From the “check your sources” department: Kudos to two Register readers who discovered that Microsoft’s new Virtual Earth shows an empty field where Apple headquarters should be. Here is the article: Microsoft’s Earth deletes Apple HQ and here are two aerial views so you can see what is really there and what Microsoft wants you […]

Watch the iPod Flea ad spoof. I know what I’m going to get for my teenage son for his next birthday! 😛

This is way too cool. A “movie” of Hyperion, one of Saturn’s smaller moons, shot by Cassini between June 9 and 11, 2005. The image here is only the low resolution version. Check out Encountering Hyperion (Movie) at ciclops.org for the hi-res movie. Credit: NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute

This is just too bizarre to be fiction! I’ve got two cats and a dog. Thank goodness none of them has ever tried to “use” the laser printer. 😮

I try not to fill my blog with personal drivel of no interest to anyone besides me… but even iron-willed Art can’t pass this by. 🙂 Cindy and Geoff (my wife’s daughter and her husband) just bought their first house. They found a hundred year old beauty (in need of a little TLC) on a […]

Bored? Try noodling. From the STLtoday article: The catfish chomped down on Jimbo Anderson’s ankle with a mouthful of teeth like tiny needles. Pain spun in his head, but Anderson thrust his bare right arm into the murky water, reaching into the hole where the catfish hid. The intrusion was met by the catfish’s teeth. […]

First, Boing Boing refers us to a web site with instructions on how to create your own Popsicles out of Guiness. The original site seems to have exceeded its bandwidth allocation so you’ll have to make do with this […]
