The color version of the Danger Hiptop (available as the “Sidekick” from T-Mobile) is almost out. The Sidekick is a neat PDA/cellphone/email pocket-thing. I would get one but it’s just a hair too big (and no one I talk to often uses text messaging enough to justify it). Read review on CNet.
KoKoRo is a cool blog with news about Japanese consumer electronics. Don’t miss the crazy 3D videogames that can be played on their phones.
Also this other bloody chick.

So far, this week:
Woke up too late so I’m dressed like an idiot.
Garage door spring thing broke, meaning we have to enter and exit through the stupid regular door, which sucks ass.
It’s both 95 degrees and rainy outside. What a combination.
The air conditioning in the office inexplicably started blowing hot air.
Had 800 emails waiting for me after the long weekend. Mostly penis enlargement but some angry clients thrown in there too.
The Essential Mix this week sucks.
Yes, I am just now digging into Matrix: Reloaded commentary even though that movie dropped off everyone’s radar a week or two ago. That’s me, stuck in the near-past. Or the recently-present. Something. Anyway there are some funny reviews out there, check out this quote:
The main problem is this: The characters in the Matrix franchise are far too cool. This has always been a problem. Morpheus sits with his fingertips touching, everyone wears shades and a super-long trench coat that billows behind him, etc. Coolness of this sort is both despicable and laughable. It’s trying too hard. It is an elitism dumbed down and sold to adolescents. What redeems this problem is that fact that they are only cool in …
Read the Vice Guide to having a crush. Example:
After masturbating about her 16 times, she is basically your girlfriend (in your head). Therefore, the next time you see her you’ll be all laid-back and casual, touching her shoulder and saying, “What’s going on?” in a relaxed, long-term boyfriend kind of way. How could you be uncomfortable around a woman who, just last night, was on her knees in white high heels and turquoise socks BEGGING to feel your cum in her mouth (with Béatrice Dalle tied up behind her, masturbating).
So I take a nap at 6pm on Saturday and wake up 6am on Sunday. Oops! There goes my evening.. thank god this is a holiday weekend or I would be so super sad, having done nothing on Friday either.
I had never heard of this: apparently some states require drug dealers to pay a tax on the drugs they sell and attach special stamps to their product proving that the tax is paid. Anyone caught selling drugs without the stamps will be liable to pay the price of the stamp plus a fee. The drugs are still illegal, so you get those penalties too. Weird. Information about the drug tax in Kansas.
I modified MovableType to allow you to subscribe to comment threads; just click the box to be notified of future comments and you’ll get an email when someone posts another comment on the item. I wrote this because I often lose track of discussions I’m in on other weblogs, and MT really needs this completely obvious feature to be available. Assuming it works ok I’ll post diffs and instructions here.
A torrent index site I really liked, Torrentse.cx, appears to be gone.
