Ikea has begun selling prefab houses in Sweden and is rolling them out in the UK.

Quoted: BoKlok homes don't exactly come in flatpacks, but they're not far off. The timber-framed buildings are almost entirely prefabricated. They are usually brought to the site on the back of trucks as pre-assembled units, like Portakabins, with the interiors already fitted out. Each apartment is made up of two of these units, which are simply moved into position by crane. Put on the roof and exterior wall cladding, plumb and wire it in, and it's ready to live in. The typical BoKlok arrangement is an L-shaped, two-storey block with three apartments on each floor. One such block can be put up in a day...

Stunning...

Quoted: This may be the funniest pie-chart joke evar: "Percentage of Chart Which Resembles Pac-Man," represented as a pie-chart, resembling Pac Man.

So many memories ... Bo was totally unstoppable in this game. I can't claim I ever had a run quite like that though.

This is just slimy (it also locks out competing music stores). If Microsoft had pulled a move like this they would probably be in court by now...

I don't think my next MP3 player will be from Apple.
(was already having doubts after I read the 6G iPods take about 50% longer to boot up and are much slower for collection browsing :( )

Interesting visualization of the blogosphere and the connections within it.

This looks like an excellent zombie comic series. Has anyone read this? Does anybody have the first volume to loan me?

Ghost ride da whip ... I'm getting slow on Internet phenomena.

Quoted: (1) get in your car and drive
(2) *while* your car is moving forward
(3) step out of the driver's seat and dance around in the road
(4) optional: jump on top of your car, which remains in motion, and vamp on the roof.
(5) refrain from dying
(6) post video on the internet, boyyyeeeeee.

Interesting, and funny :)

Scary stuff. A guy creates a bike with a dot matrix chalk printer he uses to print freedom of speech messages at the RNC. He gets arrested and later finds out that he was not randomly picked up but the target of pre-RNC intelligence gathering.
