Fresh Air Computing
As I type this, it's a beautiful evening with a bit of soft rain falling, I'm enjoying a fresh espresso made from beans from Dark Horse Espresso Bar in Toronto and rather than the usual trick of slouching over the laptop on the couch, I'm sitting outside.
We just today invested in some outside furniture I very much appreciate, which I'm sure is the biggest part of the reason I'm outside. (Not to mention that my sigificant other is at Sex in the City tonight and I wasn't able to make it on account of parental responsibilities). But I have to say, geeking out never felt so healthy as when you can smell the rain and get some fresh air while doing some work on the laptop.
I'm sure if I worked in some type of gazebo thing to keep the direct sun off my laptop screen while still allowing some fresh air to oxygenate my brain, that would be the best thing ever for a lot of reasons.
I think I'm going to have to start working like this more often.

Yahoo Think Tank - Acclaimed Wank
I don't care if this is a top-rated idea on the site. Crucifixes are not appropriate product-placement fodder. Anyone who knows anything about Christianity would immediately recognize that Jesus' blood has deep religious meaning to hundreds of millions of Christians around the world. Smart money says - don't mess with that.
Creativity should always be informed by intelligence and common sense. It's the same reason why you wouldn't want Andrew Dice Clay emceeing your wedding reception. Funny? Sure. Appropriate? Not a chance. Bad idea.
Maybe Zippo can sponsor these guys when they burn in hell.
