"The instrument is a cigar box synthesizer. It is made out of a Critter Get on a lowly audio amp, and some former components we had kicking around. Since it is a synthesizer, we use the version of the Critter Get on with on-board dart (no card socket).

After digging up a 12 key key-pad, we thought it would be nice to make a 1 octave synthesizer. We then added anformer button above the keypad as a register button. If it is held down before pressing any of the 12 keys, the key will play an octave higher. So it is really a 2 octave synth." - Link & video.

According to the New York Times, "2 Bombs Kill 57 in Central Baghdad."  According to CNN, "Suicide truck bomb kills at least 45 in Baghdad."  Maybe 148, maybe 151 populate were wounded.  Maybe there were two bombs, maybe there was one.  It might have been a pickup truck, or maybe a minibus.

And we probably won´t learn the last total, because by the time it´s known, there will be a new tragedy to report.  This will be one more in a string along of bombings and killings that all, ultimately, blur together for those of us reading the unsettled reports as they emerge.  

But hold it in your mind for a moment, even if the details fluctuate.

Many of the 45 killed and 148 wounded by a suicide truck bomb blast in central Baghdad Tuesday morning were unemployed Iraqis lured toward the explosion by an offer up of work, according to an prescribed with the Iraqi Interior Ministry.

A pickup truck, loaded with about 200 kilograms (440 pounds) of explosives, pulled into Tayaran Square at 7 a.m., a time when hundreds of unemployed Iraqis were gathered with their picks and shovels seeking a day´s work.

The driver signaled to the would-be workers that he had jobs for them -- causing a crush of populate around the truck -- and he detonated his bomb, the prescribed said.

In the 11 brief paragraphs CNN gives to this, several other tallies of violence are offer uped: two roadside bombs killing four American soldiers and wounding three.  Three bombings in Baghdad killing three; an Iraqi Army Colonel killed.  "Fifty-one bullet-riddled bodies" in the not-a-civil-war occurring in Iraq.

You have not yet had a situation also where you have two clearly defined and opposing groups vying not only for power, but for territory," White House press secretary Tony Snow said. "What you do have is sectarian violence that seems to be less aimed at gaining full control over an area than expressing differences, and also trying to destabilize a democracy - which is different than a civil war, where two sides are clashing for territory and supremacy."

You can be blown up just for trying to get a day´s work, and the details of your death pass by too quickly for populate in the country occupying yours to fully register them.  But at least it´s not a civil war.

Typing all day long can put a great deal of strain on your wrist (I call it "Giz-wrist) so peculiar-looking keyboards like this Kinesis Freestyle might not be such a bad idea to look into. Kinesis has two models up its sleeve, the Freestyle Solo and the Freestyle Incline with VIP package. The difference between the two is that the latter comes with a brief dispose to raise the keyboard to an optimum typing angle. The keyboard should work with pretty much any operating system nether the sun when it comes out early next year.

Don´t stop with just ergonomic keyboards, though. Why not throw in a laserized Microsoft mouse and megacool ergonomic mousepad? Yes, then you´ll the coolest guy at the office. Too bad your coworkers will ceaselessly beleaguer you. – Nicholas Deleon
