Alrighty, I want to a little experiment with you and I hope you’ll help me out. We all know there are a lot of sites out there that have a lot of social aspects that a lot of people use every day like Digg, Last.fm and Pownce. While these services are great on their own, there’s one thing I’ve noticed I find lacking about them. Each one lets you tag, favorite and post messages, but all of these things are segregated to each of these individual sites. Today however I found a site that offers a service that allows me to have everything I do on these other services show up on one central site and RSS feed. the interesting thing about this is that now that I know there’s a central place all these things will appear, I’m more inclined to use these social features of these sites. I’m adding favorite songs using Last.fm, digging more stories on Digg and just using these features more in general. The reason I do this is because a lot of my friends don’t have accounts with each of these services to see what I’m doing and let’s be honest, registering for 10 sites just to see what someone is doing takes a lot of time and pushes a person’s email out to people that they may not want having their email addresses. So my question is this, if you knew all these things were in a central place anyone that knows you can see them from would you, like myself use these features more?

Luke’s Aunt and Uncle weren’t as crazy as they seemed it looks like. Most geeks out there (or at least Star Wars nerds) will remember that Cliegg Lars and his wife Shmi - along with his son Owen and Owen’s wife Beru - maintained a moisture farm on Tatooine. Well, it looks like that is a bit more of a reality now.

Element Four, a group of Canadian eco-inventors, has invented a machine that is able to extract moisture from the air and turn it into drinkable water. This may sound like it could be a machine that wouldn’t work for most people in most homes, but it actually only uses the same amount of electricity as running 3 light bulbs. What if I live in the middle of a polluted city? No worries! The machine is able to purify even the nastiest city air into tasty, clean water.

The WaterMill is able to pull the moisture from the air, run it through various filters to clean out any dust, pollution and any other harmful particles and spit water out for you for merely three to four cents per liter. Who needs to pay $1.39 for that Aquafina when you can just suck it out of the air?

The WaterMill goes for about $1200, but if you think about how much money you may pay to filter the water you have now or buy the insanely expensive bottled water, this unit could easily pay for itself.

Moisture farming will never be the same again.

Well, what’cha think? Did I get it right?

I hope none of you will mind me bringing up politics one last time. Yes World, it’s morning again in the United States. Today history was made as Barack Obama won the US Presidency and will become the first black president of our Nation. I can’t tell you how much concern, worry and fear for our future as a country I don’t have to feel anymore. His speech afterward almost made me break into tears.

And to prove this is history in the making, I’d like to remind you who the man breaking down in tears in this video is. This is Rev. Jesse Jackson. This man saw Martin Luther King Jr. assassinated in person. This man also ran for president in 1984 and again in 1988 and lost. You now see this man completely break down to see a black man elected as US President and showing that this is truly a free nation.

So… those of you that wondered what the hell this site is are about to get a history lesson. The reason I feel I need to do this is mostly because I noticed that the majority of all the posts I’m putting up seem to be Cool Stuff posts full of lulz vids. Seeing this, I need to reflect on what this site is and where I want to take it.

I really wish we’d been able to cover Wipeout XL on our podcast before we had to end it. That game’s been a sinful love of mine since the late 90’s back on the PS1. Anyways, I digress…

It looks like the PSN version will be hitting the internets on September 25th for a measly $20. For that $20 you get 8 tracks, 38 trophies, 1080p gameplay @ 60 fps… I have to admit I’m a little damp… Piranha Team FTW!!!

That’s right bitches!!

And this time, permanently. No, it wasn’t an issue regarding spam bots like last time… something broke in the app that just made me realize how fickle phpBB really is, so I decided to just delete the whole thing. Although this won’t affect anyone but Myself, Earl and a close friend that actually created an account there thinking people would want to talk about classic games and such. That wasn’t the case.

So I’ve been hard at work (well, at least hard at work for the time I could spare) putting together Emulator threads in the Classic Gaming section of the Forum. Please feel free to check em out! Great info including Emulator downloads hosted here and screenshots I made myself. If you think I’ve missed some, and I did intentionally, POST EM!
