Feeling a little Needie? http://needies.com Created by Amos Bloomberg, Daniel Perlin, and Brett Schultz at NYU and designed by Emily Ryan, they reflect the seamy (pun, uh, intended) underbelly of stuffed toys that have "complex relationships" with their owners (read: they're clingy and codependent). Squeeze them, hold them, just don't be surprised when they stop singing, cooing, and shamelessly flattering you, and instead start demanding you throw the other Needies around or act all paranoid that they're not getting enough attention. In other words, it's the perfect substitute for a relationship. 
Im on sooooo many watch-lists for this... but...

Sea Anemone Clock
aaron tang: "The clock also bounces away from the origin, due to the rumbling, thus creating another challenge of getting out of bed and chasing the clock around the room"

I can assure you that I feel worse than my shoes look! We came 11th in the ANZAC 24 hour Rogaine on the weekend. We covered over 70km and climbed 2.5km. We were completely and utterly lost for over 3 hours but some excellent night nav and a superb ridge line attack in the early hours earned us a significant point score. A last minute grab for points saw us running over the finish line with 6 minutes to spare. An epic adventure indeed.
Let me assure you, i feel worse than my shoes look. We did fantastically given that we were lost for four hours. After 3 hours of lost-ness we just decided to head for the sound of the cars on the freeway. We were so mentally drained that when we arrived at a sign posted track junction that was marked on the map, we decided that "we could not possibly be there" so we spent the next 30 minutes to come up with the idea "bugger it lets just assume we are here cause its all we got". After some fabulous night nav followed by a wicked ridge line attack in the early hours, we managed to to secure 11th place and a suspected fracture in my foot. Now i am going to eat like an anaconda and sleep all winter...

Man. One of these puppies is held together with blue tac. Can you guess which one? Everytime it rains (and i have the dryer on) the fuse box decides to explode. Last time the fuse blew i replaced it with massively thick wire held in place with blue tac. Now the power doesnt go straight off... It flickers on and off for 20 panic inducing seconds until finally giving up the ghost. Answer: wait 15 mins for everything to cool down and re apply blue tac. This house is *so* the Fight Club house. I am Jacks smouldering appliances...

SCIgen - An Automatic CS Paper Generator
One such report actually got put into a worldwide conference! see here: ABC News SCIgen - An Automatic CS Paper Generator
911 Dispatcher Offers To Shoot Child, As Joke
CBS 2 Chicago WBBM-TV: 911 Dispatcher Offers To Shoot Child, As Joke: "Apr 14, 2005 4:18 pm US/Central WATAUGA, Texas (CBS) A 911 dispatcher in Texas is apologizing for an ill-timed wisecrack to a mother who called for help in dealing with her unruly daughter. Caller: 'The 12-year-old is completely out of control and I, I can't physically...She's as big as I am. I can't control her.' Dispatcher: 'O.K., did you want us to come over and shoot her?' (pause) Dispatcher: 'Are you there?' Caller: 'Excuse me?' Dispatcher: 'Uh, that's a joke.' The mother didn't find it very funny. The dispatcher in a suburb of Fort Worth has apologized for his response, calling it 'stupid' and 'inexcusable.' The woman says she called 911 after coming home to find her daughters fighting. She told the dispatcher her 12-year-old had kicked a hole in the door. After his comment, the dispatcher apologized and told her he was joking. He also told his supervisor what happened -- after it became clear that the caller wasn't at all amused. The police chief has written at letter to the dispatcher saying he'll be fired for 'any future unprofessional responses.' Last month, a state trooper in Connecticut was suspended for 15 days without pay, after saying 'too bad' to a 911 caller seeking help for the victim of a motorcycle accident."

JIM505
If you see a dark blue commodore-like car with the NSW numberplate JIM505, let me know. The female driver of that car intentionally tried to run me over this morning because she was upset with some *other* cyclists who were "in her way" while they were riding IN THE BIKE LANE!!! Why she took it out on me ill never know. She swerved into me intentionally and connected with my foot. Its a good thing to know that people who drive fast and road-rage usually end up in flaming wrecks. Lets hope she doesnt take out anybody with her...

Dirtworks 100km MTB Classic
Yep. I did it. 100km of Dirt!!!! My longest (distance-wise) MTB ride ever! Just over 6 and a half hours ending in a sprint finish. Its been a long time since Ive been that wrecked. Let me just say that the body is awesome at producing performance enhancing drugs. When you fly down a rocky descent you can actually feel the adrenalin coming on... kinda gives you gooesbumps (and maybe even a little smile!). Epedrine is different, you sort of feel a bit hyper alert but tingly, like taking too many cold and flu tablets. I just love these long events. Truly a journey of the mind as well as the body...

Bad taste? Yes... ROFL? Yes... I felt quite strongly that the way Terry Shaivo died was a display of incredible cruelty. Imagine starving to death over twoo weeks and not being able to speak. BUT out of most tragedy comes humor so... lets laugh a bit and hope this never happens again. Terri Schiavo's Blog
