I used to have a little stuffed snowman, and on its back there was this funny message: "lace snow it." After pondering for days, I concluded it was a really bad translation of "let it snow." Well, here is a whole collection of bad translations on Japanese Engrish.

I don't know which is more crazy: building a huge Lego church or dedicating it to your cat. Regardless, the project is impressive.

The Internet gets blamed for everything. Now it's being blamed for marital breakups.

I don't know about this. Do you think gumball poetry machines will catch on? I'd like to try one just for the heck of it.

They heard us! The dumb ass Digital-copyright bill has been slammed.

New US paper money will have tinted colored backgrounds in order to foil counterfeiters. Since I haven't seen these new bills yet, I guess I don't have much of an opinion.

Yep, they really did kill Kenny this time, and I didn't even notice until a friend pointed it out to me. Anyway, I'm glad they promoted Butters to a more predominant role.

I feel this is really important. Please read the action alert from the Electronic Frontier Foundation. It explains how the Consumer Broadband and Digital Television Promotion Act (CBDTPA) will hurt consumers and technology companies.

I'm always interested in new technology, but this new wireless smart glass which notifies the waiter when a glass needs to be refilled is something I never would have dreamed of.

Here is a site which is devoted to the research of my favorite Easter candy, marshmallow peeps. The peeps also have an official web site which isn't nearly as interesting. Oh, there might be one thing better than peeps though. That's See's chocolate.

I can't believe these shenanigans from Yahoo. They have changed every user's marketing preferences to maximize spam. If you have a Yahoo ID, go to your account info screen, and click the link labelled "Edit Your Marketing Preferences." Change every ad category to "no," and also click "no" for the "contact me by phone" and "contact me by US mail" options. Ugh.... and to think there was a time when they were actually cool.

Do You Know What I'm Going to Do Next Saturday? That's the title of a banned Dr. Seuss book. Who wouldn't want their child to learn how to read with a rhyming story of shooting sprees and suicide? If violent textbooks are good for Afghanistan, then they are good for us too!

This article from Space.com describes how humans might make a 43 year long journey to Alpha Centauri. The article doesn't explain what they might do once they get there. At least they will be able to grow their own fish sticks.
