I've been waiting for this one a long time. Now you can view PDF documents inside the Firefox 3 window. The old solution, Schubert's PDF plugin, works with PowerPC machines only.

Rex The Dog: New Album Coming 9/1/08 
Saturday, August 2, 2008, 03:15 PM - Raves
Rex The Dog, one of my favorite remixers has a new album coming on September 1, 2008. To promote, he's drawn a sweet comic strip to tell you all about it.


I especially *love* the drawing of Depeche Mode and Yazoo.

Take a look at this picture of a post-accident MINI Cooper. The car ended up on it's roof after unknown circumstances. Apparently all occupants walked away. Who says that small can't be safe too?

Here's a link to a great PDF document from a Purdue University professor. It details how to connect certain sensors such as different switches, serial communication and analog sensors to an Arduino board. Highly informative reading.

I don't know why, but this video cracks me up on a consistent basis so I thought I'd share it. I love the song, and Rex The Dog's style (check out the remix he did of Depeche Mode's Photographic). Maybe you'll get it too.
