Thankfully, you will always be able to read THIS for free ... [www.fredfacker.blogspot.com] ... oh, and also Gizmodo.

How about some for those who wear glasses that just clip on and flip up. lol

@ME-4 12: I don't know about a real sword, but we found you can hold things in your hands to extend your arms to cheat at the discus in Kinect Sports.

@johnshealy: That's what I'm hoping for. I want a Kinect game where I can swing a sword and chop people up.

@SKiTz: Hahaha. That's scary. It's like one of those baby-morph photos.

If you're setting up a new computer, spend the money to get dual HDDs and run RAID 1. There's no backup worries because it creates redundant drives.

Does Tai Chi call for your footrests and push-up grips to be different heights from side to side? Seems like you'd want them the same height. Plus, from the photos, this thing looks like it would flex and wobble like crazy.

For $20, I could get a case of beer and water the flower periodically all afternoon for free.

@dfp3050: That is true ... if you're in a quiet environment. Right now it just needs to be loud enough to be heard over ambient noise.

Hockney never claimed they were good drawings. He said they were just compiled from doodles he'd make and email to his friends. He's not even selling these. He just views them as transient art that only exists when the power is turned on. There was a good interview about it before the show opened a few weeks ago on…

My dog doesn't piss on the carpet ... most of the time.

I wonder what settings they used. I'm torn between a very large lens specifically for my Nikon or to go with a Leica spotting scope that I could use with several cameras. I can't decide which is better. How about an article on the pros and cons of spotting scopes versus dedicated lenses?

Does he call it, The Leprechaun Trap?

I think I'd rather run LED rope lights under the eaves. Wouldn't be quite the same effect, but they wouldn't be visible, and you'd get a cool glow.

@OMG! British Dinosaur!: It did ruin my day because being reminded that Magic: The Gathering still exists and that people still put value on those stupid little cards makes me die inside. Happy holidays.

This iteration of 3DTV equates to the laser disc. I'll wait.

@bazookafox: Ahhh, I'm picking it up on Gizmodo. I'm just thankful it's not in 3D.

And the gadget/tech connection to this non-story is what?

I'm too lazy for gyms. I can't get motivated to even change clothes after work much less leave the house. I usually just elliptical in my slacks while watching NCIS.
