Wake n’ Bacon wakes you with the smell of breakfast | Geek.com
The way it works is that a person puts a slice of frozen bacon into the tray of the clock before going to bed. In the morning, the alarm clock then activates ten minutes before the alarm time and turns on two halogen lamps which slowly cook the bacon. Ten minutes later you are supposed to wake with the delicious smell of cooked pork in your bedroom. If that doesn’t do the the trick, then a backup alarm sounds to wake the individual.
Yeah, a dancer, or something.
Just keep looking till it’s funny.
This is supposed to be showing in theaters starting this weekend. Gee, I wonder why. As I said before, I’m a total terminator fanboi sometimes, and I’m becoming a Bale fanboi. I’m starting to get irrationally excited.

A 13 year old from Texas who stole his Dad’s credit card and ordered two hookers from an escort agency, has today been convicted of fraud and given a three year community order.
“The assembly was finished much faster than we expected, and by noon we were doing science,” Sounds like a transcription error. I think he probably said “…by noon we were doing Science!”
Quickies: Intelligent Sticky Notes
A newly-written Quickie is a simple Post-it note, which is scribed on a sensitive pad that allows the computer to capture and store the written information. This is done using commercially available digital-pen hardware, which translates the movement of the pen on the surface of the paper sticky note into digital information. The data can be viewed at any time through the Quickie software, which stores the sticky notes as images and converts the hand-written notes into computer-understandable text using available handwriting recognition algorithms.
The Quickie application not only allows users to browse their notes, but also lets users search for specific information or keywords. Using a freely available commonsense knowledge engine and computational AI techniques, the software processes the written text and determines the relevant context of the notes, categorizing them appropriately. “The system uses its understanding of the user’s intentions, content, and the context of the notes to provide the user with reminders, alerts, messages, and just-in-time information” – said the inventors. Additionally, each Quickie carries a unique RFID tag, so that it can be easily located around the house or office. Therefore, users can be sure never to lose a bookmarked book or any other object marked with a Quickie.
There’s no reason this has to be a sticky note. I can think of a few form factors that might work better, like a staple or paper clip, for example.

After daring escape, monkeys on the lam
Their keepers never thought the patases would brave the dark waters of an 8-foot-deep, 60-foot-wide moat around their 1-acre island preserve north of Lakeland. But they did. Every last one of them went into the drink and over a wall.
[…]
The moat might work for captive-born monkeys, Wilson said, but wild ones don’t see water as a danger.“They have their wild instincts intact,” Wilson said. “It probably never occurred to them not to swim out.”
From a purely marketing point of view, this is one of the worst ads I’ve ever seen. The response was even worse: Read the rest of this entry »
Amazon.com: Witchblade - The Complete Series: Witchblade: Movies & TV
I’ve been going on about this series for some time, as the other Ziggurati can attest to. It is now in pre-order status at Amazon. Somehow, someone decided “yes, lets make it just like 90’s era Witchblade, except with more clothing, better characterization, real actual plots, nothing like the comic book, and people will watch it”. And they did make it. And we did watch it. And they canceled it.
