Careful what you post online - one day it might come back and snap you on the rear.

I didn't know about this. Did you know about this? Well Big Brother, wait till my good side is showing before you snap a picture.

I love it when art and tech collide. This is kind of an example of that. Maybe more of poetry and pop culture. Anyway, check outThe Matrix: Reworded. It's all in haiku. Prety cool.

The words are pixels
The thoughts reflect the culture
Together art are

Take a ride in Zero-G
Pretty amazing picture - 2.5 GIGA-PIXELS - fully zoomable.
So where do I get a camera like this?

YEEE-HAAAAWW
Ready to take a ride on the X-43A Scramjet - at 7,000 miles per hour (Mach 9.8)?
For reference, that's about two miles a second.
Ride 'em cowboy
--------------------------
Of course, speed (and time, don't forget) is relative. For example, back in 1998 Voyager 1 was traveling at about 10.8 miles per second.
That's an advantage of space - no pesky air molecules to contend with.
Read about that here, or a little more recently here. Second site has other fast stuff listed too.

Too Cool!
A robot (for the tech side) and dancing (for the fun side).
Put them together, and what do you get?
The new Citroen C4 - bustin' a move.

Very cool.

Once again, life imitating Star Trek (or at least taking a step in that direction - you heard me - now we got NASA working on 3D television.
Pretty cool, huh :)

EAT CHOCOLATE. IT'S GOOD FOR YOU.
Okay, you don't have to tell me twice. The proof is here.
Just a teaser: "The amount of polyphenols (antioxidants) in milk chocolate is equivalent to that of five servings of fruits and vegetables."
Dark chocolate is better. Coco powder is best.
With winter coming on I should be healthy as a horse with all the hot chocolate I'm going to be drinking.

VERY cool.
