How to Retire an Andy | eHow.com : Start out each day by dialing for a businesslike and professional attitude on your Penfield. Always review your poop sheets. Keep informed about the newest model of android, and what they're capable of. Never laser a human by mistake. Never become emotionally or romantically involved with an andy. It's illegal and you may develop empathic feelings for it. Thanks, TimX; I'm particularly enjoying the glib tone of "Things you'll need"...

My friend, Chris Sturgill has a real paper-and-ink comic coming out: egg . It looks good, so buy a copy. Chris was a fantastic artist on my Joust remake team at Midway Games West (old Atari: holler out, yo.), and is currently avoiding me on Xbox Live for projects like this. ;-)

ASUS | Eee PC : I'm seriously thinking about getting one of these for email/web use around the house. My wife loves the little Panasonic Let's Note r4 which work provided to me, but it's work's machine, not mine -- and by extension "not hers." Do any of you have an opinion on these little buggers, or suggestion of alternatives for similar functionality?

UFC 2009 Undisputed - Our game's official site has gone live; there's a video of the Las Vegas event at which it was played. You can even see a shot of one of the team being coached by Rampage Jackson!

Punch, punch lines make Rampage a star - MMA - Yahoo! Sports : Regardless of its origin, Rampage will wear his chain – a new one, he’s not sure what happen to that old one – Saturday when he enters the octagon to defend his title against Forrest Griffin at a sold out Mandalay Bay Events Center. The sports books have him as the heavy favorite. He may even wind up wearing the chain in Hollywood if, as rumor has it, he takes the role of another famous chain-wearing badass in succeeding Mr. T as B.A. Baracus in a remake of “The A-Team.” Whether he gets the part or not – “After this fight, I find out” – America should see a great deal of Rampage in the months to come. He’s the ultimate combination of devastating fighter and oversized fun, perhaps the only man in the world capable of headlining a UFC pay-per-view card and a Vegas comedy show." “I spent about $8,000 on extra tickets because everybody watched me on ‘Ultimate Fighter,’–” he said. “I’ve got uncles and aunts like 80 years ol

emot -o- cats （´∀｀）　and （　´Д｀　） These guys are called モナー (monar), and I am assuming the origin of this word comes from 「お前もな」. There's a lot of 2 chan lingo, and 「お前もな」 is just one of them. Another 2 chan lingo that I know is 厨房 (chu bo), which means kitchen, but it actually means 中坊 (chu bo), a middle school boy (beginner). A lot of Japanese engineers and otaku's are VERY familiar with these 2 chan lingo. Try 逝ってよし (itteyoshi) to your fellow Japanese engineer colleague, when you want to criticize someone.

Japan has similar "mac vs pc" advertisements, but instead of John Hodgman and the geek from Dodgeball, we get The Rahmens and Miki Nakatani.

Pixel: Photoshop for the Linux Crowd | Compiler from Wired.com : "Linux users unhappy with the GIMP image editor may want to take a look at Pixel, a cross platform image editing application, which more closely mirrors the behavior of Adobe Photoshop. Although Pixel isn't free in either sense of the word — a licensed copy will set you back $38 USD and the source is not available — in terms of ease-of-use Pixel trumps the Gimp on a number of levels."
