with temps in the 90s all week, we can only assume two things:
1. we will be having ungodly lazy afternoons
2. we’ll be grillin’ links alllll week. nice and deliciously.

i’m starting off with something not really hack-related (oooh god forbid) but interesting. it’s a movie based on google becoming a huge-ass conglomorate and wiping out media. very cool and post-apocalyptic kind of feel to it. watch it here and thanks [toto]

now onto some beastly links!

add an auxilary jack to your car [matt]
google maps wallpaper (whatever, doesn’t top my hilary duff wp)
open systems for car computers? oooh, i smell innovation and trouble.

looks like we got ourselves a trend going! more wallpaper from [jamie] and [blackzero]
god, i might have to make this a weekly segment on mondays or something!

uhhh, robot paintball? is it really necessary? [magnus]
dvorak says apple moving to intel will harm linux. nobody gives a shit. stop whining!
…though he could be right.

::sigh::

well good morning hackaday readers. it’s monday. we’re all back at the office/classroom/jailcell so we know you are dying to get a few good tidbits of information in before you start having to work.

got a cat? maybe, maybe not. either way, this guy has a facial recognition door for his cat. insane eh? very cool though. maybe he should use it for humans.

Also, in other tech and hackery news, there’s still some major concerns over google’s way of storing your information and preferences. I can see a cause for concern but whatever, get over it. Not only that, but it’s true that last week South Korean hackers 0wn3d microsoft’s msn site and planted a password stealer. Very nice work.

Also, a new internet possible? I scoff at the idea, but embrace it at the same time. This time, it’s based on RFID tags.

Slashdot also had a cute little link to howto build your own linux distro. hackaday linux? vince linux? sendustodefconthisyear linux? hmmm, maybe. depends how big of a fan of work you are.

This is really cool in ways. A Judge threw out a dude’s DUI charge because he could not provide the man with information on how the breathalyzer works. The company wasn’t too big on giving their information to the state. A new legal defense? maybe. I think we need more open-source things from everything to code to information. Demand it to be public!

And one guy is selling every issue of WIRED on eBay. Does anyone care? Mmmm.

Also, a monday morning wouldn’t be complete without fun tidbits right? So here’s a picture for you to gander at: Pete Cabrinha riding a 70ft wave. The largest ever. Jesus God I’d be scared.

And may I reccoment a good site to visit? PWOT is packed with humor to the first degree. Tons of content and the forum is nice. I highly reccomend it during work or free time.

Now go brush up on Aristotle and enjoy your monday. Hopefully by now it’s a bit better. fool.

firefox is coming to second life. as if that game couldn’t get any more insane.
