I'm away from Clicked this week but I hate to let it sit idle and obviously I'm still going to poke around the Web so hopefully I can do a few light updates this week.
I lost some time this morning to
Star Fighter. It's interesting how it doesn't need an instruction mode because the control keys are labeled in the screen readouts. The one bit of advice I didn't realize until my second game is that you want to shoot like crazy with the space bar, not selectively.
Portable Autonomous Sentry demonstration - Tell Sarah Connor to trick-or-treat at a different house.
I feel like there's something I'm missing about
this rental car rally. You pay 150 bucks and rent a car and drive to Montreal. And there will be parties.
"
100 Unbelievably Useful Reference Sites You’ve Never Heard Of"
Watching this commercial I have to wonder how well Sylvania light bulbs are selling in Bangkok.
Solar saves the deay headline of the day:
How a Giant Solar Tower Could Power the Future - The idea is that the temperature different between the top and bottom of a huge tower causes a natural updraft that turbines can then turn into energy. As the commenters note: dubious.
Pharrell's tattoo removal:
"It's basically like getting a skin graft, but you're not taking skin from your ass or your legs. These guys actually grow the skin for you," he explains. "First you have to give them a sample of your skin, which they then replicate. Once that's been done, they sew it on - and it's seamless."
New pictures from the
next Harry Potter movie.
The title of this is "
Stripper Fail" but it's more like a belly dancer. There's no explicit nudity and even the front of her top is blurred out but it is a wiggling dancing lady so be aware at work. Anyway, you'll see the disaster coming from a mile away.
