[quantumBlog] The G’zOne TYPE-R not only has one of the most god-awful names we've ever seen, it's also one of the most rugged mobiles around. The clamshell is waterproof up to one metre, shock resistant (thanks to the protective foam rim and magnesium alloy case) and it comes with a number of features designed to aid outdoors types, such as 3 types of navigation system (including a digital compass), a stopwatch, flashlight and buzzer. There's no fish hook or tweazers, but it does have an "extension mode" which lets you check emails and use your address book when the battery is dead. It's also got a 1.28-megapixel camera so you can do a spot of snapping while you're out in the wilderness.

[Techdigest.tv] Tech Digest: Bearing in mind that Sharp is Voda's key partner for UK phones you wouldn't bet against the first TV phones from the network - rumoured to be launching in late 2005 - looking a lot like this.

[Docrampage.net] Confessions of a Gizmophile: If someone wants to actually use it as a full-scale divecomputer they have to buy a wireless regulator attachement for this.And they need another wireless attachement if they want to be able touse it for underwater communications.

Brothersjudd.blogspot.com[Brothersjudd.blogspot.com] <Brothers Judd Blog>: But Mr. Fortuyn did something that is especially dangerous when he began stirring up animosity toward these immigrants--a member of a group that has been met with intolerance in the past he determined to match the specter of resurgent intolerance with an intolerance of his own--for race hatred, as Americans found to our eternal sorrow, has a way of poisoning an entire society and claiming unintended, as well as intended, victims.

[Sandhill.typepad.com] Sandhill Trek: September 2004: Dervala and Tim were wonderful hosts. I'm afraid I repaid their kindness by screwing up Tim's flashlight. Then it slipped my mind (or what there was left of it by then) and I left it there for him to find. Tim, if you're reading this, I'll replace it.

http://grotto11.com [Grotto11.com] Peeve Farm: Hiker has a post which does a good job of explaining what's so slimy about pro football in a much calmer way than I could do-- to give you a hint, I would talk about double-Y-chromosome prison escapees and drug addicts being paid salaries the size of some countries' GDPs to ram their heads against each other in a gladiatorial arena and break each other's legs for the entertainment of millions of pot-bellied, bald, beer-stained couch primates who will go to bars and discuss pointless statistics with each other and drink till they pass out if their team wins, and go into furious rages and beat their wives and children and crash their cars if it loses. It's about the most quintessentially debasing thing that we as a country do, and it's held up as the Pinnacle of Twentieth-Centry American Culture and the advertisers' paradise, the start of the new sales fiscal year.
