Segments of Nike’s running 2009 collection have leaked displaying original and new colorways applied to newly retro’ed styles and classic models. This latest preview illustrates this by revealing two new Air Structures, two Air Twilights, an Air Max 90 Current and two Air Max 1s and Air Max Light. The Air Structures were posted not too long ago, while the second image showcases two sets of promising sneakers. However, the standout of the bunch may be the Teal Air Max Light, a popular Air Max 1 color-scheme from a few years back. Via SC.

How would you change Apple's unibody MacBook / MacBook Pro?

Now that you've had well over a month to toy with Apple's latest MacBook and MacBook Pro, we're just dying to know what your impressions are. Has the glass trackpad turned you off (or just turned you off to every other trackpad on the planet)? Is the inability to order the MBP with a matte display still grating your nerves? Are you happy with the performance? Is your "S" key randomly popping off at the most inopportune times? You just spent a load of cash on what essentially amounts to a first-generation product -- you've every right to make your voice heard. Do just that in comments below.Permalink | Email this | Comments

I’ve always been a fan of furniture and such that is made from other everyday objects. These are the sorts of things that make others pause for a moment when entering your house. Take this oxygen tank that has been converted into a lamp. You can bet that any smoker is going to think twice before lighting up next to this.

This lamp is made out of an actual oxygen tank, though despite the authentic gauges and valves, it no longer holds anything. Whether you’re going for that industrial look, or just want to go for that science theme for your apartment, this lamp will definitely fit right in. You’ll need to contact the artist for a price if you want one of your own.

DARPA enlists IBM to build computer brain as smart as a cat

Researchers have long been trying to model actual brains in order to build a better computer "brain," and it looks like IBM is now getting a helping hand from none other than DARPA in its attempt to create one that it hopes will one day have the intelligence level of a cat. To that that somewhat unnerving end, DARPA is pouring $4.9 million into a project that'll include five universities and scientists of all stripes, who will work together to create an artificial brain that behaves like a real one right down to the neuron level. As the BBC reports, the researchers are describing this latest initiative as a "180 degree shift in perspective" from previous efforts, as they're now seeking an algorithm first and problems second, as opposed to starting with an objective and devising an algorithm to achieve it. As for DARPA's ultimate goal, well, that's still a bit of a mystery, though let's just say we won't be surprised if future robots start to become very easily distracted.

Called Up From The Minors?

My BlackBerry Bold includes the phone numbers of just about everyone I call or text and vice versa regardless of how often that may be. So when I get a call from a phone number not programmed to a name in my little black Bold, it generally gets the “ignore” accompanied with an evil cackle.

Well, earlier this week that happened. Not only was it unnamed, it was from a different area code (cue the mystery segue music). It was followed by a voicemail.

“. Ben Cherington with the Red Sox. Thanks for your message…”

Did I just hear that right? And who’s Ben Cherington? Well he’s the Vice President of Player Personnel with the Boston Red Sox. THE Boston Red Sox. The Curt Schilling bloddy Red Sox (well, one sock). The AL MVP Dustin Pedroia Red Sox. I could continue to digress…


Anyway he proceeded to leave his mobile number. Now the debate was whether or not to call the guy and tell him he got the wrong number. A little common courtesy. After rehearsing about 10 times what exactly I would say, I decided to call. Voicemail…something like this.

“Hey, Ben. Just wanted you to know you called my phone on accident in case you need to get a hold of . Well, that and it’s not everyday you get a call from the VP of Player Personnel. Thanks.”

I know. Kinda weak. Despite my guarantee to Ben not to share his number with anyone, I’m sure he will (if he hasn’t already) change his number. Understandable. I mean I doubt it would bring the same attention as, say, if Paris Hilton’s phonebook got loose. Just gotta respect the guy’s privacy.

So that’s it. No happy ending like he hooked me up with some tickets…or he’s sending my son a signed ball by Dusty P…nor was it a prank in Kyle Kendrick fashion saying I was being considered by the Sox to hurl some balls down the 60′6″.

It might happen in Snoop Dogg’s world, but this stuff doesn’t happen everyday in mine. I doubt Ben Cherington will ever read this, but in case he does — hope you got in touch with . Best of luck next season.
