Boing Boing: Cthulhoid casemod: “This lovingly detailed Lovecraft-inspired casemod is great — it’s the Necronomicase!”

I’m not sure I’d want my computer to have glowing eyes.

smitten: and now i’m blind.: “For my four-year anniversary in La Grande Pomme, a man with black sunglasses, some wrinkled plastic bags, and apparently a red sock sat down across from C and I on the subway last night, slid his hand underneath the clutter on his lap and pulled on the red sock.”

Not especially practical, but apparantly this is how they were passing the time in Microsoft back in 1995.

funkypancake: traffic jam toilet conundrum: “you then wait patiently and hope that the matter in question is just liquid”

Ew. I don’t think there is a good answer to that situation.
