I’m not sure why I need to click through the entire set of retro arcade tokens, but I did, they’re beautiful. From the small arcade chains to Burger King and Pepsi tokens, some of these are surely to bring back memories. [via] Link.

I’ve moved several times entirely by bicycle. Usually I’ve used a Worksman trike pulling a large 4’x3′ trailer. I’ve hauled huge things with the Worksman, including couches and washing machines. It’s funny how people tell me, “Oh, I wish I’d known you were moving, I have a car.” As though we could fit a couch or a washing machine in their car! With a large trailer, I’m actually more mobile than I would be with a passenger automobile. [via] Link.

The target of this project is creating a low-cost interface that allows multiple Gamepads to be connected to the PSP’s infrared port. As it is in a pretty early (but working) stage, the interface only works with 2 Master System Gamepads. Source available on the page as well. Link.

It looks like Apple is about to announce new 12 inch and new 14 inch iBook widescreens. Someome grabbed a picture (or so it seems) of the home page when it was updated, but now it’s gone. [via] Link.

I think Microsoft planned on announcing this on Monday, but after reading the comments here– it looks like someone figured out that Microsoft’s Virtual Earth (MS version of Google maps) is out. It has a feature called “locate me” You can install Location Finder to display your current location on a Virtual Earth map by using Wi-Fi technology. If you do not install Location Finder, or if your computer does not support Wi-Fi, Virtual Earth can attempt to find your location by using the Internet Protocol (IP) address of your computer. This method is less accurate. To learn more, see Use Locate Me. Have fun, go play… Link. Update: Here is the API site, also a day early.

Only $20k. This is an auction for a MINT condition Apple I Computer. This is an extremely rare piece of personal computer history. Only 200 were made, about 150 sold and just a handful still in existence. The Apple I was the first Personal computer with “everything” on the motherboard. It was the precursor and inspiration of the Apple II. Link.

Here is a really nice Nintendo controller looking chair made from vinyl and foam. Looks like it cost about $40 to make and whole lot of stitching with a heavy duty needle. I hope they post a pattern or more HOW TO action… [via] Link. Bonus link: Homemade Nintendo purse.
