Laptop Ninja
A blog FOR Laptop Ninjas, not about them. A Laptop Ninja is a cousin of the more common Web Ronin. As a solitary figure who's skills with computer technology and design, the Laptop Ninja survives by performing contract work from cafes, public parks, and sometimes rooftops. The Laptop Ninja's sword is his 802.11 connection, his iPod his throwing stars, and his Bluetooth cellphone his Nunchucks. All of which are usually carried in a discreet messenger bag.

Human Power
The "Notions of Expenditure" site is about using human power for good rather than just wasting it. At gyms everywhere people are expending energy that goes nowhere. What if that energy could be harnessed and used for good?

I'm all for it, perhaps one day my shoes could harness the compression forces of walking to charge my iPod.

edit: Apparently this dream is already a reality.

Transformers the Movie, the Good and the Bad
The Good: CNN is reporting that Dreamworks is producing a Transformers movie with a scheduled release date of November 17th, 2006. It'll be live action/cg I assume.

The Bad: The same person who brought you festering piles of crap like "Pearl Harbour" and "Armageddon", Michael Bay, is going to direct it. We can only hope that it's more like 'Bad Boys' than 'Bad Boys 2'.
