A Little Monday Geek Humor

Some people believe in crop circles... those strange patterns left in farmlands that can only be seen from the air. What about patterns only seen from space? Like a Google Earth satellite perhaps?

Well, in Hazelton PA, a mysterious pattern at the Harman-Geist Stadium field has been caught by Google Earth's satellites.


Amazing what a little creative gardening can do. It's at the end of Shaft Rd... hahahahaha! Here's the link to the original Google Maps location.

The SOPA Drama Continues...

With the recent SOPA/PIPA debate that's hitting Internet freedom as we know it... Worlds collide as one of the largest cyber battles begins...

The website "Megaupload" was recently shut down by the Department of Justice & FBI. Four of its founders charged with piracy.

Hacker group Anonymous (ie: people you really shouldn't piss off) has just retaliated by launching their largest coordinated DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service, a cyber attack designed to bring down a website) Attack.

Targets: (All sites are down as of the writing of this article. The list will be updated as more reports come in)
  1. US Department of Justice
  2. RIAA
  3. Universal Records
  4. MPAA.org
  5. US Copyright Office
  6. EMI Records
  7. HADOPI.FR (French Copyright Site)
  8. US FBI site
Click to read Anonymous' statement on the attacks

For those that don't know what this whole SOPA thing is about, I think Jon Stewart can explain it better than I can...

Ever need to text someone while swimming? (Liquipel)

Ever jump into a lake or a pool and forget your iPhone was in your pocket?

Ever have your phone fall into a toilet?

Ever think... "gee, I really need to call ________." while you're in the shower?

It's just so frustrating when your gadgets can't handle a little water right?  Well, no more!

Introducing... LIQUIPEL!!!

It's NOT a case.  It's a coating.

Ok, seriously, this has got to be one of the coolest non-gadget, gadget-related products out.  What they do is, they take your existing gadget (currently a limited line-up), place it in a small chamber and coat it with their water-repellant coating. I just wish there was some way to have this done here in the Philippines without going to the US.
