Nikko\'s nerdtacular Star Wars R2-D2 gear

...The R2-D2 DVD Projector is a 480p home-theater projector that looks just like the beloved robot. The 20-inch-tall projector features built-in speakers, an iPod dock, a memory card slot, and even an FM transmitter to broadcast audio around the house. Best of all, the projector moves just like R2-D2. Using a Millenium Falcon-shaped remote control, the projector can be piloted around the home with its three-wheeled legs. Built-in safety sensors help prevent the droid from taking spills or bumping into objects. Most importantly, it sounds just like R2-D2, with 11 different beeps, boops, and whistles randomly playing when it's in motion....

...The R2-D2 Wireless Web Camera is a similar geek-worthy marvel. The tiny Webcam is just over half a foot tall and communicates wirelessly with its computer. The wireless aspect is important, because the R2-D2 Webcam can roll around just like its big brother. Since it's networked, you can actually log in to the Webcam while you're out and pilot it around your house, using R2-D2 as your own personal spy-droid. Like the projector, the Webcam has built-in sensors to help prevent crashes and falls...

So awesome, it seems the word awesome was invented just to describe these nigh useless gadgets. Still awesome, though. Now, Nikko? Whip up a 1080p one and I'm all ears.

»Office For Mac shapes up for 2008

Said By CNet News
Office 2008 for Mac, as the product is being dubbed, is a universal binary, the company said Tuesday. That means the software runs both on Macs with Intel chips and on those with PowerPC chips. In addition, it is compatible with the new XML file formats used by Office 2007 for Windows, which hits retail shelves this month.

Linky.
I certainly like how Microsoft is putting effort towards making Office 2008 compatible with both Power PC and Intel based Macs. It shows a level of caring Microsoft usually doesn't show (in that they would normally just support the newest whatever, forcing people to upgrade).

»Apple Unveils It\'s Cellular Prodigy

At the Macworld conference Apple finally gave truth to all of the rumors. The "iPhone" really does exist. The "iPhone", though Cisco legally owns the name, will debut with two models (4Gb and 8Gb). Though I'm sure the phone is very nice, it's a little expensive ($499-$599). Cingular will be the exclusive service provider (2-year contract required).

Quote
"Jobs called the phone a widescreen iPod, Internet communicator and mobile phone in one. The phone is thinner than a Motorola Q and features no physical buttons. Instead, it employs a revolutionary touch-screen interface that intelligently changes depending upon what a user selects. The Apple leader indicated that the company set out to develop a smart phone that would make today's current smart phones look dumb."

Of course, it will run OSX and much of the same software and widgets. It will also have GSM/EDGE Wi-Fi capabilities. Now, while you are reading this, I'll be purchasing some Cingular shares.

I've never had Quiznos either. I've wanted to go, never really had the opportunity. They had some sort of beef sandwich I wanted to try but I can't recall it's name at the moment

My sister says that they have the best vegetarian sandwich there

Well the man certainly has potential as far as getting back to a normal weight. After all he used to win contests with his physique so to expect a bit of exercise doesn't seem totally unreasonable. All it is a question of really is whether or not he will choose to commit himself or not.
