Okay I’ve found it, my dream computer setup. I have room for it downstairs, now I just need to come up with the cash :-). Need little better specs on the system it self but who cares the monitors, oh man!!! Oh sorry I’ll clean up the drool.
This is so amazing I even have a hard time believing this is real. It’s best described by looking at the web site page by page. In brief a guy draws blobs in virtual space within the dimensions of a real life room. A must see/read.
Before and after photographs of Supermodels that have been modified. This is amazing how much they really change a photograph. To me quite a few of them didn’t need anything at all but then again there was ones that were pretty bad.
Yet another online quiz. This one claims it can determine which file type you are by answering a few questions.
This has to be the best car modification I’ve seen yet. A nice console customized to hold an iPod. To top it off he adds a nice apple logo that glows. Awesome job dude.
This is an interesting article discussing how to hack the UPC Symbol. It’s an awesome educational material for all those curious.
This is an excellent list of applications for a Macintosh. I’ve tried 95% of all the applications listed there and would entirely agree with Sudeep Bansal blog entry. I highly recommend Macintosh users to check out Sudeep Bansal’s list of “Essential freeware” applications.
Nintendo of Japan has updated there web site to celebrate Mario’s 20th birthday. It’s amazing that it has been 20 years already. I can recall the first time I started playing Mario games and still play them to this day. Happy Birthday Mario!

I ran across this neat online game called “Name That Candybar” by the Science Museum of Minnesota (part of the Thinking Fountain). The object of the game is to identify the candy bar by looking at a cross section of a candy bar. It’s a good time waster :-). Good luck!

If you haven’t seen it already you have to make sure to go and see the movie trailer for Ice Age 2: The Meltdown. The trailer doesn’t show much of the movie but enough to me to say that most likely this will be another great family movie with great humour. The movie is expected to appear in movie theaters some time in 2006. No specific date has been set that I’m aware of.

I ran across this amazing featured story at PhotoshopNews.com about visiting Photoshop engineers at the amazing Adobe Systems, Inc. in San Jose, California. This story is a couple months old but I thought it was so interesting that I had to inform others about it.

I’ve read through many articles discussing “User Friendly URLs” and I have come to the conclusion that Apache module mod_rewrite and the use of an external prg (program) using preferably PHP but if necessary Perl, is the answer. If there is a better answer please let me know. As for now I can’t seem to figure out how to get my “User Friendly URLs” method to work using Apache mod_rewrite.
What I want to achieve is to create virtual paths such as www.domain.com/products/ or www.domain.com/products/erv/ with trailing slashes that is passed into mod_rewrite to process this virtual path. Which breaks up the path into separate values (i.e. “products”, “erv”). Then queries the database for the topic id to determine if “erv” and/or “products” exists. If it does exist the topic id would be returned to the page to be processed other wise a 404 error should occur to the client. I don’t want to have to input direct references to all the paths into Apache’s httpd.conf or .htaccess as I have 11 topics with 70+ sub-topics to deal with. Going to a database is the best option I believe. In theory this should work however I’ve tried my own mod_rewrite RewriteRules and RewriteMap with no success of a value being returned. I’ve even tried examples that demonstration a similar method but no success. If anyone has an idea how to achieve this or can direct me into the right direction please let me know.
PHP code example to break up the path into separate values.
list($value1, $value2, $value3) = explode(”/”, $_SERVER[’SCRIPT_URL’]);
httpd.conf mod_rewrite in VirtualHost directive.
RewriteMap content prg:/var/www/htdocs/venmar/getTopicId.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/$ /index.php?nTopicID=${content:$1|0}
