WorldChanging

This is probably the most interesting book I’ve purchased in a long time. It’s a massive compendium of ideas and tools for making the world a better place. But don’t listen to me, listen to the rumours on the inkernets about it. Or ask the google about it. You know the drill.

The publishers of this book ‘hacked’ amazon’s best seller list by having people purchase the book on amazon at exactly the same time. The book shot up to #13 on the best seller list in one day.

You can buy the book here.

BTW, I’ve opened comments again. It seems the spambots have slowed to about 200 comment spams a day. Down from several thousand… Ugh.

Sun Microsystems’ Datacenter in a Shipping Container

Remember that Google Container concept that Cringely wrote about a while back? Sun Microsystems now sells these things!

Take a look: (super cheese video)

One of these units would make it into the top 200 computers in the world. They stack up to 6 containers high! It can support 1.5 petabytes of storage per container. Cringely says “it’s the largest sneakernet ever built”

Some of Sun’s usage scenarios.

Here is a video of the enzo crash:

Dragon Force MP3

A friend of mine told me about Dragon Force a couple months ago. I’m not really into “heavy metal” but these guys are really somethin else.

According to their site:

“DragonForce plays their own unique style of Extreme Power Metal!”

Who doesn’t like “extreme” power metal?
