Point & Shoot


Watch this interactive essay by Philip Jones Griffiths called Point & Shoot.
He's poignantly documented violent conflict with unabashed honesty and disdain for its consequences.

Ultra-Rare Nintendo Game Up For Sale

A 1990 Nintendo World Championship NES cartridge is up on eBay with a "Buy-It-Now" price of $12,000. There were only 116 ever made, and this is one of 90 grey ones given to semi-finalists. The other 26 are gold, like the old Zelda cartridges, and were given to winners and runners-up of a Nintendo Power contest (one recently sold for $20,000+). Check out the Wikipedia page for more details on the competition. The cartridge has versions of Super Mario Bros., Rad Racer, and Tetris on it.

Spy Pen Detects Wireless and RF Signals

rf-detector-pen.jpg
The Auto Detective pen detects wireless and RF signals. The light starts blinking when it detects "signals within the ranges of 900-3000MHz". The faster the blinking the closer you are to the spy device you're detecting. As an added bonus it's supposed to have some feature that helps detect counterfeit bills. The unit runs $16 and is made in China. I've already placed my order. I have reason to believe my girlfriend bugged the house because she suspects I'm cheating. Which I am, but she'll never catch me. The bag-lady and I only make love at the bus-stop. I don't invite her over because she smells like urine.
