This 360' skateboard ramp is insane. Some people have way too much time and adrenaline on their hands.

What you get when you unpack an Apple refurbished product.

Ethan Kaplan at BlackRimGlasses has a post up about the major newspaper losing circulation. Feedburner (I think) thought they'd be funny with the feed ads, and this is what I saw in Google Reader a few minutes ago:

I read Tom Clancy's "Teeth Of The Tiger" this weekend. Yawn.

I finally got around to removing the Google ads from monkinetic. I never did make money off them (though Google insists it sent me a $100 check back in '05 sometime) and I was beginning to find them annoying. So... buh bye.
