Read all the Enron e-mails you want

Want to know something cool and scary at the same time?

You can read through hundreds of thousands of Enron employee and executive emails for free...

A company called Inboxer, Inc. has set up a website (enronemail.com) to demostrate their software to help companies manage their email. They refer to it as an: "Outbound Content Compliance appliance, [that] helps you protect intellectual property, maintain customer data privacy, demonstrate compliance, and manage inappropriate employee behavior."

And these days, with more and more folks using their company's internet connection for personal means, this kind of software is gonna be needed more and more.

How did they come upon the emails? According to the site, the Feds (Federal Energy Regulatory Commission) gave it to them.

They're also holding a few contests for who can dig up the most firable message, the funniest joke, and the best "Oh crap! I wish I hadn't just sent that" emails from the database.

Fresh Ice Cream while you wait

At the 2006 Demo Conference they had something very cool. MooBella has created a vending machine that will make you a customized Ice Cream scoop right in front of you. We're not talking spitting out a pre-made scoop and tossing some toppings on it. Nope. We're talking this puppy will mix together the fresh ingredients that you've selected, flash-freeze your selection and serve it right up to you in less than a minute.

Pretty freakin' cool huh? I have *got* to find one of these machines! If anyone finds one let us know what you think.

On the technical side of the machine, you can select from 96 differnet combinations of flavors and toppings, it runs on Linux, and it's smart enough to know that if it's out of a topping or flavor to not display it as an option.

There are videos of the system on both the MooBella under the "Click here to see what people are saying link" and at the 2006 Demo Conference site.

Captain Picard Gets Funky

Somebody put together this music video of Capt. Picard and the crew of the NCC-1701D getting down and funky to a techno song pieced together from what I can only guess is bits of sound clips from ST:TNG.

It appears to have been made with the help of The Sims 2, and you can tell a lot of work went into it. Whoever posted it on PutFile misspelled Picard though. Dumbass...
