That big old clock is pretty cool by itself, but projectvirus went one step further by embedding small pieces of information along the edges of the clock, including the date, weather conditions, system monitor, and music playback info. The whole setup is accomplished using the...

by Sean Fallon (22) on Gizmodo (263) 6 days, 3 hours ago permalink
The toolbag lost by astronaut Heidi Stefanyshyn-Piper last week is quickly becoming the most famous piece of $100,000 junk floating around in space. In fact, countless nerds have pointed their telescopes into the night sky attempting to catch a glimpse of the backpack-sized bag orbiting the Earth. At least one man has succeeded in this endeavor—and he managed to capture it on video to boot. Hit the video after the break to watch the original ...

Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart make mashed potatoes (55) share digg
by Xeni Jardin (19) on Boing Boing (181) 1 week ago permalink
Martha Stewart made mashed potatoes with Fatherhood star Snoop Dogg on her television show recently. About the very funny video clip above, she blogs: [He] taught me some of his very own language called Snoop-guistics. He and his posse add ‘izzles’ onto the ends of words. It’s kind of a code, or a way of communicating so that others won’t know what they’re talking about. Example: fo shizzle is how they say, for sure. Snoop ...

Acquisition Dance Between Facebook And Twitter Over For Now? (48) share digg
by Robin Wauters (14) on TechCrunch (414) 1 week ago permalink
It’s not the first time we’ve heard rumors about Facebook looking to acquire Twitter or about an impending deal breaking down. But this time, Kara Swisher over at BoomTown offers a bit of insight about the actual deal size. According to Kara (and her sources), Facebook was offering $500 million of its stock at the infamous (and ridiculous) $15 billion valuation to acquire Twitter up until 3 weeks ago. Apparently talks, which were reportedly initiated ...

by John Mahoney (11) on Gizmodo (263) 1 week, 2 days ago permalink
Back to the usual review this week, after our 20 Essential Apps list last Friday. Thankfully, it's been a pretty good week in the store, with lots of actually useful apps—including a full-fledged four-track recorder and a couple of utilities that actually add some usable core features that I wish would have made it into the 2.2 software update today. Oh, and of course, something Japanese and crazy. Onward! Four Track: Remember how Keith Richards ...

Tonight, because it’s Friday night, I offer a video clip for your viewing pleasure. Or pain, depending on how much you like it. I haven’t posted videos here in a long, long time because I just haven’t wanted to figure out how to do it properly, and I generally just avoid doing things that are hard. I’m definitely not there yet, and still need to figure out how to tweak and improve the quality, but ...
