Woohoo! Thank you Blizzard! According to World of Warcraft Web site, the test and contest have been extended to Sunday! Also, new testers will be added... Here is what it says:

My boss sent me this funny link about the weak security in Star Wars and Star Trek universes. It's an amusing read.

Labyrinth is a cool little maze game with a car and arrows. It's hard. I still have not been able to pass the first maze!

Zipdecode is a cool real-time mapping zip code decoder that shows how the numbering works for zip codes in the states (U.S.A.). You can zoom and unzoom the map.

I present to you... best mailbox ever!

thanks boingboing.

According to this story, most of us come up with our best ideas when we are about to nod off, says a study.

I don't know if I agree with that study with my body. ;)

This story mentions forensic scientists have developed a technique which should allow police and immigration officials to find out where a person has been living for the last few months or years - by analysing residues in their hair.

ABC7.com has a story that the greater Los Angeles area led the nation in how long on average a motorist is stuck in traffic each year. This was according to the Texas Transportation Institute, which used 2002 data to draw its conclusions.

Someone PLEASE build a working teleportation device like used in Star Trek, Stargate, or SOMETHING!! I don't care if it is buggy. :) It is not going to get better either! It took me almost 1.5 hours this morning to get to work (8:45 AM PDT to 10:10 AM PDT!) even though I don't drive.

Today, Blue posted this amusing URL with this image (third photograph):

See it? Hehe! [grin]

According to this article, practicing yoga can enhance a workout but it is an inadequate substitute for vigorous exercise such as aerobics, according to a recent study.

This CNET's story about college students and technology:

College students are getting a crash course in the "digital lifestyle," as schools expand and introduce high-tech perks such as campuswide wireless Internet access, subsidized legal music download services and even free iPods.

The success of school-backed technology initiatives is critical for providers of digital lifestyle equipment and services, which test early-adoption patterns and scramble for mindshare among tech-heavy spenders. But there's a fine line between giving students access to cutting-edge technology and making them marketing guinea pigs, some critics warn.

I just finished this long HBO miniseries called From the Earth to the Moon that was aired in 1998. Wow, this was a great miniseries if you are into past space flight exploration.

I wished I was born earlier to experience this. I hope something will happen before I die like Mars landing. Thanks to my cool boss for letting me borrow this and getting me into space stuff. ;)

Something Awful has an Awful Arcade Machines! theme for its doctored images. Some are quite funny, bad, uncalled, etc.

Worth1000.com has my favorite artist, MC Escher, for its theme today.

Eww!

I actually used to do something similiar to her, but I put my boogers under my desk at school back in my childhood days! It is sort of like placing gums under desks. ;)

Hmmm, a UCLA geophysicist thinks there will be a strong earthquake (6.4) according to this story. by Labor Day. Three days left...

"Forecasting nature's fits of temper is always a dicey thing, but Vladimir Keilis-Borok is putting his professional reputation on the line. Several months ago he predicted a major quake somewhere in a 13,000-square-mile area east of San Diego -- an area that includes Palm Springs -- no later than Sunday."

I will be amazed even if it is NEAR Labor Day and even a few weeks late.

Something Awful has Undesirable Lunchboxes theme for today's doctored images.

Note: Links to AQFL's screen shots are broken (not recoverable), but the non-AQFL links should be OK.

World of Warcraft is AWESOME! Amazing how it plays so smoothly on my aging Athlon 2200+ XP system! I played the game up to 3:30 AM after I came home from work! Crap, this MMORPG is addicting. I will be posting screen shots as I play so bookmark this story to see more screen shots...

Go here, but don't look at it if you haven't seen the movie.
