I’m ready for this. Garden lamps that look just great and don’t require some horrid electric plug to be strung across your lawn. Ikea has just announced solar lamps for the typical Ikea price of $20 for a string of five lights.
You can check out some shots of the lights in action at Inhabitat, where they look really spiffy. Count me in to pick a couple up when they’re out in the next coming weeks.
Steve Martin has hosted SNL what, twenty times now or something. As they say, with experience comes comedy. Don’t question it.
SNL with Steve Martin via Hulu.com (again).
Cory Doctorow, who is currently not an evil villain, gave a speech a few years back at Microsoft about the effects of DRM (DRM being the technology that prevents you from copying things you own on your computer). His presentation is one side of the argument around copyright protection, given in a very well spoken, convincing manner.
The speech is available online at a site which, in a collosal bit of irony, requires you to use Internet Explorer to view it.
Stella is an absolutely out-there, gut bustingly funny show based on an established night club routine thought up by three guys. It is the height of random or abstract humor. Every critic I know of spoke very highly of this group of guys. They only made one season.
You can watch it on Hulu here. If you really want I’ve posted what’s probably my favorite episode, or one that I remember being really good, after the break for you to check out. These guys were really ahead of their time, in my opinion.
