Internode are AWESOME!

Yes, the return of “is AWESOME!” posts.

Finally, you might say.

In any case: Internode. New levels of awesome every day.

Unmetered content, including Linux distros, files, and more. An impressive 16 TERABYTES of content in all, if I remember correctly.

Now they’ve gone and raised my usage limit again, with their new Easy Broadband plan. On this plan, I get 50GB of usage to use every month, at 1500/256 speeds, or the fastest available at my exchange (so theoretically I could be getting ADSL2+ speeds if Telstra lifted their game), all for $50 a month.

Too easy.

Internode. New levels of awesome.

This post brought to you by Blogtober 2009. Yes, this is the third time I’ve been late, but there were other considerations, okay?

Incredible, amazing, awesome Apple!

I’m no psycho-analyst, but after seeing a couple of similar videos from past Stevenotes one would think that such hint-dropping is all part of the reality-distortion field. Doesn’t it flow that somehow saying all those words subconsciously makes the people watching the video (and indeed, present at the keynote) associate such words with the Apple image, and indeed the brand?

No? Maybe I’m reading too much into this.

An XKCD book? I’d buy that.

There’s an XKCD book!

[…]

A portion of the profits go toward build a school in Laos, via the charity Room to Read. There’s a possibility we’ll get to name the school; I wanted to name it ‘the xkcd school’ because of how confused it would make the kids who are trying to learn English phonetics, but I think they’re vetoing that idea.

Tech21’s iBand protective case and its mystical, magical, non-Newtonian goo

The iBand from Tech21 isn’t particularly attractive nor svelte, but after watching the video below there’s little doubt about its effectiveness. It’s made of a substance called d3o, which is a fancy orange non-Newtonian substance, starting out stretchy and gushy but, when put under pressure, hardening and protecting its precious contents. We’ve seen this stuff applied to high-impact applications like motorcycle armor, but we’re glad to see gadgetry getting a little attention too. […] Right now the £15 ($25) iBand is only available for the iPhone and iPod Touch, but future gadgets should receive the oobleck treatment soon.
