Did you enjoy playing with legos for hours and hours? I did. And if you are an Apple fan-boy like myself then you will be interested in PodBrix’s “Young Woz and Jobs Playset”. The Young Woz and Jobs Playset is a minifig recreation of the early years of collaboration beteween Jobs and Woz. Each playset will sell for $39.99. The Young Woz and Jobs play sets go on sale August 29th at 9:00 PM EST time at PodBrix.com. With only 300 of these limited edition bad-boys being created they are sure to sell out fast.
Have you seen the Justine Ezarik video on YouTube where she opens her first AT&T iPhone statement? It was delivered in a box and weighed in around 300 pages.
In response to this video and similar videos AT&T recently sent a text message to all iPhone users stating that “We are simplifying your paper bill, removing itemized detail. To view all detail, go to att.com/mywireless. Still need full paper bill? Call 611.”. And they will surely save a few trees too!

Create the file wp-404-handler.php in your base WordPress folder.
Set your sites 404 page to point to the wp-404-handler.php url. Most control panels at web hosts allow you to do this. If you’ve got the option to select between FILE and URL then choose URL.
Go to Options -> Permalinks in your WordPress admin page, and choose an appropriate structure for your links. I chose Custom with this pattern: /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
