The above link is to a Story on PC Modders and German computer cabinet maker Nicholas Schmidt and some of their gems they have made?

Then there were these guys from the Austin Modders club..
Most people think that Oswald did the dirty deed on Nov 22 1963, when in reality he was framed by a representitive of the Dreaded Cat Lobby. The DLC agenda included wiping out all the heads of state in the world, throwing human civilization into complete disaray, and taking control of their destiny and catboxes… The cat sniper agent X drug Oswalds unconscous body up into the book depository building, and after the deed was done woke him up. Confused, Oswald looked around and assumed he was a victim of mind control or something and tried to escape. He assumed he was guilty, and confessed…
After the DLC’s first victory, they all got together and had a big party, after which they all fell asleep and promptly forgot about taking over the world….
The End. greg
Ever miss a show that you just have to see… you missed Men in Trees because your husband taped over it or the electricity went out? Not any longer…
I noticed that NBC and ABC are streaming their popular shows over the web for a week after they’ve aired. Free. The downside is you have to sit in front of a computer to watch it… and my 1.5mb download speed limits the size of the picture somewhat. But, things will only get better, right? If this trend keeps up, download speeds will get faster, more channels will be streaming their already aired content, and I can get rid of my cable and watch day old stuff for free!
I’m going to need more chairs for my office…greg
Just when you think you’ll never be able to afford a college education, along comes MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and turns all that on it’s head. Mit and it’s Open Courseware project aims to get all it’s courses, including video and audio of lectures, on the web by 2008, and of course, free! I sat thru an electronics lecture last saturday, and it was an eye opening experience.
Sadly this is not a degree program, and you don’t have access to faculty, but what you do have access to is knowledge. This takes libraries to a whole new level. They have a mission statement to the effect that they want to share their knowledge with the world… Just sharing it with me is ok!, but I guess we should include the rest of the world also.

Not only that, but several other institutions are following suit with their own versions of this very same thing… Ck out Berkeley at:

Well, gotta catch up on my Byzantine history… Greg
I’m sorry Bill, but cats do rule the world…
I’ll just use 2 cats that I know of for an example…we’ll call them linky and mai mai to protect their identity…
1. These cats have never been cold… their environment is kept at 68 degrees year round.
2. They have never worked a day in their life.
3. They get fed more regularly than I do..
4. They are entertained nightly by their human protectors with a lazer pointer.
5. They have comfy places to sleep all day and night.
6. One of the humans they own has a concealed carry permit and enough guns to hold off a small south american country to protect them.
So in light of the facts.. you see cats do rule the world… sad but true.
Greg
