Simply because this has been running on CNN all day and I find it absolutely fascinating that the individual driving survived.

Apparently unscathed.

Here’s the link to the YouTube video.

Even the Batman requires some respite every now and again…

The Yankee marketing machine is unstoppable. The Star Wars franchise is still incredibily popular and anything bearing a Star Wars character is sure to sell. We’ve had video games, towels, mugs and T-shirts, so why no shoes?

Adidas comes to the rescue with their 2010 range of Super Star footwear.

Obviously available only in very limited quantities and at an apparent USD 275 per pair these may not be everyone’s cup of tea. The packaging is certainly not worthy of such an expensive product.

Initially, it seems as though a Darth Vader and Yoda model will be available.

May your shoes be with you…

This recently showed up in the MacBook‘s AirPort list:

No fear: the Free Public WiFi network does not exist and is not accessible. It remains the great South African pipedream. Where the entry comes from, I have absolutely no idea…

Do not disconnect the creepy pipe…

To avoid even more costs and repairs, I suggest you keep your eggs safe…

Some gadgets seem adept at miracles. The nuvi 710 has taken a sabbatical of several hours, during which time no amount of coaxing could make it wake up. The screen remained blank, the power switch was powerless.

The sole help item the Garmin support site can dish up is to attempt a factory reset. That involves pressing a finger on the lower, right-hand corner of the display and then powering the unit on. Since my 710 had no inclination at all to power on, that was somewhat useless. Not even plugging it into the USB port of the MacBook or the car cradle helped. So I left it, assuming I’d be navigating without the aid of that annoying female voice.

This morning, I simply had to try switching the unit on again. Surprise, surprise. The battery seemed completely drained, but the welcome screen appeared. Plugging it into the USB port charged the battery. Twelve hours before, that simply did not happen. We’ve been to Yatala (don’t ask) and back, aided by the miracle of electronic navigation. From now on, the 710 will be codenamed Lazarus. I do hope it refrains from exhibiting its miraculous powers ever again…

…you might accidentally get killed!

The Vegemite is my greatest fear. It’s the truth, mate

This is the one that got away…

This guy’s driving certainly raised my ire…

Who’d a thought ready-made shelving could provide so much amusement?

Anti sleep ABS feets. A feature you will want on your next shelf…

And from the same author who brought us Braising Swiss we present Cooking Japanese.

The introduction warns against opening the pot until well after the screaming has stopped.
