Why Not.net is another take on Lazy Web, but not so specifically after software oriented ideas. The site is subtitled, "How to Use Everyday Ingenuity to Solve Problems Big and Small" and based on the book of the same name by two Yale professors. Call it open source inventing or idea arbitrage, but most of the content reminds me more of Michael Keaton's character in Night Shift - idea! feed the tuna the mayonaise - than actual useful stuff. I don't know if we really need a pee alarm for dogs, but I guess I can get behind cup holders in airline seats.   .:

I’m sure it’s been blogged all over, but I’ll add my $.02 to say takagism is a surprisingly engaging time waster. Reminds me of the first text-based puzzle games I ever played (on an Apple II) – except this one, I solved. Thanks Alex.   .:

Alex (who still doesn't have a blog) points me to this absurdity. Kids today. I love this quote though: “The way sex is talked about, it’s so casual, like it’s an everyday thing, like going to McDonald’s,” said Millis, 17. I think in (Melissa) Millis school, “going to McDonalds” is about to become new euphemism for getting some. Are you guys going to McDonalds tomorrow night? I’m taking the girls to McDonalds tonight. Dude you wouldn’t believe what I ate at McDonalds last night (ok, taking it too far). Like, I am so sick of going to McDonalds with him, boor-ing.

Charles says - I’m thinking that the dudes in the picture don’t need to really work that hard to stay “pure”.   .:

If you are a calender intense person and you use Outlook, check out Datelens, cool (free) add-in for Outlook developed at the Univeristy of Maryland and Microsoft Research. Watch the short movie to really get it.   .:
