- Been away from twitter for many weeks. Nothing has changed. Same old ppl, same old topics. Quoted tweets still have " at the end of URLs.
- Hmm, "Vegan Black Metal Chef" or "Nyan Cat Extended Edition". Choices, choices.
- WTF! Reddit down. Again? What's the point of being 'forever alone' if you can't spend a Friday night being smug about it?
- The surest argument against $noun is a 5 minute conversation with your average $nounal
- It took just 3 seconds looking at my inbox to confirm that 3 days of hiking, campfires and good company wasn't nearly enough.
- This is pretty cool. jesus phone lens attachment for making 360 degree panoramic videos. http://youtu.be/9o8AAOtOiPQ
- When complaining about cellphone charges be sure to swear a lot, make death threats and omit your cellphone number. #heretohelp #stayclassy
- @RichMulholland @justinspratt My last 4 Kulula flights were ~5 hours late to on time. Flying midday = on time. Early or late = delayed.
- <weep more> the fax number is fax-to-email service.
- <weep> email response to customer service query: if you'd like to lodge a complaint please send a fax #absa
- On hold to ABSA 20mins. Another 20mins of faffing. And then I can't even email them copy of payment - needs to be faxed #brandminus
- @Brettski we use switchtel - no complaints
- @shapshak unsub/stop message should not cost more than the lowest rated sms, which is 50c. MNOs won't use free shortcodes because of abuse
- RAM couriers. Lies, excuses and delayed delivery till after the long weekend. #brandminus
- @RichMulholland http://storify.com/doingitwrong/who-gets-to-be-a-cyborg Lepht Anonym mentions using sugru to coat cybernetic implants
- @dewet anecdotes from quitters include "I remember stuff now", "no stress", "I've become a morning person" and "can't sleep if I have 1 cup"
- @dewet I switched to no more than 2 cups in the morning, without sugar. Now, after few months 4+ cups in a day will keep me awake all night.
- @clivesimpkins thanks - ECT Act says spam must have opt out & second wave from them clearly doesn't :-)
- Anyone getting sms spam from the DA? Have sent stop once & WASP blocked my number. Now no originating number, just "DA". Can't reply stop

- Custom Kindle 3 screensavers
When I first got my Kindle 3 I discovered I couldn’t change the screensavers using the known hacks for earlier versions. However it can be done now, and I can confirm it works with the Kindle (International).
A detailed page covering installation is here (windows specific - I use a mac - but it’s easy enough to do on a mac too):

http://kindlewallpapers.tumblr.com/ Dr. James Porter, medical director of robotic surgery at Swedish folds a small paper airplane with the da Vinci surgical robot to demonstrate how this device gives surgeons greater surgical precision and dexterity over existing approaches.
Minimally invasive robot-assisted surgery can offer patients significant benefits over traditional approaches, including less post-operative pain, shorter hospital stay, less blood loss, faster recovery time and quicker return to normal daily activities.
Swedish is a leader in robot-assisted surgical procedures. Its program has a longstanding, successful track record of performing more prostate, kidney and gynecologic surgeries than any other medical center in the Pacific Northwest region of the U.S. Swedish uses the da Vinci Surgical System to perform minimally invasive urological, gynecological and thoracic surgeries for diseases such as prostate cancer, kidney cancer, uterine cancer, cervical cancer, ovarian cancer and lung cancer, and to assist in complex gynecologic reconstruction surgeries.

The Stanford marshmallow experiment was a study on deferred gratification. The experiment was conducted in 1972 by psychologist Walter Mischel of Stanford University. The experiment has been repeated many times since, and the original study at Stanford has been “regarded as one of the most successful behavioural experiments”. In the study, a marshmallow was offered to each child. If the child could resist eating the marshmallow, he was promised two instead of one. The scientists analyzed how long each child resisted the temptation of eating the marshmallow, and whether or not doing so had an effect on their future success. The results provided researchers with great insight on the psychology of self control.
Playing around with a Canon IXUS 130 I purchased. Let’s see if I can get into photos with a point-n-shoot before getting a DSLR. The mug was handmade by a potter friend and has been my daily mug for 6 months now.
Since its invention in 1966, the wah-wah pedal has been instrumental in humanizing the sound of the guitar by altering the tone and frequency of its signal to mimic the human voice. Cry Baby: The Pedal That Rocks The World is a fascinating hour-long documentary that tells the story of the wah-wah pedal and its impact on contemporary music through the accounts of musicians, engineers and historians. From its technical evolution to its role in enabling greater creative expression in music, the film features interviews with icons like Eddie Van Halen, Slash, Buddy Guy, Art Thompson, Eddie Kramer, Dweezil Zappa, and Jim Dunlop.
