Even though I should have known better, I'd always thought you needed a full-out clean room if you planned to open a hard drive and have it operate again. These case modder sites suggest otherwise with their clear-drive-cover projects.

Back in September, experimental German composer Karlheinz Stockhausen was accused of callously calling the World Trade Center attacks the greatest work of art ever. Turns out it's not so. How could we expect anything less from a man who both earned the 2001 Polar Music Prize (along with Robert Moog and Burt Bacharach) and was a cover star on the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album.

What is Mlife? It's neither that spiritual nor that complicated. Possibly the biggest guerilla marketing campaign on the internet since AI, Mlife is Ogilvy & Mather's latest creation for AT&T Wireless. It's close at hand, so pay attention to the commercials during this Sunday's Super Bowl. That is, unless MetLife's lawyers (or these guys) have their way first.

Despite the best intentions (and the laws) of every state except Nevada, America will be betting an estimated $1 billion on the upcoming Superbowl, including bets on such oddities as the coin toss, the TV ratings, and whether Kurt Warner will throw more touchdown passes than Mario Lemieux will score points in his NHL All Star Game.

The Global Ideas Bank has its fair share of strange and awkward, inventions. But there are also quite a few clever ideas, some of which have actually been used to record albums.

Forget lame-ass Jack Chick tracts. Today's Christian youth can read comics about the evils of evolution in COLOR. But don't just take it from me, read the celebrity endorsements, including the star of The Shaggy DA.

To find the elusive Two that lead to One, one must take up the time-devouring game or art or senseless habit (depending on your viewpoint) of Googlewhacking.

If you've ever experienced the horror of giving someone a monstrous URL like http://groups.google.com/groups?q=acquire+strategy+group:rec. games.board+author:desjardins&hl=en&scoring=r&as_drrb=b& as_mind=12&as_minm=5&as_miny=1998&as_maxd=27&as_maxm=1& as_maxy=2002&selm=voh4sjdlqcy.fsf%40yuban.berkeley.edu& rnum=6, you'll appreciate the simplicity of shorter URLs that can be found at places like Make A Shorter Link, Shorter Link, and purl.

The United States Fire Administration (a part of FEMA) publishes a series of tech reports. They are tragic and fascinating.

It wasn't long ago that you had to read industry publications to see the movie industry's "For Your Consideration" ads touting their movies for certain awards. Now that campaigning for awards has moved online, anyone can pretend they're members of the Academy.

The video for Star Guitar is quite hypnotic. It was directed for the Chemical Brothers (the infamous purveyors of big beat), by Michel Gondry. But then Gondry has got quite a portfolio already.

Roger Ebert has had a fantastic idea: film buffs should record their own commentary tracks for DVDs. He starts things off by providing us an abbreviated commentary for the Criterion Collection DVD of Hitchcock's Notorious.
