The Boring Store, 826’s new Chicago imprint, is absoutely not a secret agent supply store. The Methods Reporter, a Chitown blog by Notherwestern J-school students, sneaks inside. They sell Bob’s favorite brand of grappling hooks, so there’s something for everyone, whether you are spy or a ninja!
I never understood what pair programming was until now. Glad someone drew a picture for me. (found on Pivotal blabs).

I don’t remember how I heard about the Hi5 / T-Mobile / Sidekick Rap Challenge … I thought I read about it on TR but I can’t find the post. (I mean, where else would I read about such a thing?).
It has come to my attention that the one and only T-WIL, neé né (thanks Alexis!) Travis Wilbur, our biggest fan, has entered the contest with not just a Rap but a full on video to go with it.
You have got to check this out. Mad props dude! T-Dog: drop a comment on here so we can get some nice QuickTime encodings up, this flash video is driving me nuts (it’s dropping frames on my macbook pro) and I want to see your video in full rez glory. Not that I’m not impressed that you implemented your own Flash Video Player SWF for the video … this guy just doesn’t stop …. (although you might want to close that “object” tag in the myspace embed code for your video)
I don’t see how anyone else could win this contest. But if it doesn’t happen don’t worry about it, you’ll be laughing at these dinosaurs in a couple years when you’re rockin’ Hollywood in your Expedition.

UPDATE! We are talking about Travis WILBUR!!!. Sorry Travis … all these pixels dull the mind :-) Travis Walker is some guy I went to high school with.

Apparently this plant ate a mouse at the Botanical Gardens in Lyon, France on Friday. “Botanists discovered a partially digested mouse inside the plant after several people complained of a horrible smell.” The plant is called Nepenthes truncata and can be found on the island of Mindanao in the Philippines.

It’s good to see the Germans working towards the greater good. Dig on Napshell, the latest in power-napping technology. I like Janine Anderson’s rationale here:
Since they’re designed for outside use, you’ll soon see these cool mobile beds at your favorite park, nightclub or hotel. But you might want to pick one up for yourself as well because — well, do you really need a reason?
Features include ergonomic matresses and Dolby Surround. Hopefully the Make people will pimp these out with knobby tires and solar powered motors.
