It is amazing how out of touch McCain is, but it's getting impressive how out of touch McCain's staffers are getting.

Pretend the robopacalypse has begun. Look up and see this lumbering towards you. Just lie down and die, because you lose.

This falls into both the 'Bad Ass Awesome Cool!' category and also the 'Holy Crap Get the Crowbar and Bucket of Water they are Coming!' category. University of Reading scientists have developed a robot controlled by a biological brain formed from cultured neurons.

This is pretty cool. These guys have developed a way to take crappy video and good photos, combining them to make good, higher res video. The results are pretty astounding if you ask me. Considering I used to do some freelance video rendering in college, this would have put me out of a job... I do wonder how automated it really is, since I am guessing you would need to define the target in tree sample for example. But still, wow.

There are few hundred of these things that just suddenly appeared in my yard. They are everywhere. Apparently, they are the White-lined Sphinx, which every few years here, they come out in such quantity that they have caused road closures because of making the roads so slick. They just suddenly appeared, like they came out of the ground or something. Like a freaking zombie movie, but with caterpillars.

If you have been waiting for a solution that allows you to sync your iPhone over-the-air with Google Calendar and Google Contacts in Gmail, you now have a free, EASY AS HELL solution.

Lordy, I do I really do. I keep trying to actually care about facebook, but man, for some reason I just can't get into it. I do my LinkedIn profile about once a week, but facebook just seems to make my brain hurt. I guess maybe I am too busy, or something, but it seem like such a fundemental waste of time. Don't even get me started on twitter...

So your shopping at Fry's Grocery store, you think to yourself it's the Olympics and a nice beer or two would be a good thing to drink while I watch a bunch of people that make me sore just watching them, do absurd feats of skill and power. Maybe something I have never had before?

The US Air Force Office of Scietific Research (where all the big AF nerds take apart the UFOs) has developed a transparent nano coating that repels water.

You know how you overcome the sucky processing power of a mobile device that you want to display fairly realistic, realtime, 3d scenery on? You render it at the server, and then stream the rendered video down to the phone, that's how.
