With the weather getting colder you want to stay stylish and geeky even when you have to dress warm. Paul figured out a perfect way to celebrate the release of Mega Man 9, be stylish, geeky, and warm!
This might be the point where I learn to knit, or find someone I can ask to knit me an awesome Mega Man Helmet like this one!
Next on the list is Mega Buster Gloves.

I am assuming when you turn off the lights your computer sits there till it goes into sleep mode for the night as you crawl off to a warm place to sleep for a few hours sleep as well. My computer does the same thing though before sleep mode kicks in my keyboard lights up due to the low light. There is a light sensor in my Macbook Pro and it tells my computer to dim my display so it doesn’t hurt my eyes and to turn on the back light under the keys in my keyboard.
I found a funny little application over at SlappingTurtle Software that when your light sensor hits a certain level it fires up sounds of crickets and or frogs called NightSounds. Now this is a great idea! Sadly this application hasn’t had much love as it does not even have an icon. The idea behind it is solid though, especially if you are a user like me that keeps his laptop nearby while he sleeps. Combining this feature with other media options could produce an extremely usefull application.
