Meet Foodzie.

It’s like Etsy for food.

The difference is that improperly-made products at Etsy won’t kill you.

People of the Park documents with photos some of the most horribly dressed or frighteningly-presented people ever to set foot in Disneyland. “Fashionably challenged” they say.

It’s the spiritual successor to the equally excellent People of Wal Mart.

This commercial cracks me up.

I expect Move and Microsoft’s Natal will both be successful, but I personally just don’t see the appeal.

The Wii has shown me that moving anything more than your fingers around for an extended period of time makes for an un-fun and tiring video game playing experience.

I do like the ‘no controller’ approach from Microsoft though. Waving your hands around instead of yet another peripheral is definitely the cleaner way to do things.

We’ll see how things shake out. Hurr.

I’ve not dipped my toes into the Chat Roulette pool, but with a 13% pervert rate, I doubt I ever will.

Watching PianoChatImprov makes it fun though.

My house was built in an era before structured wiring had made its way to residential applications, so I don’t have any one central panel I can access to make changes to my network or TV situation. All I can do is dream and enviously admire photos like this one:

I could pay someone a few hundred (thousand?) dollars to fish miles of new wiring through my walls, but that seems like a lot of trouble for not a lot of benefit.  My house is so small that I don’t even think an access panel would fit anywhere hideable.

I’ve got no cat5/6 running through my walls, just three lines of RG6 to serve the whole house, and four phone jacks floating around in inconvenient places.  I’m practically living in the dark ages!

We’re in the process of losing an office and gaining a baby room and that means that the DSL modem, router, computer, Vonage box, and printer all needed to be relocated to the dining room.  There’s no phone jack for the DSL in the dining room so I had to get creative.

I’ve been running devices in my home theater off of a HomePlug AV device for a year or so and it’s worked pretty well, so I decided to ramp up the whole operation.

Every device on my network is now connected over power lines and it works great.  My router feeds the whole network with a single XAV101 adapter. I’ve got another one in the garage hooked up to an old NAS, one XAV1004 switch hooked up to the home theater, and another XAV1004 hooked up to the PC/printer/Vonage. In a perfect house with perfect wiring HomePlugAV devices would connect at 200Mbps, but I usually see numbers closer to 100 – plenty for doing just about anything.

I was lucky enough to be a beta tester for all but one of these devices so all told it only cost me about $90 to finish off the last mile. It’s way faster and more dependable than wireless B or G, not susceptible to wireless interference, and the upcoming HomePlug AV2 standard will match wireless N’s 600Mbit/s speeds.

So yeah, ethernet over powerlines works great. When wireless won’t reach where you need it to or just isn’t fast enough, give HomePlug AV a try!

I really enjoy True Lemon.

It’s just crystallized lemon in a packet. It’s all-natural with no calories, no carbs, and no sweeteners added. I’ve started adding it to the canteen of water that I keep on my desk.

It’s amazing how much it tastes like real lemon…because it is real lemon.

The same company also makes a few other products: True Lime, True Orange, and a version of True Lemon sweetened with Stevia.

If you can’t find True Lemon at the grocery store, you can also buy it at TrueLemonStore.com.

I bet this would go great in cocktails too, though I’ve never tried.
