DJ Releases Sweet CMYK Records

When I was a kid, all the music I listened too came on vinyl. I had the Dukes of Hazzard album on vinyl, and the coolest thing about it was that the record had a picture of the Dukes printed on it.

Jabba the Snowman

Okay, this is either the most awesome pile of snow ever, or a great Photoshop job. Either way, with 6 inches of snow in front of my house, I plan on heading out into my driveway later today to attempt to recreate this Jabba the Hutt snowman.

Nokia N8 Shoots Cover Photo for PiX Magazine

Rumor: Logitech Suspends Production of Revue Google TV Box

[UPDATE 12/27/2010: Logitech has gone on the record to deny these claims, so it looks like this rumor was unsubstantiated.] When Google TV first hit the market, I wanted it pretty bad.
