And to top it off, here’s today’s CAD comic:

There’s been a lot of criticism how badly IE6 sucked and how great of an improvement IE7 is for Microsoft. Frankly, I still think IE7 sucks. All the “improvements” made were unoriginal except for the tab thumbnail view. Yay. Well, for some odd reason, after trying the whole load-as-many-tabs-as-you-can-in-Friefox demostration, I [...]

I know this relatively old news, but I stumbled upon it in a Wired post. About 18 months ago, Dilbert comic creator Scott Adams lost his voice to a rare condition called Spasmodic Dysphonia.

In case you missed it, here’s Part I of Wired’s columnist Lore Sjöberg.

This street-legal 1971 Vauxhall Victor, dubbed Red Victor One by creator Andy Hall, does 0 to 60 in 1 second. Hall estimates the car costs $187,000 (a mere £100,000), which is a lot more than you can get from an £850,000 Bugatti. Red Victor One includes 2200bhp 9.3 liter V8 engine and does [...]

A funny article written by Lore Sjoreberg detailing his adventures in MySpace. In part one, he succumbs to the allure of the garish social network and sets up his profile. His first encounter brings him to the birth date box, where he’s “not clear on the details, but I understand that on MySpace, [...]
