Headhoods might as well have been invented way back when, but I guess even if it had it didn't do much in the "before" time. Now, however, they do and one can catch them running around on the street, or just by going here. It's all American Apparel stuff, too. Nysse! (tk)

Google just launched two new fantastic features: Sky and Embeddable Maps.
Sky lets you explore the heavens from within Google Earth. You get a 3D view of all the constellations viewable from earth, and you can explore them in 3D. 100 million stars and 200 million galaxies are included. Amazingly, the imagery is stitched together from more than 1 million images, with contributions from the Hubble Space Telescope.
Google Maps has a new embed feature that provides an easy way for anyone to include an active map on their site.
Embedded maps can be customized in terms of size and can also include driving directions, search results, or a user generated map. Below is where we are.
Interactive digital signage is a quick-intro solution for retail locations to influence shoppers with full motion video, entertainment and interactive product demonstrations.
The Terra Bite Lounge in Kirkland, WAhas developed a unique pricing system for their items. You pay what you want to. They encourage people to pay what they would normally pay at any other cafe and cheerfully serve those who cannot pay, in a non-stigmatizing customer setting, with no political or religious message..." The cafe makes about $3 each transaction and hopes to open other locations in places that really need it. Terra Bite was founded by Ervin Peretz and opened by Susan Allsup. If you're ever in the area stop by and check it out! (bp)
Ever want to see what it would be like to be bionic? Now you can finally find out if you qualify for robotic implants! It's pretty hard, for people that are not robots that is, and at 86% I'm told you unlock some videos. Looks like some viral marketing from the upcoming NBC Bionic Woman series (yes, based on the 1976 starring Lindsay Wagner...NBC dropped the "The" for the new title. Clever.) debuting on September 26, 2007. Now if they would only remake the Fall Guy. (bp)
In an effort to promote their new N95 model, Nokia created this site: Jealous Computers. Nokia calls it a "global warning" and has pictures and other footage on the site showing the effects and injuries of N95 owners encountering a jealous computer. Reason being is that the N95 is supposed to be a computer in pocket form. It is, indeed, a brilliant device with a 5MP camera, GPS, Wifi etc. It is actually a pretty nice campaign and will hopefully make people more aware of what they can demand out of their cell phones (if they'd only add a data plan . . .). Below is a video explaining how to deal with "jealous computers" at the workplace. (tk)
