Got an extra US $10 million? Then you can buy a man-made island in a new real estate project being built off the coast of the United Arab Emirates.
It’s called the World, because the islands are grouped together so that the whole things looks like a map of the world. The World will consist of between 250 to 300 smaller private artifical islands divided into four categories - private homes, estate homes, dream resorts, and community islands. Each island will range from 250,000 to 900,000 square feet in size, with 50 to 100 metres of water between each island.

It’s great that there seem to be quite a few people out there with
lots of time to spend on their hobbies/obsessions. Here’s someone who
put together a detailed map of Springfield (the Simpsons’ hometown).
This is part of his website on Springfield.

So what good is running a mailing list (or a blog) if I can’t plug my own stuff, eh?!
Doug (a friend I work with at ISX) and I recently built an info/review/community website that focuses on the latest gadgets, gizmos and toys.
We launched the site today and are now in a beta-testing phase. You special folks on my mailing list get to be part of the elite first-view audience. (Do you like how I’m laying on the compliments?!)
We would really appreciate it you can take a few minutes to register, log in, take a look around and give us some feedback. You can e-mail us at feedback@gizmosforgeeks.com.
And without further ado, here’s the site:

Ok, there really isn’t a commercial to be aired for Linux during the next Superbowl, but this writer got to thinking about what such a commercial would be like. The cool thing here is all of the follow-on ideas that were generated by the readers. Some of them are pretty funny, and when you think about it, many of them would make really good ads. (See, you don’t need to be in Advertising to come up with this stuff, just a decent imagination).

In defense of myself, someone sent this to me, so it wasn’t like I was surfing aimlessly! Not to mention that I’m right now staring at a screen watching OS patches being installed rather slowly.
Anyway, check out the Jar-Jar-gonizer. (can you really have too much of Jar-Jar? mee-sa think not)
