If you haven't yet invested in an iPod dock for the kitchen , the kids at ADE (a German company that manufactures cooking equipment for commercial and home use) have something right up your alley. The Rihanna kitchen scale features an iPod dock, an LCD display, and a 2 watt speaker that sits demurely beneath glass weighing area. This bad boy will handle up to 11 pounds (graduated in .04 ounce steps)....

We have back to back games at home tonight against the Wild and then back to NJ against the Devils. The Devils are playing great and it is a shame that we will have played them two times in two weeks without the services of Alex Ovechkin. Or maybe Alex will play - one never ones - but I don’t [...]
Notes From the Shaolin Drunken Monk (Free subscription) | 11/13/2009
So we're back to checking the sampling treats offered up by the music gods from back in the day. We got some Rock and Soul this time around starting off with this little ditty here. Daryl Hall and John Oates had a string of hits in the late seventies and early eighties before fading into obscurity in the nineties. They dropped this tune in 1981 and it has been sampled extensively since by people like...
Friend and fellow blogger Double L has done it again. Noted for his fantastic reggae mixes and reggae blog he brings us a collection of hip-hop, reggae and R&B gems from the 1990's . Mix is real heavy and while the "party" vibe of the mix isn't realized here with me listening to it at my desk with two sleeping poodles* next to me, I assure you if you had the components of a party this...
(PhysOrg.com) -- A physics research team from the University of St Andrews and Cornell University in the USA has managed to 'photograph' the traces left by orbiting electrons in a special oxide material, and their observations could form the basis for the future of electronic technology.
Okay, here's round 4. The two albums listed below are probably 2 of my favorite hip-hop soundtracks. I have one more soundtrack post with another 2 great soundtracks and then I'm cashed on the soundtracks.Who’s the Man? – 1993One thing I remember when this movie came out is Siskel and Ebert giving it 2 thumbs up. They praised the chemistry of Ed and Dre and their writing skills and hoped...
L'Oreal ambassadors Eva Longoria, Andie MacDowell and Kate Del Castillo attend the ceremony celebrating L'Oreal's 100th anniversary with a star on The Hollywood Walk Of Fame on October 20, 2009 in Hollywood, California. [...]
You're not alone Together we stand I'll be by your side, you know I'll take your hand When it gets cold And it feels like the end There's no place to. [...]
Being a proud Technician myself, it was kind of dope to hear Tech N9ne graciously describe his thoughts on the mixed bag of fans that comprise his raucous shows to DJ Peter Parker. I’ve seen the Killa Clown decimate the stage three times now and every time it’s always the most random people who lean [...]
A dope writeup was found at the home of geniuses, Grand Good. Its an in-depth article on the history of B.I.G.’s “Biggie Smalls” moniker. I thought I knew the history but there seems to be a lot more to it. I also found it was a character in Pottier/Cosby movie sequel. Tupac fans will get [...]
I have started a photography evening course – specifically titled “ABC Level 3 Award in Digital Photo-Imaging” – at the Thames Valley University every week starting last week. After the first week introductions to the course, the facilities and our opportunity to ask questions and answer the teacher’s (Mike’s) questions we didn’t take any photos. After [...]...
Been ages since we did a retro chart, so here's the top 40 from 8th October 1994, because a) fifteen years ago was a very odd time for music and b) the top end demonstrates something that's quietly died off in the last few years. 40 China Black - Searching Twas the summer of reggae, for one thing. Or heavily studio-processed reggae, at least. Big Mountain's pension plans never got far. 39 All-4-One...
The stars of Couples Retreat descended on the red carpet in LA last night to promote the ensemble comedy. Kristen Bell and Malin Akerman showed off their legs in short and sweet dresses , but the ladies were minus one since Kristin Davis is back east working on SATC2 . It wasn't all about the women, however, as Jason Bateman, Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn hammed it up for the cameras. Dax Shepard was...
The temperature is cooling, leaves are falling and the morning air has become extra crispy. Without warning, autumn has slipped in right under our noses and makes us wonder: Where did the summer go? The heat can be uncomfortable,...
