Coca Cola readying self-chilling soft drinks?
Filed under: Misc. Gadgets And you thought non-stick chewing gum was the heat. Turns out, Coca Cola may be plotting a new version of Sprite that actually chills itself upon opening. Apparently, the drink has to be kept at a specified temperature before being snapped up, and once the oh-so-thirsty consumer pops the top, “a mechanism inside creates ice made from the drink, so it is not...
Craft Economy - Toronto band staples CC-licensed...
Kim sez, “I was shopping in Toronto’s Kensington Market on Saturday afternoon, when I ran across a CD stapled to a hydro pole, promoting a band’s upcoming show. I ripped it off, listened to the tracks, and checked out the band’s link on the CD. Anyways, I thought this is pretty cool - they’re giving the album away for free (downloads on the website), selling a...

Big Thunder Mountain has added a photo to the pool:
Technically this shot of the passage beneath Spaceship Earth at Epcot Center is not stunning. But there’s something about it I really like. Maybe it’s all the memories of walking underneath that sphere myself! (via Glenn’s shared items in Google Reader)
Almost Right and Getting Closer
I’ve been gone for a while. Months, which in Internet time might as well be eons. Is anyone still with me? Regardless, there have obviously been some major developments at Epcot lately, ones worth noting.

Nikon, Apple, Starbucks - need one say more?
Apple: I am starting to use iWorks seriously now. It really is a hidden gem of an app. - a lot more powerful and flexible than it is given credit for.
