Do it all

It slices, it dices: There’s something very inherently geekishly attractive about slick, multifunctional devices like Swiss army knives and the giant coffee machine. Well, what if an ubergeek crammed an Atari 2600, an old-school Nintendo, an X-Box, a GameCube and a PlayStation 2—along with a state-of-the-art tuned and torqued gaming PC—into a standard computer case?

What if nothing. This Yoshi guy actually did it—and it’s not some chewing-gum-and-bailing-wire nightmare, it looks like it just came out of Future Shop. See how he did it and try, with an open mind, to contemplate why at www.techtv.com/screensavers/ (scroll down and click on Yoshi’s Boxx).

Gas up: Throughout history, mankind has used many objects to make music—a log hollowed out by termites was the Australian Aborigines’ didgeridoo, and dried reeds led the ancient Egyptians to the flute—but now, animated dogs farting in different pitches may supercede it all—hold it in at www.anime-xxx.com/fartingdogs/. :
