Honda Recalls 646,000 Cars For Switch Problem

Honda Recalls 646,000 Cars For Switch Problem This affects 2007 and 2008 models, unfortunately. Details to come.

This is the descriptive post title.

And this is the short text that attempts to say something witty and leads up to the video stolen from some blog.

Making it up as they go along.

The writers of "Lost", that is. Here's an earworm to sum it up.

The latest Dork Tower

Who knows why I found this funny ...

An ode to the MAC

Beat poet Gary Snyder on our favorite computer.

BumpTop

From Cult of Mac: This company has come up with a different, 3d approach to your Mac's desktop. I keep stuff in folders off the desktop, so I don't know if I would really use this, but people who like to keep lots of things on the desktop might find it useful.

Starry, Sleepless Night

I am up and awake and killing time until I feel sleepy again. A co-worker of Ken's posted this site on Facebook. The summer sky panorama is so beautiful. I did not know it was possible to see so many stars. I feel cheated.

I spent a lot of time spinning around looking up at the sky. Amazing!

Crayola, Crayola, Crayola

Here is a nifty visualization of the Crayola color spectrum of the past 100 years. Apparently the number of standard crayon colors double every 28 years.

Wow. After viewing this you might come to the conclusion that Jay Leno has class. Things change, huh? Make mine COCO!

Nerds of Tomorrow- Today!

URLesque.com posted a series of highschool student-produced rap videos about AP classes. Ranging from Calculus and Chemistry to European History and Microeconomics, these are some adorably HILARIOUS videos that show cleverness and creativity.

They remind me of my own exhausting-but-fun AP experiences. I also love how the teachers really seem to be involved and supportive of the kids (AP Calc teacher using a classroom clock like Flava-Flav? YES.)

This guy is ADORABLE.

May the Fail be with you.

This video is yet another reason why we hate the French. Try to stick around long enough to catch the cantina dance at 1:50. But don't blame me if your eyeballs start bleeding.

New torture for geeks: This video, Clockwork Orange style.

The Saddest Video Ever

Go get yourself some tissues now. Really. Saddest ever. This is Big Bird singing "Bein' Green" at Jim Henson's funeral.

Cupcakes?

I think we can now agree that not all cupcakes are evil. In fact, some are geekily great.

Food AND fonts in one story. A veritable geek feast?

This is a story about "cheesy" advertising with personality. These ads are so good that they got rave reviews in "The Number One Ag Newspaper in Wisconsin".

Anyone in the market for a new printer?

Design an object, and "print" it in 3D with this device. How cool is that?

Ceci N'est Pas Une Spinning Wheel of Death

A British artist bought a painting from a flea market and, using a hobby motor and acrylic paints, turned it into a crashing Mac app!

Here's his blog, with a little more info, as well as build photos!

A Year in 90 Seconds

This guy named Eirik Solheim in Norway took a picture from his balcony every day for a year and stitched it all together to form one video depicting the changing seasons. He has other versions of this video and explanations of how he did it at his personal blog.

It's just great to have them all in one list, isn't it?

This is going into my iPhone for on-demand reference purposes!

Denton Photobomb!

Now that Kyle has educated me on photobombs I discover that I have one to share. Remember this guy?
