Lenovo’s sexy new concept netbook – the Pocket Yoga

All I can say about this new concept netbook from Lenovo is WOW.  What you’re looking at is a convertible touchscreen tablet/netbook hybrid device with a nicely space keyboard, presumably packing an Atom chipset, all wrapped in sexy orange leather. Its ultra compact form factor means it might actually be pocketable, hence its name ‘Pocket Yoga’.  Lenovo – please follow through on this one!  Pics and link below-

My new-new netbook: Lenovo S10

So after hours of failure in getting OS X to run on my Asus EEE 1000HE, I gave up and went and picked up this sexy little number – the Lenovo S10 netbook.  Although it doesn’t have that massive 9.5 hour battery of the 1000HE, it is way lighter, thinner, and overall sexier.  Plus it’s proven to work with OS X.  So here goes nothin’

Deloreans are still hot!

Just spotted parked outside my office building. Looks brand new!  Backkkk to the Fuuuuture!

Apartment fire on my block! Melted PS3′s and saved lives

This @#$% is crazy! A huge fire on the top floor of an apt building on my street is majorly on fire right now.  The whole East Village is full of smoke, people running  both away from and toward the scene. The sound of falling glass from the apts above inexplicably made me bring out my phone; I managed to shoot some live Qik videos of the carnage.  Guys on top of 5 story tall ladders breaking out windows so people inside can grab on and climb down the ladder.  Don’t judge till u watch them all –> here:  http://www.qik.com/selectroclash

Windows 7 on my Samsung Q1 Ultra UMPC

Since I was on a OS-upgrading roll today I went ahead and dropped Windows 7 onto my Samsung Q1 Ultra UMPC.  Suprisingly all the drivers worked out of the box including the touchscreen, wifi, both cameras, bluetooth, and graphics!

My new netbook: Asus EEE 1000HE

Atom chip, wirelessN, 160gb HD, and that lustworthy 9.5 hour battery!

Can’t wait to put OS X on this bad boy!

Asus EEE Keyboard shoves an entire media center PC under your palms

This is awesome – Asus as managed to cram an entire home theater PC into your keyboard. Complete with a 5″ LCD touchpad to control things, it’s packing a Atom chip, HDMI & VGA out, Wireless-N, and looks sexy to boot. To think a few years ago a HTPC took up your entire entertainment center .

The (LOL?) Cat Bong

This was just too good to pass up….

A homemade bong, consisting of a piece of garden hose attached to a duct-taped plexiglas box, is seen in this March 1, 2009, handout photo provided by the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Dept. Deputies responding Sunday, March 1, 2009, to a domestic disturbance call at a Lincoln, Neb., area residence, cited a 20-year-old man on suspicion of animal cruelty after catching him smoking marijuana from the contraption that had Shadow, a six-month-old female cat, stuffed inside its 12-inch by 6-inch base. The man told deputies the cat had been acting hyper and that he was trying to calm her down.
