Hands-free kits cause accidents too!?
An Australian study shows that using a hands-free cellphone kit while driving is no safer than holding phone up to your ear.
Ha! I knew it!

Super Mario Physics
A very funny and cool flash movie. It’s a physics lesson in the Super Mario Brothers universe. The part where Mario breaks the sound barrier is great! Definitely worth seeing.
Man inflates forehead for “art”
Dunno about the artistic value of this, but I guess it goes along with body piercing and mutiliation.
I’m worried about what happens if he inflates too much..
By the way, that’s saline solution, not air. If it were helium, would the guy become lighter?

Joystiq: PS3 53% of market share predicted
While I think it’s premature (and hilarious) for such a specific market share amount, especially this early in the game when prices haven’t been set for any of the next-generation consoles, it’s interesting that they’re predicting a much lower market share for the PS3 than the PS2 has over current consoles.
Still, I gotta say that I’ll probably be getting both the XBox 360 and the PS3! Better start saving…
forksplit
forksplit is one of my favorite personal blogs. It’s from a lady living in Brooklyn, with an interesting (and psychotic) family and worldview. I frequently laugh out loud at these posts, and look forward to new ones.
The post about her experience taking a broken iPod in to the Genius Bar at an Apple store is priceless!
