RocketCopy

where's the other seven? 
The 9
Yahoo's got a new polished take (read: bigger budget rip-off) of the now Amanda Congdon-less Rocketboom. But it's entertaining and there's some other hot blonde.

Most influential albums

The 50
I can't disagree with most of them. Yes, kraftwerk and nirvana are there.

What's your house worth?

Find Your Home Value, House Values
This place gives you an estimate and some comps with just an address. I don't know how correct it is but I hope it's close.

NameVoyager

The Baby Name Wizard: NameVoyager

What is the internet?

DJ Senator Ted Stevens Techno Remix
For those wondering how your email gets to the other PC, Senator Ted Stevens is here for the inservice. I'm glad the people running this country have everything under control.

Pitch a tent...hahahahahaha

You're free!!! 
Quechua : 2 second tent
After that monstrosity that we took camping the last time (not that I used it much). This is that way of the future. It take two seconds to pitch this tent. It's got me beat by about 7. And it sounds like its under $100.

Paradise Lakers

Monkey Sea, Monkey Doo, Monkey Throw Monkey Doo 
Seadoo Speedster Wake
The Lakers are in Southern California known for their abundance of lakes. Well man-made ones. If by any chance we end up staying here for more than a year after nursing school I was informed we were getting a boat. If that horrible thing happens this is the one we will get. Here's a bunch of boat propaganda courtesy of Seadoo:
"Everything on the new Speedster Wake was designed for extreme sport and serious air. A new ballast tank allows you to fill and empty water in minutes at the touch of a button. It also comes with PerfectPassTM Pro Speed Control with eight different speed controls to help you personalize and create the perfect wake for different riders. Spotters can also speak to boarders through a P.A. system connected to two tower speakers. On the Speedster Wake, you'll take the sport to another level."
Did ya read that, "Another level". That'll get me to level 2! Where do I sign.

Ecstasy [still] Rising

I know I've posted this before, but it's just good TV.

RocketBust?

It's bad news for those of you that like your news in a tight sweater. Amanda Congdon is no longer on Rocketboom. Here's a possible replacement. [Tip: if you've never watched the boom, check out the the archives first]

Breezy (rap for breeze) 
Breeze Maple
Welcome to the world of cyborg trees.

"Breeze can visually sense and react through 360 degrees, allowing her to reach out to you and others whenever you are near. This is not a dancing bush, the motion is subtle and artistic, and at the same time, surreal."

This is done with nitinol wires that bend when exposed to a current. This is going to have some interesting tech apllications in the future. Think: guard trees, temp sensors, online activity, plant droops when B is on a pron site, etc.

RIP...Now gimme my money

RipMobile
I know you have old cell phones in a drawer somewhere. You were totally gonna sell them on eBay, but now what? RIP Mobile will recycle your phone and give you credit that you can use at some pretty decent stores. And if you're feeling green, you can use it to for Terrapass credit to offset your gas guzzler.

Holy Shnikeys!!!

One more reason to feel lamer than Laird Hamilton. Well this and that his wife can kick your ass.

Boom shaka laka

MEIZU MP3 PLAYER
Please help us celebrate the birth of Santa Claus by buying me the Meizu Portable Media Player. Only $219 for 4 Gigabits of flashy goodness. It's not even made by Apple. Now if B started to like women, the apocalypse would be just around the corner.

Herbie the Love Golf?

Hello Dave. 
The self-driving Golf
So the Stanford Darpa Crawled along to win the challenge and VW has a GTi Golf that can self-drive to it's 150 mph max speed? Better than it's own drivers? WTF?
