I've got a big midterm in about two hours. So what do I do to keep me from obsessing and reading over the material so I can do well? Catch up on my very important Engadget reading.

I've recently added the site to my top three link checks when I first get on the internet. I won't say that I know much about technology but there is some kind of allure to it that is unexplainable. The gadget world is definitely very sensual. The design, marketing, even the names of products are engineered to access the same areas of the brain that are stimulated by the smells of food and attractive people.

Check out the project above for instance. In Germany, you can now send google map directions from the web directly to your car's GPS. In other words, you can skip the entire step of remembering or writing down your destination and then to entering it into the GPS in your car, and have it automatically sent instead!

How could this possibly be useful or significant enough to warrant mentioning? I guess if it keeps Germans from driving through road signs it could have some function. But other than that it's just something fun to piss off the Luddites with.
