It’s really about nothing. A web site about nothing.… and yet

… sort of a meeting place where people from all over the world visit the same site for one simple reason: to make the counter reach ZERO.

A nexus of the universe if you will, where eventually, one fifth of the world’s population will have crossed each others paths. This will be the biggest countdown in the history of mankind, and a world record!

Everytime you enter, the counter will move one step closer towards the big ZERO… See how the race towards zero has spread around the world and be part of the biggest countdown in the history of mankind!

Keep the counter moving

Like the Sgt. Pepper’s artwork redone by someone with OCD and two grams of meth in his bloodstream, Howard Hallis’ Picture of Everything is a huge, annotated drawing of, well, everything.

Many people missed out on the birth of the personal computer age, myself included, and wanted to be able to play with these early computers. However since the Apple I is so rare and one just sold for $15,000 at auction using one is almost impossible. However Vince Briel has designed a replica of an Apple I called the Replica I.

Now I have built one and here is my article on it.

The Tech Buzz Game is a fantasy prediction market for high-tech products, concepts, and trends

As a player, your goal is to predict how popular various technologies will be in the future. Popularity or buzz is measured by Yahoo! Search frequency over time.

Predictions are made by buying virtual stock in the products or technologies you believe will succeed, and selling stock in the technologies you think will flop. In other words, you “put your play money where your mouth is.”

A fun idea to help discover new podcasts, and to experiment with connecting existing podcast data systems together.

an RSS feed with randomly selected podcasts. Each
item is a direct link to the most recent enclosure for a particular
show. The feed only has one item, so when you subscribe with a
newsreader such as NetNewsWire 2.0, you won’t have to download multiple
MP3s at once.

Podcasts are currently chosen randomly from the full directory at iPodder.org. Some filtering is applied to restrict results (English only, maximum file size 40MB).

An operations manager for Jack in the Box was late for a meeting and
called his boss to tell him he was running late. As he was leaving the
voice mail message, he witnessed an accident and went on to provide
“play by play” of the incident. This is the actual voice mail message.

This is too funny: A guy hits a car with four old ladies. Acts like an idiot and they kick his butt.

Man: She just hit him in the head with a bible.
