Note: The below is an archived entry from Earthling, formerly EarthLink's official blog. The blog itself has been decommissioned and is no longer updated, and comments are trackbacks are no longer accepted.
- Point-Counterpoint on the Hewitt Sandwich Lady - I'm reassured by this evidence that MySpace-generation college students still wage heated debates on dining hall comment cards. And thanks to blogs, now stories like this can be told.
- Huge Remote Control - I'll grant a heh to just about anything that's comedically large. Merlin Mann's notes in del.icio.us indicate he's with me on this. [via Random Good Stuff]
- Robotic Singer Crashes and Burns - Just tragic. "After a photo op wrapped, Ever-2 was being escorted to the exhibition hall when a central component that handles neck movements broke down. A researcher with the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology attempted emergency CPR, but Ever-2 was not herself for the rest of the day and could only lip-synch and perform simple hand movements." The photos are hauntingly creepy.
- George W. Bush Speech Writer - Generate your own Bush speech from actual audio clips and audience reactions. [via Matt McAlister]
- 1980 Coleco Catalog - Pages and pages of classic video game goodness, including the old football game with the l.e.d. lights that would blip across the field. The blinking one was the ball, just like real football.
- Teaching Crafts To Prisoners - I can't improve on that headline.
- Insanely Great Tees Shipping Options - Judson noticed an extra option in the shipping choices.
- Sorry I Haven't Posted In a While - Really really heh. This is a collection of bloggers apologizing for going AWOL on their blogs for a while. If this was a daily feed, I'd subscribe. [via splodinvark]
