Is This A Normal Reaction?


Lim Ding Wen is a 9-year old Chinese boy. But not just any Chinese boy, Ding Wen wrote a finger painting iPhone app for his younger siblings.

Lim, who is now fluent in six programming languages, first started using a computer when he was two-years-old, discovered programming aged seven, and has since completed more than 20 programming projects.

His latest application, Doodle Kids, allows users to draw pictures using their fingers and then clear the screen by shaking the iPhone.

Pretty impressive, right? Not to his father!

"Ding Wen is an above average boy with an interest in computers, especially Apple IIGS and Macs, likes to do programming, and that's it. Doodle Kids is an extremely simple program that can be done by anybody. Everybody can program - if Ding Wen can, so can you," he wrote.

I'm pretty sure I can't do it.

Gas 'Em Up!



This is a video of a kid in the car after being gassed to have a tooth pulled. It almost made me want a child of my own until I realized you can't keep the little tykes gassed all the time...Or can you? NO - just kidding (unless I could) :)

New Color?

Here's a brunette Scarlett Johansson at the Hollywood premiere last night of her new movie He's Just Not That Into You. I'm saying she's a brunette because that's the word on the street.... looks like redhead to me!

Pigeon Smuggler

An Australian traveller raised eyebrows and the suspicions of customs officers after he was found with two live pigeons and an aubergine down his pants. Customs Service national investigations manager Richard Janeczko said the pigeons were found wrapped in padded envelopes and held to each of the man's legs with a pair of tights. Officials also seized seeds in his money belt and an undeclared aubergine, but are at a loss to explain why the goods were smuggled into the country. Mr. Janeczko said the pigeons were not endangered and that the case had been turned over to the Quarantine Service.


The question to ask here is not “why?” but “how did this man survive an entire flight with two live pigeons stuffed down his pants?”

This Makes Money?



This is just absurd. A CD of encouraging words? And three flimsy puzzle pieces... $25plus shipping and handling? WHO IS BUYING THIS? The guy jumping up at the end of the CD is just classic though.
