I hate it when I IM someone, and wonder why they don't reply. Then 5 minutes later it shows they've been idle for 10 minutes already. This happened to me 3 times yesterday! Away messages are your friend! Love them, and they will love you.

Why couldn't PE be this cool when I was in middle school? A school in California is using DDR in it's PE classes to promote kids to become active. The heck with dodgeball, give me some DDR!

Augmented Reality strikes again, this time helping you play pool. It lays a grid over the table showing you the best angles to hit a shot with, which is then shown in special glasses that you wear. I wonder if someday they couldn't do someting like this with contacts and have the information transmited wirelessly to them. Or heck, just connect it directly to the back of your eyes, though that'd raise the concern that you could never trully trust your eyes to see what is *really* there again. Think of like a computer virus that makes you blind. Hmmm, I think I like the contact idea more, since at least you could take out the contacts
