This time he talks!

And to think, I tried to make my own this weekend! This is awesome/necessary.

The Brooklyn Library says it's cheaper to give free Netflix than stock all 60 branches. Sounds great to me!

It isn't amazing, but I'm pointing it out because I saw it well before I saw the parody on this week's SNL. Did SNL steal it? Probably not, as there aren't a ton of views, but I thought I'd give them credit.

Of the four films showing, I've set the Tivo to record Le Jour Se Leve and The Killing [via Dangerous Universe]

Freakonomics mastermind Steven Levitt noticed a local restaurant used two names for the same item on different menus. This, and Danny Meyer's relentless efforts to improve Shake Shack, reminds me that fine-tuning the details makes all the difference.

Cooks foods 80% faster (12 lb. turkey in 42 minutes) than a traditional oven with columns of super-heated air and microwaves. Downside: It costs about $7,500.

"GRANDMOTHER: Did you see the politics? It made me angry. DAD: Me, too. When it was over, I had sex. UNCLE: I'm having sex right now. DAD: We all are." [via waxy]

My friend Rick asks the tough question but he can only come up with one, The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Don't know why I'm so curious, but comment on his entry if you have any other examples.

Man Uses solar and hydrogen energy technologies to create all of his own energy. I can't wait until the day when we all are carbon neutral and energy independent.

Considering the amount of money spent on engineering, it makes sense that these are so cool [via boing boing]

GrandCentral.com gives you one phone number that rings all your numbers at once. Best feature? At the beginning of each call you hear, "Press 1 to accept, 2 to send to voice mail, 3 to listen in on voice mail, or 4 to accept and record the call." That's just the beginning.

Ridiculous. It'd be cheaper to get a membership at Costco AND get the drugs.

There's a small plug in the side that you remove when it's not in use.

As someone who enjoys challenges like this (seven movies in a day!), this was a ton of fun to read [via kottke]

It's Friday.

Collaborative game that looks like so much fun. Unfortunately, I may have to find someone with a PS3 and buy this for them as it's not (quite) worth $700 to play this.

As of today, only if you sell your Linden dollars (or whatever) for recognized currency is it taxable, but as these virtual worlds get bigger it will open a monstrous can of worms.

"Inside, each apartment features a dining room with a grainy, surfaced floor that slopes erratically, a sunken kitchen and a study with a concave floor. Electric switches are located in unexpected places on the walls so you have to feel around for the right one. A glass door to the veranda is so small you have to bend to crawl out. You constantly lose balance and gather yourself up, grab onto a column and occasionally trip and fall." [via Caterina]

"It is misleading for a letter, or for any graphic symbol, to have two different designs. Confusion might set in when school children are taught to recognize words even before they have learned to recognize different symbols for the same letter."
