Oh Rats!

If you ever have a rat problem, I would think that feeding them milk is not the best way to get rid of them.

I'm going to hell - second level

This is a fun little test to see if you're going to hell. If you ever make it to the second level, stop by and say "Hi". I guess I like sex too much to move on down to the city of Dis where all the heretics live.


The Dante's Inferno Test has banished you to the Second Level of Hell!
Here is how you matched up against all the levels:

Level	Score
Purgatory (Repenting Believers)	Very Low
Level 1 - Limbo (Virtuous Non-Believers)	Moderate
Level 2 (Lustful)	Very High
Level 3 (Gluttonous)	Moderate
Level 4 (Prodigal and Avaricious)	High
Level 5 (Wrathful and Gloomy)	Low
Level 6 - The City of Dis (Heretics)	Very High
Level 7 (Violent)	Moderate
Level 8- the Malebolge (Fraudulent, Malicious, Panderers)	Moderate
Level 9 - Cocytus (Treacherous)	Moderate

Take the Dante's Divine Comedy Inferno Test

On the Surface

I had heard about this technology but didn't think any products would be ready so soon. If you haven't seen it already, check out Microsoft Surface...
http://www.microsoft.com/surface/

The idea that this surface could recognize cell phones, PDAs, and music players that are placed on top of it, immediately sync and interact with the screen, was wicked cool.

For those of you who like board games, I really like one of the team developers ideas, that this technology would be great for "messy" board games, such as Risk, Axis & Allies, Stratego, etc. Quick setup and easy clean up. And all the players can sit around the board...ummm screen... and move the pieces with their hands. The rules could be written into the program, so no hour long discussions about how to interpret them.

No prices are available yet since the product won't be shipping for a while, but I'm guessing it won't be cheap. 5-10 grand at least. But hopefully within a few years, the prices will plummet and I can have one in my living room.
