MySpace is Huge (in the US)
MySpace has a ridiculous amount of market-share for the U.S. market of Social Networking Sites I have an account with 5 of these top 10 social networking sights. I guess I'm a demographic finally. I visit YouTube and Flickr so frequently that I should have an account...
Steve & Steve Invented Breakout
WTF!? Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak invented the video game Breakout You might remember them for their other minor accompliments with their "fruit company" Apple.
Phone Disables Drunken Dialing
No Drunken Dialing Allowed with this phone by a Korean company. It's kind of incredible but the phone actually analyzes your blood alcohol level and if it is too high it blocks you from calling certain numbers (mom, ex, etc).
Is Jon Stewart Bad for America?
Jon Stewart is bad for America? Some how I don't see how the fact that the Daily show "drives down support for political institutions and makes young people more cynical about government" is such a bad thing. Isn't a more complacent populace better for democracy? This...
Pickle Phobia
Is this real? It's pretty ridiculous. I think my favorite part is when the word pickles is overlayed on the screen. Typical Maury.
Flagr
Flagr is a new social networking site that works with a map overlay to show profiles based on location. Looks pretty cool but I'll wait for the private maps feature in the new version. Could be interesting as a way of tracking my travels.
Apple Remote Tweak
Cool Remote Tweak for Apple computers that use Front Row. I'm going to have to look into this software when I get a MacBook. That is assuming I buy one what with all the noise going around about the stains.. :/
BitTorrent Repents
BitTorrent being used by Duke City Film Festival Its good to see the technology used for good instead of being berated for being evil. info on the Duke City Shoot Out
‘Rescue Me’ Character Goes too Far
When a TV show crosses the line I don't watch this show at all but I enjoy Dennis Leary. It's kind of incredible that they would write something like a rape into a TV but still expect the audience to identify with the character. (You might need to get an account here...
Scientology Oreintation Video
Clerks II
Featurette on Clerks II (see also trailer) Could this be the most anticipated movie of the summer? Superman be damned!
Good News for New Yorkers
A new survey has listed New York as the most courteous city on the earth. Good thing I'm moving there. 😀
Nicotine in a Bottle
New drink provides an alternative to smoking A drink that actually gives you a nictotine fix.. :/
Flash Experiment
Flash Experiment This kind of has the same appeal as twirling sparkler on the fourth of July.
Overheard in New York
http://www.overheardinnewyork.com/ Perhaps I will be overhearing some of these very things very soon.
Denise Denton kills herself

Updates to natecooper.net
I just spent the last four or five hours tweaking http://natecooper.net. There remains things to be tweaked but I'm pleased with what I've done so far. Most of it is non-cosmetic and deals more with the underlying code. The trouble for me is that I'm using word press...
Tune in Read up
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/25/books/review/25sante.html Interesting article on the biography of Timothy Leary. Kind of a breif overview of his life. The article lead me to this entry on Wikipedia about the Diggers. They were apparently an avante garde theater...
