The Bloom box →
Am I the only one envisioning giant robots?
The Bloom box is a new kind of fuel cell that produces electricity by combining oxygen in the air with any fuel source, such as natural gas, bio-gas, and solar energy. Sridhar said the chemical reaction is efficient and clean, creating energy without burning or combustion. He said that two Bloom boxes - each the size of a grapefruit - could wirelessly...

No taxation without representation - Wikipedia →
The Tea Party people are leaving out “Without Representation.” It’s never been about abolishing taxes, but getting taxed and not having a voice.

TaskPaper for iPhone First Look! →
Ever since Things shit the bed (for me, ymmv) I’ve been using TaskPaper on my Macs. I’ve been eagerly anticipating the TaskPaper iPhone app. In the past 30 minutes of tinkering with it I have not been disappointed. Great stuff!

Fix for WiFi problems after iPhone 3.0 upgrade →
I’ve had this problem the past few days where it’s been really hard to connect to WiFi… I’m not even sure it has worked at all at home, and at work it’s been spotty. Turns out it may be due to the latest iPhone update. It’s not to hard to fix though, tap:
Settings
General
Reset…
Reset Network Settings
Afterward go back in and redo your WiFi settings and you’ll be all set.

The iPhone obsession →
“We’re doing exactly the same as ten years ago. We now say “iPhone” instead of “IE6,” but otherwise nothing’s changed.” — Peter–Paul Koch
… except that with the iPhone you’re talking about a full–fledged browser with optional javascript that will display iPhone formatted screens.

Mobile Air Mouse →
This app has come in handy. we run the laptop into the tv to watch Hulu, Netflix, and iTunes on our television. This app eliminates the need to get up from the couch to control playback. i’m even posting this using it.

“Because of Nancy Pelosi calling people who believe in the Tea Party movement...”
– … and that is exactly why ‘Tea Party’ people come off as total loonies. The foundation of their group seems based around hearing it wrong and being unapologetic.
…Oh, and that swastika thing is pretty disgusting.
