There's a load of great tech news happening out there every day, and, unfortunately, we just can't cover it all. Here are a few of the other noteworthy things we saw today on our never-ending journey through the wild, wild Web.
  • Urlesque rounds up 13 amazingly useless machines, ranging from pedal shoes to a banana fan. [From: Urlesque]
  • Justin Long reveals the months he dedicated to trolling an unsuspected teen who accidentally texted him, thinking he was her friend Eduardo. His aggravating misspellings are certainly on point. [From: Urlesque]
  • Nikon outed its D3100, the world's first HD SLR with video auto-focus. As Engadget notes, we're curious to see how well this actually works -- most auto-focus systems are obnoxiously loud and get picked up by the camera's mic. [From: Engadget]
  • Best new Tumblelog? Things Organized Neatly [From: Things Organized Neatly]
