Some Links for your consideration.

Pretty Women make men act illogically
No comments from the peanut gallery here... Read the findings in New Scientist.

IEeeeeee Carumba!
Saw on The Unofficial Microsoft Blog a reference to a cNet article: IE updates are going to be for XP only going forward (sorry about the *going forward*. If you have one of the older OS's, it's going to cost $99USD. More from cNet. Tell 'em to take a digital hike. Go here.

MetroNaps
We are now in the future.

HeadBlade
A shaver designed to shave, well, Heads. Available in the UK. Has anyone seen one here? I'd like to see if it is better than the Gillette disposable I use.

Hurricane Ivan Impact Studies
The US Geological Survey did some before and after photo survey pairs of damage caused by the hurricane. The fourth pair was startling. If the house is livable, they now need a dock.

Cooking For Engineers
I was clicking through the Next Blog link on the top of my page and came across the Cooking for Engineers Blog. Sauteed Zuchini with Muchrooms looks tasty.

Quebecer Safari food
So what do you get when you let one half of Timon and Puumba loose in a Quebec kitchen? Well, Timon's Poutine of course.

Sex Supplement claims bogus
Well, I guess it is official if CNN is reporting it. I can stop reading the spam now. Not that I need that ;)

Apple Design
From ChangeThis.com, Six design lessons from the Apple Store. If you do retail or want to see what concepts goes into setting up an Apple Store, have a look. Just clock on the download red button to have the inline PDF. (just a powerpoint looking thing, but insightful.

Mc-Outsourcing
From The Raw Feed:

McDonald's Centralizing Drive-Up Window Order Taking
McDonald's is reportedly centralizing some drive-up window order taking in a Colorado Springs call center. When you place your order at some McDonald's drive-up windows, the person you're talking to may be in another state (assuming you're not in Colorado). Your order is then sent to a computer screen in the restaurant you're buying from. A hidden camera snaps a digital picture of you so the minimum-wage teenager who hands over your burger can match your face with your order. Instant Prediction: Offshoring drive-up window order taking to India will be tested within the year. Snide media commentators will label them "Bangalore Burgers." You heard it here first, folks!

The Raw Feed had a ton of cool Tech related posts. And you really do hear it there first.

Punk SMS
Found the punkSMS.com web site via Raw Feed too. Spoof your phone number when messaging someone. It was only a matter of time. News article, in english, is here. Check out the text message on the phone in the pic. :)

And last,
From Rachel Lucas, who has started up her strongly opinionated blog again. A September 11 reminder. Just one photo says it all.

Carpe Diem
