Monday Madness?

by Leave a Comment

It’s Monday and it’s time to get mad. Well, not really. It’s great to be hydrated and back in the land of the living. wash your hands and don’t eat poop.

First, the University of Michigan has created the COM-BAT. What is it? It’s a six inch robotic spy plane shapes like a, well, you know, a bat. Pics and coolness.

I like LEGOs. I like Assassin’s Creed. Chocolate and peanut butter. Take a leap of faith.

Please try the demo to Trials 2. I bet you’ll buy the game. If anything, watch the video. It’s…neat. Physics.

Spirit, the Mars Rover left to die before it’s time? I don’t think many will disagree that these rovers were probably some of the greatest engineering ever done by and for NASA. Godspeed, Spirit.

Finally, a car maker does something cool for the gamer crowd. The Pontiac G8 meets Spy Hunter. I love the Peter Gunn theme.

Monday Madness? Not Today

I spent most of the day yesterday in a hospital hooked up to an IV and getting pain medication. Needless to say, today is a day of rest. I shouldn’t even be online now. Back in a few.

Monday, er, Tuesday Madness?

Now, that my self-imposed internet ban is over I figured I should post this week’s Monday Madness…on Tuesday. Oh, in case you’re wondering how I have links that I’ve supposed to have found over the week, well, I have my ways.

Baseball. I love it. The season’s just starting. Want to know the differences between pitches? I found this by Lokesh Dhakar (of Lightbox fame) via here and then monkeyPi. It’s a bunch of illustrated baseball pitches.

Let’s continue our party with Helen Keller. I’m a sucker for inspiring stories. It appears that someone has found a rare image of Helen and her tutor Anne Sullivan that reflects their relationship (via CNN). A picture is worth a 1,000 words.

I think my two boys alone have added at least 1,000 views to this great video of my three favorite muppets singing Danny Boy. It’s bookmarked on the Wii.

There’s a new way (to me) of running an aquarium called aquascaping. I have a 20 gallon in my office now. However, I want to do this or this. Just amazing. An ecosystem of it’s own. [More images].

Lastly, while in my self-imposed internet ban, I had to do something. I bought a new car. Come on, spring!
