January in Northern California. No central heating, no portable space heater.
All is not lost. Apparently my quad core i7 laptop with GTS360 graphics chip can provide some defense against the chill of winter! If I’m cold, I simply fire up an OpenGL benchmark or maybe a raytrace in Blender. After strategically placing my ugly fleece blanket in a way that ducts hot air from the laptop’s exhaust port, I’m warm and cozy in just a few minutes. I’ve developed a similar technique for keeping dinner rolls hot, too.

I don’t need nor want to own this unit (or even have the money to afford one), but wow. I like to think I typically appreciate a minimalist aesthetic to gadgets, but if anything so busy has ever looked as sexy to me as this, I’ve all but forgotten about it now.
Not a superconducting quantum interference controller, oscillation overthruster, or flux capacitor, the AATON Cantar X2 turns out to be a digital multitrack audio recorder. Really it could have been a bathroom scale and I would still have had to sit and stare at the photos on the manufacturer’s site. Wow.

Fancy, spicy ramen with veggies, and two eggs (chicken type) on top (black tea with ginger and honey not pictured).
Really I’m just testing WordPress posting from Android. Yee!

I’ve put together an HTC EVO skin for the Android emulator (the emulator is part of the Android SDK). The four buttons below the screen are working, but I didn’t include definitions for the volume control buttons in the layout. I’ve packed the files in to a .tar.gz archive. If you’re using windows, I believe 7Zip can unpack the archive for you. Let me know if you find this useful! Oh and yes, that is a screenshot of the emulator displaying this page displaying the emulator displaying this page displaying the emulator displaying this page displaying the emulator displaying the home screen.
