Letterman Makes The Point

By , September 16, 2008 6:25 pm

I realize these clips are old, but I only just stumbled upon them today. I’ve caught a few of the Late Show episodes over the years and love the top ten list, but I’ve not really been a follower of it.

In these clips, David Letterman makes some very good points about the USA’s invasion of Iraq, and boils it down to what it’s all really about. Oil. It’s definately worth watching the whole thing.

XP Goes To The Dark Side

In case you weren’t aware – there’s a free download from Microsoft that allows you to change your interface to a snazzy dark grey theme.

You can download it at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=75078.

The screenshot I’ve included shows the theme after installation on my system. The background is not included with the theme, I found that one at http://wallpapers.jurko.net/pic/9005/. I’ve got a calculator window open as well as the start menu with a hilighted item and tooltip showing the general color scheme of things.

LumiGram in France has come up with some pretty cool fiber optic fabrics. Clothes, table cloths, bags and pillows are lit up with battery powered LED’s running through fiber optics woven into the fabric.

Naturally, this means that all their products need to be carefully hand-washed and can only be folded parallel to the optics to prevent damage. I think this explains why the clothing seems to be oriented towards females since most of their clothes requires special care anyways. Still, I really like the light-up table cloth they have.
