TechTV’s Fresh Gear had a bit about this toilet over the weekend. It’s pretty much the ultimate toilet.

If you need to sit on this throne, a heated seat — 96.8 degrees, to be exact — warms your fanny. Of all the Neorest features, this is by far the most luxurious. It’s a whole different experience than the shock of a frigid plastic ring freezing your backside in the middle of a cold night. The seat-heat function can be timed to conserve energy.

So fresh, so clean

Yes, it’s got a heated seat and a bidet. And it also has a “heated fan to properly dry all of your parts”. Can you say overkill? How much for all this? Only around $5,000.

Requires Flash. Badgers (a large amount of them even). Thanks to weebls stuff for bizarre things like this.

So my psychiatrist had me start taking something called Trazodone because I was having trouble sleeping. So far it is working great, but I just started reading the web site for it and sometimes wonder about these side effects. The ones that they say to contact your doctor immediately for include:

• shuffling walk
• slow or difficult speech
• fever
• prolonged or inappropriate erection

The last one confuses me the most. Just how does one define inappropriate erection. Is that like situationally inappropriate? Or being caused by inappropriate things? And by whose definition?

I was just looking through the upcoming releases for the GameBoy Advance and saw that the Activision Anthology is coming out for the GBA. Pretty cool from the sound of it (and coming from the cool folks at Aspyr).

Aspyr taking Activision classics to the GBA

The publisher will release a compilation of Activision’s Atari 2600 games.

Aspyr, best known as a publisher for the Mac, has announced that it will release Activision Anthology, a GBA game that includes more than 55 Atari 2600 games from Activision. The compilation will include key Activision games such as Pitfall and Pitfall 2, Freeway, Keystone Kapers, Seaquest, River Raid and River Raid II, Spider Fighter, Fishing Derby, and more. Some of the games have not been featured in any previous Activision compilation. [Gamespot]

There’s already something like this out for the PS2. But for some reason I think it fits better on something like the GBA. Being a lover of old video games (and having many fond memories of the Activision games) I will certainly be picking this up.

I just got done watching the first episode of Princess Tutu. It was very cute, and very odd. It’s about this girl, Ahiru, who is learning to be a ballet dancer. And it is a magical girl show. She’s about to turn into Princess Tutu. Beyond that, it’s just strange. The above line in the title is the one Ahiru’s ballet teacher says. He happens to be a cat. Er, well, a humanoid cat. I’m not quite sure what to think about it all, but I feel compelled to watch more and more.

Disco is still killing. When will the madness stop?

Disco lights lure baby turtles to death outside Greek park

Phenomenon highlights negatives in nexus of tourism, environmentalism

LAGANAS, Greece, Sept. 5 —  Disco lights are luring baby turtles to their deaths on the fringes of a Greek marine park in the Mediterranean Sea. Environmentalists say rare loggerhead turtles scramble out at night from eggs in the sand on beaches in the west Greek island of Zakynthos and instinctively head for the brightest horizon — normally the white foam of waves under the stars. But neon lights from discos and cafes along the back of the beach at Laganas, built for tourists who also go for boat trips in the bay to try to spot turtles, are often fatally brighter. [MSNBC]

The links to them seem to just hang around forever.

After a few rough starts this morning individual.com is chugging along. One thing I’ve noticed is that there are still a lot of sites out there still trying to hit the old individual.com. There were a lot of tools on that site for doing all kinds of syndication thing. The thing is, I think a lot of these old pages haven’t existed for a while. I wonder how many 404s it takes for a site to try and start scraping things automaticly. Don’t people write their scripts to notice when something isn’t working right?
