Should people this stupid really be playing poker?
If you cannot figure-out how to make a "cash roll" yourself, should you really be playing poker for real cash?
I remember as a kid, oh, probably at about 8 years old, how I'd convert any money I had into $1 bills so that I could feel "rich". I'd stuff the 10 or so bills into my wallet and marvel at how wonderful that giant wad of cash looked.
Fast forward to today.
Apparently, people today aren't smart enough to figure-out how to make an "impressive" wad of cash without accessing the internet. Here is the proof. Oh yeah, I guess it's now called a "poker roll" or "gangsta wad".
Yes, you read that correctly - someone took the time to document how to use a rubber band from a bunch of broccoli to hold folded money allowing you to flash what appears to be thousands of dollars next time you sit-down at the local poker gathering.
Run forth with your new knowledge and impress the world! Whip-out your gargantuan gangsta wad at the local grocery store! Impress the high-school kids working at Target with your behemoth broccoli-banded poker roll. Your poker buddies will tremble in fear!
Maybe this really is the internet that Al Gore invented...

Oil companies are simply passing-on the costs. Yeah right.Exxon is passing the costs right into their company cash coffers as they prepare to surpass the mighty Microsoft as the most cash-laden US company. The oil companies are constantly turning their pockets inside-out in order to appear sympathetic with consumers, all the while proclaiming that they do not make money from the increased prices and merely pass the costs on. If that's true, why is Exxon about to surpass Microsoft, the most cash-rich non-financial company for the past many years or possibly longer? It's no secret that Microsoft basically prints money with software and has used questionable market tactics to...
First new Intel-based Macs announced
From a running commentary at Macworld, Steve Jobs has just announced the very first Intel-based Mac. It will be an iMac using a dual-core Pentium-M (Yonah) chip. It should be significantly faster (and dual-core to boot) than the previous iMacs and available at the same price. Looks like there will also be a MacBook Pro laptop model with integrated iSight camera. It will also be based upon the "Core Duo" (dual-core Pentium-M "Yonah"). Should be interesting! I'm not sure if I'd spend the money on revision 1, as Apple typically does alot of tweaking after finding...
Digital pinball machine - another version
Here's another version of the virtual pinball machine, using a 42" monitor instead of a normal playfield. I wrote about a virtual pinball machine called the Ultrapin a while ago. Ultrapin was built to look like a normal pinball machine except the playfield has been replaced by a 42" screen which displays virtual bumpers, ramps, and other pinball goodies. It's a neat idea, but by making it look like a regular pinball machine, you can't help but compare it to the Real Thing and therefore find many flaws and reasons why it's not as good. An Austrian company called TAB...
The latest do-it-yourself gadget: a soda pop machine
Do you have a recipe floating around in your head that you've wanted to try but simply lacked the ability to make? Wait no more... First-off, I've gotta say that I love pop and this gadget really caught my eye... The Soda Club machine lets the average Joe make his own pop (or "soda" for you east-coast types) one litre at a time. Using this ingenious gadget, you can make your own tooth-rotting sugary solution and carbonate it into fresh tasting, delicious soda pop! I'm assuming that you can make a sugar-free diet type solution and carbonate that as...
Personal computer robotic platform
Perhaps the ultimate casemod or is it something much more interesting? I don't know how many people will remember the old Heathkit Hero-1 robotic kits yould buy in the early 80's. However, as soon as I saw this "mobile computer platform" I was instantly reminded of the Hero kit which I dreamt about for so many hours as a young kid with no money. The White Box Robotics PC-BOT is essentially a mobile x86 class computer that's fitted into a motorized framework. The chassis is driven by a couple of stepper motors for mobility and has the requisite controllers, batteries,...

Sweet! Now if I just had a better J-O-B to get me some of that ‘folding crimp’
The shear stupidity of the general public amazes me.
