I've been sleeping a bit on the technology front, and whaddya know, there's all kinds of cool new stuff out there. Here's Sony's new PDA, the Clie PEG-NR70/NR70V The defining feature of this PDA is a full-length, flip-open-and-swivel screen. That's right, the screen can turn completely around and be hidden/protected when the unit is stored. No need for the clunky cover anymore, not to mention this gives you a gigantic screen. Inside, a hardware keyboard and the normal hardware Palm buttons are concealed. The unit also includes a headphone jack, a jog dial, a remote control plug and a digital camera. And of course, it supports Memory Sticks. This is the ultimate PalmOS device to date. In other news ... Macromedia has released Flash for PocketPC. PPC continues to distance itself from PalmOS by emphasizing its strengths ...

This is a pretty darn cool site sent in by none other than FreakyLemur, who is apparently still alive and kickin'. The Mini-Mizer is a Flash program that allows you to create your own custom Lego person. It's got a pretty remarkable depth of options.

All kinds of sit:

• Firingsquad takes a close look at the upcoming Id title, Doom III (above). It looks amazing.
• Blue's News reports the Soldier of Fortune II single-player demo is out.
• Firingsquad works over the Pentium 4 2.53GHz and previews the new Matrox Parhelia 512 high-performance video card.
• GameSpy's got expansive E3 coverage.

This is a particularly strange story about a chicken with no head. Mike had his head chopped off -- but surprisingly kept on tickin' for another year and a half. Check the site for the whole story, which is quite interesting. From Dr. Mikee.

There's a new slick hardware site in town: Systemcooling.com. It focuses (surprise!) on case and cooling, and is running a little grand-opening giveaway right now, so head on over and put your entry in.

Both Gsohappy and Lankus sent this in at the same time, so I guess I'd better post it up. Here's the latest bill-folding conspiracy theory

Yeah it's exactly what it says, Sluts against Butts ... bad girls against tobacco. Catchy name but there doesn't seem to be much to it yet. From SK.

Leave it to Mafioso to submit Symphony, a device that allows sex toys to be controlled over the internet.

Here's a site that catalogs mistakes made in movies, including discontinuities, contradictions and factual errors. Apparently, the recently released Spider-Man is near the top of the list. From Dr. Mikee.
