Sigh – FOX Sports on MSN - COLLEGE FOOTBALL - Polls. Tho in this season I guess there is a non-zero chance to rise back to the top 2, there are a lot of games to play yet. Beat Michigan!

* Ping Pong Door ? Coolest Gadgets – just a concept now I guess. * Another concept – mobile phone/tv remote combo. I love this idea. Not sure I like this particular form factor but the concept is great. * Response Kettle – cool! The general idea of embedding small amounts of processing power into everyday objects and having them exhibit some behaviour seems fruitful * Combo spatula tong – OK i really need this

Tatebanko Paper Diorama – love these, I am not sure why. Lots of cool items up at this store.

* Toolmonger ? Blog Archive ? It’s Just Cool: On-Demand Dry Ice – OK kind of useless actually but no one else on the block would have one. But I can buy a lot of dry ice at this price * MII Flashcam – for making blair witch style recordings?? * Animated severed hand plans * Personal Moon lamp – in case we don’t have a nice moon on Halloween night.

A Sack of Seattle: Judy’s Book lesson #1: markets win – nice post from Andy – a large growing market trumps all

Technology Review: A More Efficient Engine – J told me about this the other day at the Seattle Auto Show, high compression gas engines that don’t need a spark plug at equilibrium. More efficient and less emissions.

* Schneier on Security: Future of Malware – interesting article on the markets and economics of malware * New mathematical model predicts more virulent microbes – just great.

Feld Thoughts - Where Did I Put That Manual? – fairly useful. I’m always looking for the manual for that 4 year old device.

The World’s Creepiest Places in Parties Holidays on Concierge.com – look like my kind of vacations

* Toolmonger ? Blog Archive ? Save Your Rear With LifeHammer – OK I actually got sucked into buying one of these…will I remember where it is when my car goes off the floating bridge?? * Heated Shop Floor Mat – handy when doing Halloween prep. Maybe I could combine it with this idea and it could be self-powered… * Zibra tool to open vacuum formed plastics – OK I got one of these too and it is pretty awesome * Hammer Stapler – not sure I do that much stapling but maybe I’d do more with this * Sideways drill bit – OK I really can’t picture how this works, but it seems like an obviously good thing

Marcello is running this Seattle Startup Index – 200 Seattle Startups - November SSI – kind of cool

World’s First Nanoradio Could Lead to Subcellular Remote-Control Interfaces – now this seems totally awesome. Being able to radio control nanoscale devices seems incredibly useful.

Home Owners Club – wonder if this is worth joining
