With the Memorial Day weekend looming large, I humbly offer these ideas to keep you busy.
First, Boing Boing refers us to a web site with instructions on how to create your own Popsicles out of Guiness. The original site seems to have exceeded its bandwidth allocation so you’ll have to make do with this little picture to wet your whistle.
Second, and also from Boing Boing, comes this delightful reference to a store in Norway which sells stuff you can’t normally get ’round these parts. Apparently, they really sell skateboards but I’ll let you make up your own story. It’s bound to be more interesting 😉
Third, this time from Slashdot, I offer you Das Keyboard. ÜberGeeks only need apply. From their web site:
If you are an elite programmer who can write sophisticated code under tight deadlines, someone who makes impossible projects possible; or a Silver Web Surfer your colleagues turn to when they need IT advice: this keyboard is for you.
Shouldn’t your keyboard reflect your status as one of the elite? We think so!

Das Keyboard is an enhanced 104-key USB PC keyboard equiped with 100% blank keys mounted on precision and individually weighted key switches.
Type up to 100% faster in a few weeks!
Since there is no key to look at when typing, your brain will quickly adapt and memorize the key positions and you will find yourself typing a lot faster with more accuracy in no time. It is amazing how slow typers almost double their speed and quick typers become blazing fast!
