I went autocrossing this past weekend with some friends from Dallas and took some pictures (it was a TAMSCC event). I’ll try to put them up sometime, in the meantime here are some droppings to keep you busy with:
- How-To Turn your iPod in to a Universal Infrared Remote Control - Phillip Torrone created a step-by-step tutorial on doing just as the title suggests: taking your iPod and cramming the functionality of your TV, DVD Player, Direct TV, Ultimate TV PVR, Media Center PC, Xbox, XM Radio and the kitchen sink into it.
- Council bans goldfish bowls - Council official Giampietro Mosca states resolutely that, “A fish kept in a bowl has a distorted view of reality…and suffers because of this.” [jerk off motion]
- Extreme Engineering: Transatlantic Tunnel - “A magnetically levitated train could theoretically take you from New York to London in 54 minutes. But you’d have to go 5,000 mph through a 3,100-mile-long tunnel that was itself floating in the Atlantic Ocean. How might that work?” MacGyver would simply use a stick of gum and a paperclip to divert the magnetic poles into… Via Mahalanobis.
- Girl goes back to school with Gateway and Dell - The model is quite the two-timer.
- Space Science Pioneer Van Allen Questions Human Spaceflight - Supporters of human spaceflight “defy reality and struggle to recapture the level of public support that was induced temporarily by the Cold War,� van Allen charges.
- You rock my small, self-center universe - Will, the Idiot, linked to some shirts that are cool to look at, but not to wear (as BNH would say, “Girls will still sense that shit 20 years later”). Just say no to cock-blockery.
- Which Annoying B-list Celebrity Are You? - They should add the Chuck Norris personality to the list of possibilities. Via please don’t eat me!
