Google launches White Space Offensive with new web site - so much bandwidth out there yet to be used! (why can’t I get my cell to work at my home, yet?)

Time to kick out some olympic sports - I didn’t give you the one with Peyton Manning trying to get American Football in the olympics, but I tend to agree with a lot of these. The medals race was interesting and a sign that there are a lot of “minor” individual events out there - though unfortunate events like the decathlon and others that are less specialized have been demoted in the public eye.

Maker Faire - the science fair for adults! (coming to Austin soon) Make magazine rocks!

NASA - Strange clouds on the edge of space - Noctilucent clouds way way high up!

Lost Temple of Doom Theme Song - this was “found” recently by L B Rayne. I found it catchy and appropriate for my 80s month theme and funny, ok, that’s enough praise that they’ll probably “find” many more now! (Archaeology isn’t all it’s cracked up to be!)

Goblin shark caught on video - whoa, I thought I was almost over my fear of sharks, but the “Aliens” like mandible on this rarely seen creature is crazy!

Japan is working hard on the world’s largest synchrotron. Interesting science, but also of note as the US “falls behind” in its basic research budgets.

Takashi Murakami’s video for Kanye West’s “Good Morning”. Seems rare to see such anime work for Hip-Hop music - both are good!

There’s talk of a new Muppet movie and possible revival of the series (woot!). After more inspection, I uncovered some new Henson studio work on entertainment for adults, including this 10 min “web pilot” for Alien Boot Camp on Logo (one of the gay tv stations) called Tinseltown.

Possible that the world record ($100,000) prime number has been found. But the main reason I have this is to see the strangeness of a math article written for the public (Scientific American). So poorly written - He uses “9.808358 million” which just happens to equal 9,808,358. Also, “French smarty-pants”?

Christopher Lee knows that booze really heals - a funny musical number from the movie The Return of Captain Invincible. If you enjoyed Rocky Horror, you’ll like this! Now where’s my drink?

An old hilarious comedy gymnastics routine from Paul Hunt from a few years ago - a good one to end on - enjoy the holiday!
