Dave Chappelle surprised the city of Portland early this morning with a 1 a.m. gig at Pioneer Square. Unfortunately, 3-4K people showed up instead of the expected 200. All he had was a small amp, so most people couldn't hear a thing. Could this signal his return to stand up? [via The Sly Oyster]

Looking for a more fashionable way to protect your laptop? Well why not pony up $20 for a sweater cover? Davey Sommers repurposes old sweaters and gives them that jello pudding pop touch turning them into sweaters for your laptop. This should be dubbed the iCosby for shear marketing genius, but then I guess pc'ers would be feeling the cold shoulder.
