			<title>BSOD tat - cyberpunk rawk!</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/news/11783/BSOD-tat-cyberpunk-rawk/</link>

<em>"I don&#039;t understand. Maybe it&#039;s pro-Windows, maybe it&#039;s anti-Windows, or maybe that abject confusion is the point? Either way, it&#039;s hardcore for hard coders."</em>

Check the comments on this link for more geek tats.  Come on Max...an AMD tattoo is screaming your name.

Another site with the artist&#039;s explanation here at ModBlog.

<em>"What Paul loves most is the idea of explaining this tattoo to his grandkids, when Windows 98 is so outdated as to be completely obsolete. "</em>

Wasn&#039;t Win98 pretty much obsolete when it was released?

			<title>Flickr Blog</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/news/11512/Flickr-Blog/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[If you're not on Flickr and you have a digital camera you're pretty much missing out on awesomeness.  It's like MySpace for photographers only reading Flickr posts doesn't automatically deduct IQ points from your brainmeats...like MySpace.

I like to check the Flickr blog now and then.  They always have great selections of user submitted photos as well as contests, events and general silliness.  Have a look.

			<title>Another nifty USB drive mod.  The Matchbox MINI.</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/news/11315/Another-nifty-USB-drive-mod-The-Matchbox-MINI/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Well of course I couldn't pass this one up.  It's a tech mod and a car thing...and a MINI at that.  And following along the lines of the Lego mod USB drive that Kurtis posted, I felt it fitting to mention.

Instructables.com is becoming one of my favorite websites.  This is a decent write up on how the mod was done.  Some of the instructables projects aren't so well documented and some are ridiculously detailed.  It's a great site to help release some of that atrophied creativity stored up in the recesses of your brain box.

			<title>Zune e-mail survey</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/news/11289/Zune-email-survey/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[So I just received a survey e-mail from the Zune Product Team.  Little did they know I wasn't a real customer but a reviewer.  And as I've just finished reviewing a Zune, I was ripe with criticism (the review will be up in the next few days, right Kurtis?).  And while it was painfully obvious that Microsoft was really just trying to see how well (or poorly) they've been marketing the Zune, the survey also appeared to be a score card for such services as the Zune Marketplace and the wire-less music sharing features.  With questions like:

			<title>Have old (functioning) computer hardware?  Freecycle it!</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/news/11227/Have-old-functioning-computer-hardware-Freecycle-it/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Just doing my good deed for the day.  Freecycle has been around for a while but its usefulness hasn't waned.  I've just freecycled two desktop printers I no longer needed to two very happy recipients.  Freecycle isn't limited to computers, of course.  In the past I've received an old fashioned style push lawnmower that works perfectly for the little strip of grass in my otherwise fully mulched yard.

<em>"The Freecycle Network™ is made up of many individual groups across the globe. It's a grassroots and entirely nonprofit movement of people who are giving (& getting) stuff for free in t...]]></description>

			<title>A review of soft drinks no longer with us</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/news/11188/A-review-of-soft-drinks-no-longer-with-us/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[So, OK, soda isn't by definition "tech" but this is a review of soft drinks...and we ARE a review site.  Good lord Orbitz soda was horrid.  I remember getting one from the "Kum & Go" (yes, that is really the name of the store) when I was in college.  It truly tasted like chunky hazardous waste.

<em>""Well, you assume our product tastes like some crap you don't like, so we're going to actually make it taste like that crap you don't like." Needless to say, Crystal By Pepsi lasted half as long as its already short-lived predecessor."</em>

I've also heard that New Coke was invented not as...]]></description>
