This is pretty cool. It’s a series of videos touring the International Space Station.

Neat stuff, at least to a geek like me.

Two stories this week concerning our increasingly mechanized military.

The first one involves self-driving supply trucks that allow the humans riding in it to spend their time looking for roadside bombs.

Personally, I’d reverse the roles but it’s progress I guess.

Next story is a tad scarier. The Brits have basically built a Cylon Raider which they call the Taranis. Read up on it here.

So, um, Skynet may not have been so fictional, eh?

So, um, now you know how Google works.

Republicans shouldn’t be allowed on the internet. Don’t believe me? Here is my latest example. Seriously, every time these clowns roll out a new internet initiative, it fails stupendously.

This just goes along with other things conservatives should be kept from. Like bombs, children, science, education, etc.

Granted I still use floppies to a limited extent, mostly while ghosting fresh images quickly. So, while a tad premature, here’s a send off to a very nearly dead technology.

We’re not out of the woods yet. According to Richard Clarke, we are woefully unprepared for the next phase in electronic warfare.

No doubt “electing” a Talibangelical Luddite didn’t help.

Here is Clarke on The Rachel Maddow Show going further into this:

A tempting conundrum:

Wow. It’s fun to see progress happen before your very eyes. Here is a great example.

If we ever get to close on a home of our own (something that apparently is going to elude us here in Vegas), I really want to do something like this.
