Want to play 20 Questions with a computer? Do it. It’s almost scary how good it is at guessing whatever it was you’re thinking of.

I seriously think that HP should give their printers away free. They’ve got a monopoly on the ink cartridge market already, and they’d just be getting more new customers. I had to buy an ink cartridge last weekend and I practically shit my pants when I saw I’d need to spend a little more than…
I got my hands on a copy of the Trillian 2.0 Beta2 today. Unfortunately, the only thing that I was looking forward to – Jabber support – doesn’t work. It just won’t let you add a Jabber connection, no matter what you name it. They’ll fix it before the public beta though, I’m sure. Still…

There’s a fully scanned Gutenberg Bible online. Pretty cool!
