Doppel's Dementia

Darana turned me on to this Line Rider – beta by ~fsk on deviantART which is a fun little game. You draw lines with a pencil tool and then a little guy on a sled rides the lines like a roller coaster (er, or a sled going downhill I guess). Enjoy!

I ran across the link below which goes to show how arrogant some companies can be about their trademark names. Monster Cable has sued various other companies that are in entirely separate realms for trademark infringement of the word “monster”. Kind of ridiculous really, I mean who’s going to mistake Monster.com and try to buy audio cables from an employment web site? Two other examples are suing the Discovery Channel for “Monster Garage” and Disney for “Monsters, Inc.”. What a bunch of arrogant weasels.

Monster Cable: let’s sue everyone!

As much as I hate Anheuser-Busch and the politics around the current deployment of U.S. troops I really like this video

Somehow the topic of Black Metal came up on the train ride home the other day so I promised my friend I’d find the link to the Top 10 Most Ridiculous Black Metal Pics of All Time. Sadly the original page is gone but at least it was archived by our friends at archive.org. For a taste of the horror within check out this pic of a band called Dimmu Borgir. Somewhere I saw someone comment that it looks like they Photoshopped in a guy from some cheesy new-wave type band into this picture:

One of my gaming buddies (thanks Bean!) posted a link to Newest Webcams at Opentopia. They built a page that has scraped the Internet for unsecured webcams and have links to a ton of them.

Another neat trick was posted by soreal, just put this into Google and it will search for unsecured webcams that use that sort of URL: inurl:”ViewerFrame?Mode=” (Not as useful since there aren’t thumbnails like Opentopia has though.)

Vladmaster reels are “Handmade Viewmaster reels designed, photgraphed and hand-assembled by Vladimir”. I think that’s a really cool idea and wonder why I haven’t seen such a thing before. He has a neat set of four disks based on parables written by Franz Kafka here. Thanks to my lovely wife for finding this link.

Wow, talk about a hard-core Apple-head…
