Fascinating story out of New Zealand.  Yesterday, two Sperm Whales, a mother and calf, became stranded in the shallows on a New Zealand beach.  Despite the best efforts of the local conservation department, it appeared that two would have to be put down.
It was at this moment that a dolphin, named Moko by the locals approached the pair. [...]

Recently the Beijing Times reported that the amazing fireworks show was actually a CGI rendered months before the actual show.  During the opening ceremony a total of 29 firework foot prints appeared in the sky.  Their prefect timing gave the appearance of a giant walking across the sky.  While these fireworks were actually fired off at the ceremony, the majority of the [...]

The idea of using power generated by people exercising at the gym is not a new idea.  Even this unique implementation dates back to 2005, from a gym design contest run by New York Magazine.  On a creative gym concept level, I find the idea interesting.  The concept is that these floating gyms will travel on a predetermined course [...]

Two new sections have gone up.  Technology and Gaming.  I’m not expecting all the articles and new stories out of these two sections to set off any alarms on the unusual scale, but I think they should provide some entertainment.  For the technology section I hope to cover the weird stuff, but take a look at the [...]

On the list of things that might still be alive after a nuclear war or a massive disaster on a planetary scale, the cockroach always seems to rank highest on what might be capable of surviving such a disaster.  This notion has been repeated by popular culture for many years.  However, the cockroach may not be the only bug that is [...]

These were just a few at the top of my bookmark list.  In the future there will probably be less links, but each will have a description.  Right now it looks like I sneezed a bunch of links on to the page.  Links after the jump.

I  just saw this link on digg this morning.  A guy over at ripten had just gotten a new dell laptop and everything seemed peachy until he attempted to set up some audio recoding sessions.  After some searching it was discovered that there were many reports of audio recoding problems on groups of dell laptops an desktops.

Remember that scene in Aliens 2 when the space marines used several automated sentry turrets temporarily hold off a horde of alien xenomorphs?  Well, if this youtube video is any indication this kid has created a near perfect replica using a computer controlled painball gun.  Its accuracy is uncanny, even several attempts to fool the turret with another [...]
