The Bender PC – Case mod…
Master modder Jan made a really neat PC- After finishing my last project, I just had to do something new. I thought about what to do for months and had several good ideas, but finally I fell for Bender. I’ve always been a big Futurama fan and I was 100% certain I’d be able to do this, despite how much time and money I’d spend. I would never have been able to finish this project if I hadn’t had help from my friends: Einhar Flå – for welding, Geir Gravem – who calculated the angles and proportions. So a big thanks to these guys… [via] Link.

I heard you can make a fine living playing pachinko once you have the “hungry spirit”…The Pachinko Hakubutsukan (Pachinko Museum, more pictures) boasts 148 machines, many of them rare and historic mementos of the game’s industry. “I am really grateful for my encounter with pachinko. I wanted to say thank you to pachinko and wanted to return something” to the game, explained Tetsuya Makino, its manager. 
Nice HOW TO if you use Google Sidebar and Talk…After you install both Google Talk and Google Sidebar, you can select an option to integrate Talk into the Sidebar. (Then you can dock it to the side of your screen.) Do you think Windows is slowly becoming a bunch of device drivers to run Google apps on?… [
