Weblog My Mind Leaks posts a detailed guide to uncluttering your Google Reader feeds by using Google Reader Trends to prune items you don't need or read. The author walks through his own feeds, analyzing which feeds he reads, which he doesn't, and which deliver too much content for him to keep up with. We actually suggested that Google Reader Trends could be a great way to prune your RSS feeds when the feature first ...

A cruel, very talented man named Dean T. Fraser has decided that our Simpsons, Batman, Iron Man, Spiderman, Halo, and miscellaneous superheroes, supervillain, and sci-fi fetishes weren't enough on their own, so he Simpsonized them all. Now, if anyone makes any of the characters in this amazing gallery out of Lego, I will spontaneously self-combust in a fiery ball of nerdgasmic lust. We want a "DC vs Marvel: the Springfield Wars" miniseries now. [Springfield Punx, ...

And, as far as I can see, almost nothing has been left out--if you're a Dipity member, you can add to the list. Among the chronological listings are some memes that pre-date my knowledge of the Internet ("Trojan Room ...

It's thirty inches in diameter and totals thirty feet long, all indoors. It's built to ...

One thing that stinks about Apple TV is the on-screen keyboard. You don’t need to type often, but when you do — like for searching YouTube, or entering a Wi-Fi password — you get a crummy on-screen keyboard (ABCDEF rather than QWERTY) that you have to navigate using the up/down/left/right buttons on the little remote. But it ends up Apple’s new Remote app for the iPhone solves this. Any time you need to type on ...

Apple's sure good at this. Rather than launch a wireless keyboard or fancy remote for the Apple TV, they release software for the iPhone that does the same thing. Now I wish I could get that software to work between my iPod Touch and MBA. I think it might be the MBA's fault.

He has a very bad black eye and a bandage over part of his forehead. I contacted the show’s producers to hear what happened. Earlier today, they said, Rose tripped in a pothole while walking on 59th ...
