But stealing cool ideas is the way I roll.

A new creation by Microsoft is posed to revolutionize the gaming experience.  Project NATAL will work with any XBOX360 and is a HUGE step in the race to rule the living room.  Check out this live demo that was on Jimmy Fallon’s show, still a little buggy, but still a huge WOW!!!

I’m scared to think “what’s next?”

Here is the first movie from Ronnoc.  It’s done in Lego stop motion.  The story is a battle between knights and skeletons.  Then a time machine door and out comes a droid.  A heavily armed person follows and he takes care of the rest of the knights.

Pretty cool if stark representation of the current state of job growth [loss].

Very interesting article on the worth of work.

This active concern for the motorcycle is reinforced by the social aspects of the job. As is the case with many independent mechanics, my business is based entirely on word of mouth. I sometimes barter services with machinists and metal fabricators. This has a very different feel than transactions with money; it situates me in a community. The result is that I really don’t want to mess up anybody’s motorcycle or charge more than a fair price.
