I found a cool site on lifehacker today called Bikely. It’s a cool google map’s mashup that allows users to create and browse bicycle routes in any given place ON EARTH.
Here are the routes for Richmond. If you’ve got a good route you should add it.

He may be a little older, but John McClane is definitely back in action, as Bruce Willis announced today that he will star in a fourth Die Hard movie next year with the subtle title of Live Free or Die Hard. And the next Die Hard in the Bruce Willis franchise is coming quick, supposedly set for release on June 29th. 2007, according to Variety, with production starting as early as next month. Die Hard 4 tosses its hat into what’s already been called “sequel summer” with Shrek the Third, Harry Potter 4, Pirates of the Caribbean 3, Ocean’s Thirteen, Spider-Man 3, Fantastic Four and the Silver Surfer, Evan Almighty, The Bourne Ultimatum, and Alien vs. Predator 2 ALL scheduled to open during the summer months of 2007.
Seriously. Fantastic Four and the Silver Surfer. For all of you keeping score at home, Rocky 6 is due out this year (yeah right - I predict they bury that thing in February 2007) and Indiana Jones 4, Bathman: The Dark Knight, and Star Trek XI: Actually The Sequel To Good Will Hunting are due out in 2008. Awesome.

I decided to check out digg.com this evening as is my custom every 2 minutes, and here’s what I found at the very top:
“3 out of 4 women now prefer a plasma tv to a diamond… THANK YOU GOD”

“The study found 77 percent of women surveyed would prefer a new plasma television to a diamond solitaire necklace and 56 percent would opt for a new plasma TV over a weekend vacation in Florida.
Even shoes lost out. The study found 86 percent would prefer a new digital video camera to a pair of designer shoes.”
Wait — women enjoy TV shows and taking pictures of things? Yep! Apparently women got tired of voting and birth control, and they turned their minds to more modern things.
But it turns out that even women haven’t noticed their newfound nerdiness. Another study reveals that women are just as good as men at using the internet, but are convinced that they’re much worse.
‘When all the data was assembled and analyzed, Hargittai uncovered “no statistically significant difference between men’s and women’s ability to find content on the Web,” after taking into account external factors such as income, education and years of online experience.
Yet, Hargittai wrote in the June issue of Social Science Quarterly, “Men are more likely to think of themselves as better skilled than women. In fact, not one woman thought of herself as an ‘expert’ user, and not one man thought of himself as a complete novice.”’
You don’t have to think too hard about black and white dolls, Stanford Prisons, and allegedly smart kids to understand what’s going on here. The shocking thing is that women, despite thinking they aren’t very good at internets, did as well as they did.
But even if modern women don’t know that they’re nerds, today’s young girls are smart and they know it. Heck, it is looking like women don’t need men for much of anything anymore. Maybe we shouldn’t be thanking our deity of choice quite yet, men.
I, for one, welcome our new female overlords, and I recommend that you other male readers of Haduken do the same if you don’t want to find yourselves mining diamonds in Africa for pretty necklaces when the revolution comes. Or, you know. Maybe they’ll make us work in plasma TV sweatshops.
A long time ago there once was a Firefox extension to rule them all: Spellbound. This extension allowed you to spell check the contents of forms in Firefox. No longer did you need to worry about getting PWN’d by spelling something wrong in a heated argument about gay marriage. But alas when Firefox 1.5 came around the extension broke and life was sad. However, Rejoice! Today I found the development version of said extension. YESSSS GET EXCITED. Look forward to good spelling.
Note: you may have to install a dictionary to get it working.
