A “new” kind of puzzle for Sudoku lovers (or just logic/math lovers). Thanks Brad. http://www.kenken.com/playnow.html Just like in Sudoku, every number in a row or column has to be unique, but numbers inside bolded cell groups, called cages, have to conform to the specified rule listed in the corner of the cage. For example, “2-” [...]

I don’t know how I hadn’t heard of this. Thanks Eric. swoopo.com What is it? It’s a bidding site, like eBay, yet sooo much more evil/genius. Instead of bidding with a price that you specify, you instead place a bid and the site auto-increments the asking price for you by a pre-designated amount. The catch: [...]

Someone made a remix of Bale’s tirade, and it is awesome: http://www.youtube.com/v/YTihsJQHt48&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0×999999 I don’t really sympathize with either party too much (to the extent of how little I care about the whole thing).

And that’s because it looks like Microsoft started sponsoring them, and now new videos can be found at http://www.watchtheguild.com/. Thanks to Eric for the heads up. If you haven’t heard of The Guild, it stars and is [...]

Not just awesome, fucking awesome. http://fourohone.net/geek/2008/11/do-want/ Now I just need a woman who would appreciate such a thing. Oh and, make your handwriting into a truetype font for free. Haven’t tried it out yet despite the fact that there’s a scanner literally next to my right arm. I’ll do it later.

Ha, for some reason I didn’t notice when I saw the commercial during the Superbowl, but thanks to the internet, I was able to watch it again and see Audi clearly dissing Lexus more than the other lux brands. I was amused. http://superbowlads.fanhouse.com/quarter1/Audi-Transporter/2409683 Don’t get me wrong, Lexus is very nice in a coddling, pampering [...]
