http://geektyrant.com/2009/09/plan-9-from-outer-space-remake-teaser-trailer/
What’s that you say? A remake of Plan 9? Yes, it is apparently true. And stupid. This wins the “worst idea of the year” award.

http://mashable.com/2009/09/10/facebook-mentions/

http://nashvillest.com/2009/08/31/twestival-local-nashville-lets-get-quacky/
Twestival is partnering up with the Great Nashville Duck Race to raise money for the Boys & Girl’s Club of Middle Tennessee. There’s a big fundraiser at the Big Bang on Thursday. You all know I love the Big Bang. Please come so I don’t get hit on by the guy at the door this time.
Arcade Needs Your Help

http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/09/02/wireless.electricity/index.html

http://mashable.com/2009/08/17/push-gmail-iphone/
I haven’t tried this out, as I really don’t care if I have push email or not. The article also claims that it’s a bit buggy. But if you have an iPhone and this is something you really want, you might try it out. It’s free.
