• Gizmodo’s IRC channel has gotten off to a fine start, with a few hundred folks joining over the last few hours, plus about 80 some-odd idlers on average. We’ve already had our first zombie attack, topic war, and about eight-thousand arguments about why arguing about the iPod is silly. Come experience the history of 1994 at irc.gizmodo.com #gizmodo in one of many IRC clients.

• My latest column for Laptop mag is online, where I have finally fallen back on using the “Turning Japanese” lyrical namecheck.
• Passwird.com has details about a current Dell Home sale on the Dell UltraSharp 2005FPW and 2001FP monitors, both of which can be had for just a little over $500 shipped. These are fantastic monitors for the price, although honestly, with the 2405FPW about to come out, I wouldn’t be surprised if they drop even more in the next month or two.
