Wasting time last week…

No longer do links open in a new window. If you’re not using a tabbed browser, I have no sympathy for you.

Creepiest patent ever. I think some mad scientist watched a little too much Futurama.

1 billion (beel-ee-on) mazes. Yes, 1,000,000,000. Serious time wasting.

Lost camera. I know fascinating, right? Good story about bad Canadians and a woman’s attempts to resolve a seeingly simple situation.

When firefighters go bad… You just can’t make this crap up! There’s even video.

How Stuff Works Looks like UVA offering up a different take on an already perfected concept. UVA’s is more of a Q&A-type thing, while howstuffworks.com is more of a cool-type thing.

Creepy Cat Piano Apparently back in 1650, someone found a use for cats!

Are the Nats about to lose their name? I hope not. They’ve only had it a year. On the other hand, good thing none of the team hats actually say “Nationals” anywhere on them!

What were the hot tracks when you were born? Grand Funk’s “We’re An American Band” for me.

Coolest computer desk ever.

The 10 strangest mp3 players Mostly Japanese products and stuff hacked together by geeks. The toilet is epsecially good.

Life in the Googleplex See what it’s like to work at Google, and why I wanted so bad to at least interview for a job in their DC office.

Why is ice slippery? No, “Because it’s ice!” isn’t a valid answer.

LEGO’d video game scenes If I knew the guy who did this, I would probably think it was sad.

Clean out your keyboard If you’re lucky, all those crumbs you find in there will be enough for a small snack.

Germans build a better mouse trap. Toyota’s Prius gets a combined 55mpg. This car gets 157mpg!

Space Invador wall

Guy introduces consumer crowd to non-Microsoft world I love this kind of thing. Love it!

How to recover scratched CDs Toothpaste! Who would’ve thunk it? Of course, you could just back up your CDs, but that would make you a dirty pirate in the eyes of your favorite bands’ representatives.

Terry Gilliam doesn’t mind pirating Speaking of dirty pirates, the MPAA probably doesn’t like Monty Python alum and director Terry Gilliam after statements like, “I’m not very sympathetic to their money problems, because they certainly haven’t been sympathetic to mine.”

Sweet iPod case Cases for iPods are less than a dime a dozen. Every now and then, someone comes up with an original idea.

More cool wallpaper Because I am a wallpaper whore. The wallpaper whore is me.

Picture of smartness-ism The greatest minds of 1927 all in one picture. You’ll certainly recognize at least one. 17 of the 29 attendees were or became Nobel winners.

Autistic kid gots skillz Pretty cool movie. Inspiring. Heartwarming. Etc.

Living in Hong Kong Gallery Crazy dense living. Crazy I tell you!

Strangest iPod accessories Most of these have to be japanese. They are a population of weird accessorizers. How else can you explain the iPod vibrator? Well, in all honesty, that could just as easily have come from California.

500 experiments you can do at home. Haven’t researched the site too much, but could it be that someone just cataloged every Mr. Wizard episode in existence?

The Modern Piggy Bank I would swap some stuff around. From left to right, I would have ‘Save|Donate|Spend|Invest’ Of course, that’s assuming the compartments aren’t equally sized.
