My hamster, Harry, has a bit of a temper. He's got his own blog. See what he has to say about me, the big dumb guy.
“Let that geek flag fly—it’s Embrace Your Geekness Day! Yes, it’s a made-up holiday (don’t worry, banks are still open) and ‘geekness’ isn’t a real word, but who cares? We all need to unleash the geek on occasion.”

“Last week, Slate asked its readers to submit their suggestions for a golden rule of texting etiquette — a simple, easy-to-remember, universal solution for those awkward texting moments when the line between politeness and rudeness begins to blur. After sifting through over 300 responses, the Slate editors finally unearthed the winner: a maxim known as ‘The Bathroom Rule.’”

So I’m one of the few people on the planet who hasn’t seen the blue alien epic, "Avatar." Not because I didn’t want to see it, but because the fall/winter was kind of crazy for me — I was working a lot.
But I do love all of the blue folks, and right after the Oscars, I searched in vain for an iPhone app that might turn me into one. It wasn’t to be.
But finally, someone heard my quiet prayers and has come through with PhotoAvatar, which for a cool buck will you turn you blue and into two different other kinds of aliens, as well. The app even has a cool animation that shows your bad avatar self moving your head around and blinking. But, unfortunately, you can only save or mail a photo.
But, for another $2.99, you can get PhotoSpeak in the iTunes store (which is by the same developer). This app will take your picture and then animate to say whatever you want. You can record yourself talking to animate it (see YouTube video in this story), or you can use other recordings.
So what are you waiting for? Get out there and make your blue guy epic. Be sure and send me a link.
Oooh, I love it. Party finger lights, “ideal for night blogging.” Umm, I think I’ll pass. The doggie USB hub is a little over the top, as well. Go to Engadget for more (click the “Via” link above).
Do you spend nights spooning your iPhone? Or, have you developed a nasty case of “iPhone thumb”? Well, my friend, it might be time to back away from your favorite Apple gadget. Researchers at Stanford University found that iPhone users are so enamored with their smartphones that they would classify their reliance as an addiction. …
“Welcome Citizens of the Myouterspace United Planets.”
Yes, that is the first line in the introduction to William Shatner’s new social network: myouterspace.com. Quit your MySpaces, Facebooks and Twitters because this is apparently the new future of the Internets — trust Captain Kirk, he practically invented the future!

Oh no! We’re too late! IE6 was laid to rest yesterday, after 8 long years of service to the internet, and we didn’t even have time to say our last goodbyes. A group of Internet Renegades got together and actually buried (?) the defunct browser. CNN got ahold of it and they even have a Twitter dedicated to IE6′s demise.
We lied before. We’re not that sad to see it go. If you’re viewing Urlesque in IE6 at this very moment, here’s the link to upgrade. RIP IE6.
This one’s better without comments. Just click the “via” link above.
