Swearing mitigates pain

I always knew this was true. Over on boing boing, Cory tells us about a journal article that confirms what we’ve always known, swearing mitigates pain.

Khaan!!!

This cool video is from over on boing boing and is a 2 minute sample of a 15 minute video that contains the scene where Captain Kirk winds up to, and then screams out Khaan!.

Quite the trip.

Time to get some bing-age

For those that haven’t heard, Microsoft anounced it’s new search engine, bing.

Some of those links might be a little slow at the moment, but I’d give it some time. Working at ninemsn, I had the opportunity to get a sneak peak at the search engine and I must say I was impressed. For those eager clickers, be advised  the home page link is still showing a ‘coming soon’ for us Aussies atm.

The first thought that sprang to my mind when I heard the new name was, “I wonder if searching a term will now be called getting bing-age. Gamers in the aurdience will recall the term getting bink-age from the counter-strike days, which describes the sound made when you score (or receive) a head shot while wearing a helmet in counter-strike (a near fatal shot).

Let’s hope that bing-age earns it’s place in the search world (in terms of search accuracy/relevance) the same way bink-age applies in the gaming world.

Cardboard Box that can Boil Water

Over on boing boing, this post about an awesome invention that enables you to boil water in a cardboard box.

So this invention takes a cardboard box, paints the interior black, throws in some foil and acrylic and then harnesses the sun’s energy to create a cardboard oven.

I’m a PC

So I gave the slightly-too-small “I’m a PC Shirt” a try last night and got some photographic evidence.

Looks like I was right, an XL just won’t cut it, I needed a version in BH.

I'm a PC, but looks like a muscle-top.

Confused Mac and Yet-to-be-warn I’m a PC Shirt

So I got my “I’m a PC Shirt” in the mail today.

Not sure if the shirt will be large enough for me to wear (I’m bloody huge, did you know?), but I’ll give it a shot this Friday and post a photo of the result.

In the mean time, we were looking for things to do with the stickers, and decided that this photo of a confused mac was a whole lot more humurous than it was in real life:

Indie Mini-series using the Half Life 2 engine

Over on boing boing, this video was highlighted, as the first in a miniseries, the first two epsiodes of which cost just $500 to make. The cool thing about this is it’s being made using the Half Life 2 engine.
