FUCKING INCREDIBLE MULTI-TOUCH SCREEN

It's the link to the multi-touch display Kev was talking about. I'm had to repost this information to reiterate how fucking awesome it is and how you all should check it out. Really, it's so fucking cool, I just head-butted a baby.

Virtual Desktop



"Yod'm 3D provides four virtual desktops for your PC, all of them contained in a spinning 3D cube.

Virtual desktops are great for cutting down on window clutter and improving PC productivity.
Yod'm keeps it simple, giving you four virtual desktops on a rotating "cube." Just press Ctrl-Shift and the left or right arrow key to cycle between them. (You can assign different activation-key combinations, which is good: I need Ctrl-Shift for Word.) You can also hold down the activation keys and drag your mouse left or right, which provides a better rotating-cube-in-space effect. If you want to jump directly to an open application in any desktop, you can click the Yod'm icon in the System Tray and select the app."

Radiohead Album bought for $1000

Give these guys a hand...

Purebuttons.com, LLC has purchased the new Radiohead album, In Rainbows, for $1,000.00 in support of Radiohead's "silent" effort to revolutionize the music industry.

Multi Touch!

Last year Chris and I shared a video of a presenter named Jeff Han showcasing his prototype multi-touch display at the TED conference:



He started his own company and is workin on developing and marketing "the most advanced multi-touch system in the world"

Later I found Microsoft Suraface, which utilizes multi touch and is due out this winter (click the link for some awesome video demos)

This really reminds me of some sci-fi movie shit! We live in such an exciting time!

Thank God: Looks like they'll tour after all.

An excerpt from an interview with Jonny Greenwood:

Have you been trying to reduce your use of air travel because of carbon emissions?
Yeah, that’s basically why. It’s difficult because we want to travel and tour and do musical things and we’re just looking at ways of doing it without going to the other extreme. It’d be crazy to not tour for that reason but it’d also be crazy to tour in too greedy a way. So we’re just working on the balance for it. And I can’t really justify going to New York just for my own sort of thing.

Are you working out plans to tour in America at this point?
We’re talking about touring somewhere in the world next year. Now that the album’s out that’s what we’re talking about. I hope you’ll get to see some good shows.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

So fucking cool that I shit myself:

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Jedi and Spideytrooper. Jesus titty-fucking Christ.

Reservoir Dogs tie

This is the cheapest I could find them - not bad @ $4.50, plus $5.50 shipping (it's coming from the UK). However, if we all order together, shipping well be negligible - that being said, I need to know who's participating - pronto. And guys - let us not, each one, be the guy who doesn't want to have fun on motherfuckin' Halloween; let's make this shit happen.

I'm Moving to Kentucky, boys!!!

The Wildcats are my new best friends. Although I fear the suicide rate may triple here now that LSU has lost, I bask in the warm glow of mass dysphoria. Go Cocks!

Off the Grid

The trailer for the new Futurama direct-to-DVD movie.

Review: In Rainbows

"Quite how it all ranks alongside other Radiohead albums – well, let’s be honest. It’s far too early to tell. In time, the excitement of waiting for a new release by one of your favourite bands to land in your inbox will separate from the role it will go on to play in your life.

For what it’s worth, In Rainbows was sent to me at 6.30am. Three hours later, this insidious index of sonic surprises is stacking up in my mind, like planes waiting to land. The trick, I guess, is to give your fans what they didn’t know they wanted. Radiohead, old hands at this, have been doing it for over a decade now. With In Rainbows, they appear to have done it again."
