Yahoo! acquires del.icio.us
Yahoo has now bought del.icio.us, Flickr, and Konfabulator in the last year or so, three very cool apps. You have to give them credit for recognizing something big and forking over the cash to get it. I haven't noticed any issues with Flickr since their acquisition, let's hope they don't screw up del.icio.us either.

Logitech Harmony remote for Xbox 360
Pretty sweet, I've been kind of wishing for a Harmony remote for a while but it's a little useless. I think the simple remote included with the Xbox 360 plus the universal remote from the my receiver should do the job.
Update: Changed the link to a much better article from IGN.

Xbox 360 kiosk video walkthrough
I haven't been to Wal-Mart since I first looked for the Xbox 360 kiosks a couple of weeks ago, but this video shows just what I'm missing. A Microsoft intro to the kiosks, now all I need to do is actually play it.

Online Calendar Thingy
MyPIMP (it stands for My Personal Information Management Portal) is a open source free online calendar, tasks, and contacts system that I've been using for a little over a week now. So far it's looking pretty good, easy to use (if you're using a broswer other than Internet Explorer) and full of Ajax-y goodness. Very much still in beta and the groups feature (which I'm looking forward to) isn't active yet, but worth checking out.

Fruitcast - Podcast advertising
I don't have a podcast (though I listen to quite a few), but I'm not sure what I think about turning over that much control to them. It sounds like it makes everything a ton easier.

Playable Xbox 360's at Wal-Mart
They didn't have it here at the Wal-Mart near me (didn't look like they were setting up for it either) but some stores around the country have their display units up and going. Some movies and playable demos of Call of Duty 2, Kameo, and King Kong.
Get the complete Xbox 360 Premium Edition for free.

NES Micro
The Game Boy Micro is a dumb idea, this is much cooler. Ben Heckendorn created a tiny NES that's just slightly larger than the cartridge itself. Check out his other projects.

The iPod (with video)
Very sweet, something that size and with that much storage is perfect for video. It looks like I could save TV shows in Divx format on my PC (using my ATI All-In-Wonder) and transfer them right to the iPod, if it's not that easy then someone could create a simple conversion tool to do the job.
I'd never pay $2 per episode to Apple to watch television on the thing.

Honda unveils vehicle designed for dogs
I think Reesey is small enough we could almost just shove her into our existing glove compartment. Though I'm pretty sure she'd throw a fit if we tried to force her to sit anywhere other than my lap.
