[Forbes’ guide to the most sinful cities, arranged by sin](http://www.forbes.com/lifestyle/2008/02/14/cities-sinful-lander-forbeslife-cx_lm_0213sinful_land.html#map). Congratulations Denver on being chosen #1 for Lust.

[The trailer for Wall-E set to the soundtrack for the trailer to The Terminator](http://io9.com/360974/wall+e+nator-mashup-proves-cuteness-may-destroy-the-future). Not a perfect fit, but given there’s no apparent editing it’s quite uncanny how well it all fits.

Up to this point, I’ve written a little over 56,600 words in this blog. That’s a little over the minimum length of a novel.

[The directors of the Matrix go very strange in this film based on a cartoon](http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/speedracer/trailer1a/). The style of this looks superb. I think it’ll be a huge flop, but incredibly enjoyable at the same time.

[Try installing this floating chair](http://gizmodo.com/346269/hoverit-lounger-relaxation-through-levitation). I’d love to know what this feels like to sit on – it’s hard to imagine what it would be like. I also wonder what kind of magnets you’d need to have in order to sell this safely in America.

[A spice gun](http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/05/the-spice-gun-asks-do-you-feel-hungry-punk/). This would definitely make cooking more fun!

[The vaguely menacing Curta mechanical calculator](http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/05/hisgadgetoric-the-curta-mechanical-calculator-peppers-our-eyes/). Beautiful design, but there’s something about it that makes it look a lot like a gun of some kind.

[A survival kit in a barrel](http://gadgets.boingboing.net/2008/02/20/bedu-emergency-shelt.html). Slightly more sensible than the furniture in a crate from last week.
