I can't help you with the jetpack, but housecleaning robots are beginning to appear, such as Roomba and Scooba.

This weekend my brother and I were discussing our theories on how the <A HREF="http://www.therobomaid.com/">Robomaid</A> works.

We tried to use our combined knowledge of physics to somehow grasp an understanding of this household cleaning stuff, but it didn't happen.

Magick.

And the same technology that makes the Bumble Ball work.

Bugmenot is a service that will allow you to bypass those annoying login prompts for news articles and such. It's easy to use and free.

If you like prison stories or HBO's Oz you should check out:

www.gorillaconvict.com

It's the website for a convict in the Federal Prison system. Has excerpt from his book and a blog about life in prison.

I find the writing just flat out hilarious. Genius at times.

I'm guilty of not wading through this entire thing and checking to see that this hasn't already been posted.

LiveJournal on random

Now, this is a sort of masochistic interesting. The random feature seems to pull up the journals whose owners are really scraping the bottom of the intelligence, interest, personality, and writing style pool. Spend just 5 minutes refreshing for a new random journal and I bet the average age of owner will be 15. You'll see at least 3 anorexia/"thinspiration" journals, 5 journals full of emo poetry and references to self-injury, 1 journal that is soley for posting nude pictures (we're going to hope this user is over 18, thus inflating your average to 15), and no journals that show even a minimum grasp of grammar and spelling.

Now, there are worthwhile journals and communities over there. But with so much utter crap on there, you're statistically bound to pull up the painfullly hilarious stuff. I like to pretend that LJ just blocks the good stuff on Random though.

Geez, I hope no one pulls up my journal doing this. (No, my user name there is not "Neurotica".)

Neurotica · 08-18-2005, 04:02 PM

Ok, so refresh was the wrong word. That would just refresh the first journal you retrieve. You actually have to re-enter http://www.livejournal.com/random.bml into your address bar.

With as many times as I've entertained myself this way, you'd think I wouldn't have made that mistake.

I love the Stumble addon to Firefox.

This site lets you pick the top and bottom halves of headshots of various people. The two halves seamlessly combine to form a new face.
