I’m really sorry, but knowing that people like this guy has a sex life is just plain disturbing. And now, his desire to get it up could cost him:

WEST PALM BEACH, Florida (AP) — Rush Limbaugh could see a deal with prosecutors in a long-running prescription fraud case collapse after authorities found a bottle of Viagra in his bag at Palm Beach International Airport. The prescription was not in his name.

When is this guy gonna learn?!  If you want drugs, you have to get them legally!

Yes, I said I was sick and tired of PDAs.

Yes, I said I hated being constantly attached to my e-mail.

I can’t kick the micromanaging habit, okay? I love getting my little grubby hands into every little detail, even when I’m supposed to be away. So sue me. And alas, if one micromanages, one needs a suitable gadget to micromanage with.

So, the Treo 700p catches my eye. And I resisted for a whole month! That’s gotta be a record for me. But ultimately, I relented.

So, here I am. Oh well, it’s good enough for Lex Luthor, and it’s good enough for Jack Bauer, so it can’t be SO bad…
Anyone care to bet how long until I move onto the Next Big Thing?

Richard Grasso.  This guy dominated the headlines in 2003 for his $140 million retirement package, on which he got rather greedy and decided he should try and cash it out all at once while still serving on the NYSE board.  Needless to say, in the post-Enron era, a guy who already earned an average of $12 million a year cashing out on $140 million raised a few red flags.

But now, more details are emerging on those events.  Normally, some rich old coot trying to get richer is nothing new (even if egregiously disgraceful), but the New York Times indicates this guy was so miserly, he even charged flowers and 99-cent pretzel bags to NYSE expense accounts!

Then there are the e-mail exchanges:

“Pal Cody: I’m sorry I don’t need to go to Rao’s,” Ms. Lee wrote in an e-mail message in April 2003. Referring to missing a dinner at Rao’s, Mr. Grasso’s favorite New York restaurant, she continued: “I go there way too much and I’m being too selfish. No hard feelings there, Punky.”

Yeah, you guessed it: Mr. Moneybags was known as “Punky” to his inner circle. Does this guy look like a “Punky” to you?!  No… I’d be more inclined to refer to him as more of, say, a Talosian…

Everyone knows that you can judge how good a photographer is by the size of their camera, right?

Okay, well of course that’s not true. But the Chicago tribune reports that a group of seven photographers from the legacy project are saying that size matters anyway. They’ve converted an old aircraft hangar into one giant camera obscura:

The photographers are using a nearly 31-by-111-foot piece of white fabric covered in 20 gallons of light-sensitive emulsion as the “negative.”

After exposing the fabric for up to 10 days, they will develop it in a huge tub made of pool siding, using 200 gallons of black-and-white developer solution and 600 gallons of fixer.

The photographers joke that they also are making the world’s largest disposable camera. When they are done, the hangar will be torn down.

No doubt, such a sizeable camera will probably produce quite a clear photograph. I just worry that the camera’s lack of permanence might rub off on the negative: how does one care for such a huge photograph?

While sadly, the flux capacitor is still not a reality, it appears that it IS possible to put the next best thing into a Delorean: a Mac mini, complete with projection display system. This guy was crazy enough to do it:

This project involved more than just a carputer. This is the merging of an automotive environment and a computing environment. This creates a portable office in your DeLorean. Not just a drive-in movie theater, but a drivable drive-in movie theater. Sound like fun? It is, but challenges along the way have made this ambitious project push the limits on my electronic and fabrication talents.

Interesting, but is it compatible with Mr. Fusion?

The coup de grace? A 37-inch projection screen, of which the development is detailed here. Evidently, this enthusiast was not content to use the tiny LCDs that most modders put in their car…puters.
