I'm hoping down in the deepest parts of my heart that these are all trolls. Above is a clip of an article written on Engadget, it had a witty titled to talk about how expensive this particular brand of "silent entertainment PC" is. The comments to the blog are a flood of offers of kidneys for cash and their various qualities and contact info. Here are some of my favourite kidney offers (you can see all of them in the article's comments, click the clip above to get to the article):

I heard about this from one of my friends this morning, who discovered that despite waiting forever no iPhone 4 for him (you can ask him all about it here: http://clp.ly/ATqu).
This makes me so glad that I wait for my technology to die before I replace it. I've never had the need to "upgrade" my shit before it's dead.
After waiting in line for two hours, Strom found out his pre-ordered iPhone 4 won’t be available for the upgrade price of 0. His current iPhone 3G contract ends this month.
My friend Mitu and her sister, have started a charitable organization they call Arohon. They hope to raise £5000 in sponsorship for their Mt. Kilimanjaro climb to improve the resources of Nikrail Gonokendra Pathagar in Bangladesh.
I've been friends with Mitu for well over a year now and she has never ceased to amaze me. She's an incredibly kind, caring and strong woman who always goes through with what she puts her mind to.
That's why I'm asking you to consider giving them some of your support in the form of a donation for their climb. If you can't support financially then please tell your friends, share this clip (http://clp.ly/ATo_+) through your blog, email, facebook, twitter or posterous account to help spread the word about Mitu's cause! If my words are convincing enough, then perhaps it might be more enticing to know Mitu is a PhD candidate for video game research (how cool is that?)
Check out their mission below, they speak better than I about their goals and what they are doing!
Our aim is to empower poor people by providing them with the basic resources needed to climb out of poverty. We believe that by implementing improved sanitation, housing, healthcare and education, the world’s most vulnerable people can finally lift themselves out of poverty. Indeed, our name, ‘Arohon’, is the Bengali word for ‘climb’.
Primarily we shall be working to combat poverty in Bangladesh, where, after visiting the area where our dad grew up, we found many people struggling to access basic necessities, including safe drinking water. Bangladesh is fighting to become a middle income country, but with such a fast growing population and limited resources, millions of Bangladeshis remain trapped in poverty. With the help of Arohon, we want to open up opportunities for these people to build better lives for themselves.
Of course, as a new charitable organisation, we aim to tackle these issues one step at a time, with our first target areas being education and women’s empowerment. Though Bangladesh has achieved gender parity in primary school enrolment, far fewer girls complete their education in comparison to their male counterparts. Of the 67 million adults that are illiterate in Bangladesh, 42 million are women (Source: DFID) – our aim is to break down the barriers to girls’ education. Our vision is to shift gender perceptions in Bangladesh so women are openly offered the same education and career opportunities as men. Arohon will be opening a women’s education centre teaching basic numeracy and literacy skills; we believe this is one of the first steps to help local women realise their full potential.
As a result of poverty around three million children (half of which are girls), miss out on state primary education (Source: UNGEI). Arohon will also be supporting the extension of a currently struggling public library, so that local citizens have free educational resources available to them.
It's very early to announce this, but I wanted to get this up. As you remember from last year, I participated in Sarcastic Gamer's Extra Life charity. It's a 24 hour gaming marathon to raise money for children's cancer research. I want to thank last year's sponsors heavily and everyone who supported me last year during the 24-hour run through!
I had an absolute blast last year and while I was working at Justin.tv I helped promote the gamers who took part in the charity marathon and participated with them. Together we raised nearly $20,000 for Extra Life.
I wanted to take a moment to highlight two of my favourite moments from last year. I broadcasted the entire event and these two video clips come from hour 23, when I was totally starting to lose steam and getting very sleepy and everything devolved into "That's what she said" jokes and sex humour.
This year I'll be doing it again and you can help me! I'll be joining up with team WNOHGB with my good friend @otaking to try to raise money for the Children's Hospital & Research Center of Oakland, CA. I have a personal goal of $1,000 this year, but I know that with your help, we can do this together! I'm also dedicating my participation in this year's event to my friend Drew Olanoff who has been kicking Cancer's Ass and has gotten thousands to #blamecancer in the hopes to raise awareness and funding to cancer research. I've always adored Drew and he's been an inspiration to me both as a Community Manager and a person.
Now, the question remains. How can you help? Below is a clip of my donation page, you can choose to sponsor me as I play for 24 hours straight on October 16th 2010, spread the word to your friends or sign up with me! Join me and team WNOHGB and help raise money for cancer research! Together we can help kick cancer's ass! If you have any questions don't hesitate to shoot me an email or contact me on twitter: @tia_marie, I'll be happy to answer your questions!
I'm not really one to be interested in marketing campaigns but this is ABSOLUTELY gorgeous. You have to click the clip and check it out, seriously it's an immersive experience.
I'm not really a girly girl, I'm sure all of you are painfully aware of this fact. I don't wear dresses and all that jazz, but when I heard my coworkers talking about a "Invader Zim Corset" I knew I had to go look. They had everything my chick nerd's desire could think of. I seriously want one of these dresses but perhaps in World of Warcraft or Legend of Zelda. Seriously that would rock my socks off.
If you didn't already know Reddit.comlaunched a mobile interface that is absolutely stunning. I've been a reddit user for several years now and I had mixed feelings about the reddit app for iPhone (this was mostly the fault of the App approval process and not reddit's fault). This present interface is the handy work of Keysersosa and paradox460. It's absolutely fabulous with some features (that I screen shotted for more awesomeness). Take a look at the clip below, this is pretty much the way the front page of reddit looks (don't judge me by my subreddits ^.^).
So the feature that I like the most is the "tweet" feature. I know typical reddit users aren't going to be as into this as I am, but I think this is awesome. You can tweet any reddit link and it'll automatically take from the submission title for your tweet. Check out the screen caps below! If you're not a reddit user, you should be by the way.
Thanks to Reddit and Wikipedia I've been on a bit of a "mystery sounds" kick. I found this page from Wikipedia. It has the wav files and spectrograms of each of the sounds.
So a very little known fact about me is that I'm previously married (divorced now). I'm pretty much done with the marriage thing and am not going to do it again. Several of my RL friends know me as the geeky tomboy who is never in a dress.
Well I did wear a dress. Yes it had wings. Yes it was based off of Yuna's Dress from Final Fantasy X and yes I walked down the isle to the orchestrated version of Suteki da ne. If I could find pictures from that wedding I'd gladly post them. Unfortunately those were during the days before everything had a camera in it and digital copies of photos were all the rage.
