Digital Newsstand

Check out this custom rig from Scott Walker, an assistant managing editor at the Birmingham News.

Scott scored an old newspaper box on ebay, and hacked it together with a Mac Mini, and a flat screen monitor to create a digital newsstand that grabs and delivers the latest headlines to his living room each morning.

And dig this, he's even been so kind as post the how to info so we can all make our own.

Pretty genius Scott, nice work.

Have An Ice Day!

Dude, it's nasty out there. Check out these shots of some frozen stuff in my backyard.

As I write this a 300-mile stretch of I-10 from Fort Stockton to San Antonio is closed because of ice.

In Maine, wind chills are 40 below and in New Hampshire the 6,288-foot Mount Washington registered a wind chill of 77 below.

Dang!

Stay warm!

That's Right,
