A little funk to start your day.

I have no idea what day it is. This week seems like one really long day flowing into itself. Part of it is a heavy work load, part of it is the constant heat. I mean, it’s been 90 degrees all week. I’m hot.

But the weekend is coming. My weekend sense is tingling.

Possibly that’s just gas. I never should have eaten at Old Country Buffet.

I4U starts off whatever day this is with the PNY XLR8 8800 Ultra Overclocked Graphics Card

3DGameman streams out a look at the Thermaltake Toughpower 1200W Power Supply

Think Computers tests out the Antec MX-1 Actively Cooled Hard Drive Enclosure

Hardware Logic goes on and Tours ECS' China Facilities, because hey, anyone can vacation in Bermuda.

Techgage writes up the Thermaltake Eureka. They also hit up the ORB Audio Mod2 Home Theater System

Tech Zone finally gets some 'work' done, sending us to some Dueling Booth Babes

Benchmark Reviews shows off the Hiper HCK-1K18A-US Black "Darkness" Alloy USB Keyboard

Mad Penguin gives us Moonlight Overview: An OSS Alternative to Silverlight. I have no damn idea what any of that means.

Tweaknews has nothing to do so they review the Ultra Microfly BX6 Micro-ATX Case w/ 600w XVS Power Supply

Bjorn3D is all helpful and stuff concerning Making a Bart PE Disk

Big Bruin juices up with the HEC Group Zephyr 650W ATX Power Supply

Legion Hardware gets a hold of the ASUS Extreme N8600 GTS Silent

Gamepyre talks about some Alienware Overclocking

Finally, Metku talks about the GMC R-2 Toast Computer Case

Ok, gotta fly.

You go have a day.

Funny you put that up. Parliment & the Funkadelic played for almost 3 hours at a free concert in the park in Plainfield NJ yesterday. They're from Plainfield, thus the name P-Funk.

And who opened the show for them...The SugarHill Gang.

Just an FYI for ya.

Hmmmmm....

Well the "P" in P-funk might have a little influence from your city, but overall... I'm still thinking that it could stand for quite a few things in the overall meaning it conveys.

"Funk" in itself refers to a "slow nasty groove" beat that relates directly to sexual intercourse with music. So with the P-Funk, you naturally can get several "P"s out of it (Think.... "Are you down with OPP" for the last "P")

Also, of the times, the "P" also stood for Psychadelic, as most of the bands that played P-Funk were wildin' out on some trippy themes at the time. Gettin' high was part of the ride to the Mothership baby! Tear the roof off the mutha!

Of course finally, with the merging of the bands of Parliament and Funkadelic, the P-Funk was just an abbreviation of their combined superpowers of music.

WE WANT THE FUNK!!!! GOTTA HAVE THA FUNK!!!!
