Send Me Pennies.com
Send Me Pennies
the goal of this site is to collect One Million Pennies ( 3.2 tons ) and try to spend them on a single purchase in a single day. Now this is where the fun comes in. Once I receive these One Million Pennies, I will get a film crew together and begin the adventure. I will begin by finding an armored truck service to carry the weight of the pennies. This won't be easy, because I will have to pay for it in pennies. Next, I will drive to a business and make a deal to purchase an item at the value of the leftover pennies. When the deal is ready to close and it comes time to pay, I will direct them to the parking lot where the money is. They can then decide if making the sale is worth the expense of trying to cash in and sort all those coins. Most business would be out of their mind to incur that cost.

Interactive Mirror
Interactive Mirror from Alpay Kasal on Vimeo.
In an effort to dive deeper into HCI (Human Computer Interaction) by hacking together parts easily acquired, I set out to build something especially "non-computery" - introducing the Interactive Mirror. On paper, this construction looked like it'd be novel and fun. I was pleasantly surprised to see it was way more fun than expected once I fired it up.Blog.LitStudios.com

KDE on Windows/Installation
Projects/KDE on Windows/Installation - KDE TechBase![]()
You can use this installer to download and install the various binary packages that you need to run KDE applications on MS Windows. KDE is free and open source so you can build all the applications "from scratch" from their source code; but as a convenience for others, volunteers create these precompiled packages and make them available on the Internet.
I had heard about this but I didn't know it was active. Can't wait to run Amarok on my work computer!

"A la peanut butter sandwiches!" - The muppets have a wiki
The other day someone was saying the sentence, "I'll send that to you" but paused on "I'll" and it sounded like, "a la". And my first reaction was to say "A la peanut butter sandwiches!" Then I asked him, who used to say say that? One internet search later I had my answer and found out the Muppets have a wiki too.
The Amazing Mumford - Muppet Wiki![]()
The Amazing Mumford is a talented magician, but his magic tricks sometimes go awry. His characteristic magic words are "A la peanut butter sandwiches!" After saying this, there is a puff of smoke usually accompanied by either a "poof" noise or magical tinkling sounds, and then after clearing, it reveals how the trick has gone wrong.Grover often appears as Mumford's over-eager assistant.

Quite Possibly The Best Home Movie Ever
Even on a modern editing system, this would be a very complex project. Sid had something better at his disposal than a computer, a tape recorder, or a 16mm camera... He had his wits.MultiframeThe rewards for "Multiple Sidosis" stretch beyond scholarly infamy, and it's more than just a cult oddity. In 2000 the film was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation as being culturally significant (the same year as "Apocalypse Now" & "Shaft"). Better still - Sid can enjoy his notoriety in person. He just celebrated his 100th birthday, and he's still creating films.Hi-Fi Audio - Retro Thing

60's bands Inspired By Batman the TV series
60sgaragebands.com![]()
In 1966, it was a regular occurrence for a rock or pop star to make a guest appearance on the popular (and even forgotten) television series’ of the day (check out our Cameos section for further proof). Batman was no exception, and through the course of its three-year run, the program featured such disparate musical acts as Liberace, Leslie Gore, Chad & Jeremy, Johnny & The Greenmen, and the great Paul Revere & The Raiders. On the contrary, the popular (and even forgotten!) musical acts of the day tried to capitalize on the show’s meteoric success by recording songs inspired by the program, whether they be parodies, tributes, or ditties aimed at a young audience.

gTalk now has voice and video chat
About voice and video chat - Help Center![]()
Since sometimes reading "lol" doesn't deliver the same punch as actually hearing your friend laugh at your jokes, you can now use voice and video capabilities in your Gmail chat. From within Gmail, you can have an actual conversation with someone (seriously, out loud), or even chat face to face over video.
It doesn't say if it works in linux or mac though. Guess I'll find out soon enough
