Talk me out of it!

I had the sudden urge to drive to Pahrump, NV this morning and spend a significant amount of money on illegal fireworks. Naturally I needed someone to talk me out of doing that so I emailed a friend who did nothing but encourage me for the past 25 minutes.

It’s a candy store for adults, It’s an amazing thing, all those fireworks in one place. But luckily after a quick phone call I talked my friend into talking me out of it. Sometimes I need some sense talked into me otherwise I’m prone to drive 10 hours in one day just to buy fireworks. hehe. No really, this is all true I promise.

Long day, time to sleep.

Hands-Free Cell Phone Law as Art

Today is July 1st, 2008. If you live in California then you must know that starting today you can’t drive with one hand on the wheel and your only other one holding a cell phone. Police officers probably aren’t going to just pull you over for breaking this law because wow, talk about a lot of paperwork for such a minor infraction. But don’t break the law, that’s not what we’re saying. Go pick up a Bluetooth accessory if you plan on driving and using your phone at the same time today.

I’m guessing that this week will be the only week that this law is overly enforced. It will probably fade away into nothingness soon.

Rhapsody is Giving Away 100,000 Albums Free

Today Rhapsody launched a DRM-FREE MP3 Store in partnership with Yahoo & Verizon. The move away from DRM is obviously in favor of consumers, allowing them to take their music anywhere.

The MP3 prices are pretty comparable to that of Amazon’s DRM-FREE MP3 store. 99 cents per song, and ten dollars per album. However, if you sign up to use the store right now, Rhapsody will give you 1 Free Album or $10 worth of MP3s for free.

What’s the catch? — Well, you need to sign up for an mp3 store account or be a previous Rhapsody member. A credit card is also required.

To get started, visit this special link to get your $10 Rhapsody Credit.

Daily Typography: Coolvetica

Daily Typography: Coolvetica. Everyday we’ll feature one a great, new font. The font in our feature graphic above is “Coolvetica” and it just so happens to be the font that we’re featuring today to kick things off.

Coolvetica obviously plays off of Helvetica’s popularity and wide acceptance among designers. But still, it’s a decent font if you’re looking for something just a little bit more quirkier than Helvetica. Coolvetica can be downloaded here, for both MAC & PC.

Side note: Make sure to check out the Typography Room on FriendFeed for daily discussions and inspiration. Say “hello” to me while you’re at it.

Look Closely, What Do You See?

Charlie White’s photography requires you to take a closer look at what exactly is happening. Take a look at the picture above, looks interesting right? He’s holding a gun and looking at the floor. Did he just kill someone? Or is he just distressed and about to do something with that gun?

There’s a lot going on in this image and only 2 people seem to be paying attention to something out of this world. Do you see it?

You can see more of Charlie White’s work, here.

The Sink You Control with a Metal Ball

The movement of the ball controls the flow and the temperature — moving away from the center increases flow and moving around the circles controls the temperature. LEDs under the ripple surface are lit with intensity and color according to the flow and water temperature to provide the user with additional visual feedback. Under the ripple surface there is an array of sensors and electromagnets that provide tactile feedback to the user as she moves the ball to discrete points on the surface.

Changes…

I didn’t think this would ever happen, at least not this soon. I got tired of how things were looking on the last Geek Condition theme so this morning I changed it up a bit. Geek Condition is now on a modified version of the 3ColumnK2 theme.

I think for the sake of reading things you’ll like this theme much better than the previous one. I’m excited about this new theme, I’m really looking forward to posting more geeky things. I know I’ve been saying that the last few days but the time has come for me to unload the geekiness… be prepared.

I have a goal in mind and that’s to post as many quality geeky things that I come across each day on here. My sources include, Google Reader, FriendFeed, ffffound, Tumblr, and a top-secret website (aggregator).
