Finger Beat
23 Jul
If you can’t stop drumming on every surface you come across, why not put that energy to better use? Finger Beat pays homage to dance and pop music from the last few decades drawing inspiration from retro synthesizers and samplers. Create beats or play melodies with your finger tips and customize the look and feel of the player itself to reflect your personal style. Record or perform on the fly no matter where you are with this portable virtual instrument.
Commemorate 40th anniversary of Moon landing
21 Jul
Fisher Space Pen Co. is celebrating the historic moon landing of Apollo 11 on July 20 with limited edition AG7-40LE Space Pens. The 40th anniversary pen is designed as a replica of the historic anti-gravity model pen. It features a piece of “Kapton” foil, used as protective thermal insulation on the Apollo 11 Command module, Columbia, which carried the astronauts to the moon and back. This rare artifact floats in a water-clear acrylic dome sealed into the pen’s cap.
Thought of the day

There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra than Alzheimer’s research. By the year 2020, there should be a large elderly population with perky breasts, never-ending erections, and no recollection of what to do with either of them.
Israeli soldiers speak out
19 Jul
A group of soldiers who took part in Israel’s assault in Gaza say widespread abuses were committed against civilians under “permissive” rules of engagement.
The troops said they had been urged to fire on any building or person that seemed suspicious and said Palestinians were sometimes used as human shields.
Breaking the Silence, a campaign group made up of Israeli soldiers, gathered anonymous accounts from 26 soldiers. Israel denies breaking the laws of war and dismissed the report as hearsay.
