This “word cloud” is an easily comprehensible overview of the words that have been used most often so far in this session of Congress. The bigger the word, the more frequently it has been spoken in the House and Senate:

This guy went all out on his Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) game controller coffee table. Very nice work my friend, I’d buy one if you sold them. Turns out you can even play your NES with the dang thing.

May 3, 2008 is Shutdown Day, you can do it. C’mon it’s on a Saturday too!
It is obvious that without computers we would find our life extremely difficult, maybe even impossible. If they disappeared for just one day, would we be able to cope?
Be part of one of the biggest global experiments ever to take place on the Internet. The idea behind Shutdown Day is to find out how many people can go without a computer for one whole day, and what will happen if we all participate!
Shutdown your computer on 03 May 2008 and find out!
What will you do instead of user your computer that day? If you are like me, your brain could use the rest.

Given that our Name is “Period Three”, which if you are a true geek understand it has “something” to do with Chaos Theory. Noticed the loss of Edward Lorenz, widely held accountable for creating Chaos Theory and from which comes the Period Three concept.
Edward Lorenz, an MIT meteorologist who tried to explain why it is so hard to make good weather forecasts and wound up unleashing a scientific revolution called chaos theory, died April 16 of cancer at his home in Cambridge. He was 90.

To all those who once owned an Evel Knievel stunt cycle (with or without the gyro launcher), please take a moment to remember the man who gave it all for the glory of the thrill. Evel was truly “extreme” before it was cool…
Evel Knievel, the daredevil motorcycle stuntman who made sensational jumps over cars and double-decker buses in the 1970s and broke dozens of bones in even more sensational crashes, has died. He was 69.

Everybody already knows about Kindle, or if you spend time on the internet you do. I’ll reserve my full judgment until I can actually hold one, not that I am anytime soon. I will have to say the initial idea is pretty far flung. Don’t get me wrong, the idea of an e-book reader isn’t new by any means, and after all Apple did reinvent the mp3 player industry by introducing the iPod. Check it out here and oh 37signals has their opinion too ().

This is truly sad. The bum who happens to own Halloween.com can’t even see fit to hire a design company to create a good looking site. This has to be one of the coolest domain names out there, and you could have so much fun with this website. What a waste…
