Chevy Vs. Chevy

This is an interesting crash test. A 1959 Chevy Bel Air vs. a 2009 Chevy Malibu. New cars are indeed safer!

REAL Cat Burglar

12 year old Oscar here is a true Cat Burglar. Since Spring he has brought home over 70 items including gardening gloves, underwear, and socks.

He even brings home children's clothes. The thing is that there are no children living anywhere near Oscar's home. He does a fair amount of traveling.

TSA Agents Needed

Your tax dollars at work. The TSA is now advertising for agents on Pizza boxes. At almost $24 an hour, one would think that pizza boxes might not be the best use of their recruiting dollar.

I can see the job application now. I heard about this position saw "on pizza box” :-)

Windows XP Extended Until 2020

What many people do not realize is that 74% of business users still use Windows XP, the nine year old OS. Businesses have no interest in upgrading to Windows 7.

Yesterday Microsoft announced that it would extend licencing of Windows XP until 2020. Unfortunately, this also extends the BSOD surprise for Windows users :-)

The New Darth Vader

Who doesn't know Darth Vader? Most of us grew up with Star Wars. There are even Star Wars marathons on television about once a month. The owners of DKE Toys created the "Vader Project" to allow new artists to demonstrate their creativity with the iconic Darth Vader helmet.

Have a look at some of the creations at Wired Magazine.

Are Libraries Obsolete

I do wonder how much longer we will have general libraries. There will always be room for special collections. Stanford University decided to reduce the physical volume of their Engineering Library down to 10,000 physical volumes from 80,000. All of the removed volumes will be digitized.

More Ultimate GPS!

Although I prefer the earlier Darth Vader Tom Tom voice over, this one is pretty awesome as well!
