Best iTunes Gift Card Ever!

















This story is amazing. When Louie Sulcer answered his phone on February 24th, the person on the other end of the line said 'This is Steve Jobs from Apple.' Who would believe that one? It turns out that it really was Steve Jobs. Mr. Sulcer had downloaded the 10 billionth song from iTunes. Mr. Jobs called to tell him that his reward was a $10,000 iTunes card.

I love Apple!

Christine















Who could forget the 1983 classic 'Christine?' Her sound alone makes me want her. It turns out that there are only three Christines left in existence and they are all owned by obsessed movie fans. The cleanest sample is owned by Bill Gibson of Pensacola Florida.

Mondays















Ah, Mondays. A picture is really worth a thousand words. :-)

No Laptops In Class



This is great. This professor at the University of Oklahoma has a strict 'no laptop use in class' policy. I can certainly see his point. It is distracting to other students as the computers are often used for non-class related surfing, etc.

Where can I get some liquid nitrogen? :-)

Photoshop Turns 20 Today
















It is hard to believe but Photoshop turned 20 today. This software changed photography as we know it. Much like the word Google, Photoshop is also used as a verb.

Please Rob Me



















This is hilarious. It is the perfect tool for a burglar. It is a website called 'Please Rob Me.' The basic idea is that with people telling the world everything that they are doing on Facebook and Twitter, 'Please Rob Me' keeps up with who is away from home.

The websites founders say that their objective is not really to have people robbed but to show the world the dangers of social networking.

The other option is to just lave a hungry tiger at home in your absence :-)
