Andy Milonakis - Crispy New Freestyle

Andy Milonakis recently experienced a few seconds in the national spotlight for his freestyle rap, Crispy New Freestyle. At first, I thought to myself that this 12 year old would soon be in foster care (after his parents saw the video) but with a little help from Google I started to realize that this Milonakis kid is a trash-media mogul of sorts. Take a look at Angry Naked Pad, Andy has produced numerous videos. I even heard rumor that he's closer to 27 years old. Strange, the flash-pan celebrities the Internet incubates.

The Meatrix

What is the Meatrix

I saw Matrix - Revolutions last week; frankly, I found this spoof on the Matrix, the Meatrix, more exciting. I try to keep the meat eating to a minimum and when I do eat meat I try to stick to organic free-range chicken or turkey - this piece reinforces my motivation.

DARPA - Grand Challenge

DARPA Grand Challenge

DARPA, the U.S. Defence Department's research outfit, is hosting a Mad Max like dessert race from Los Angeles to Las Vegas early next year called the Grand Challenge. 20 or more (the total number of allowed participants is being debated) automated ground vehicles will have to make their way over a 300-mile dessert course in a specified period of time. The winner gets $1 million dollars and it probably won't stop with that. Cool. Add a few tanks in the middle of the course (manned by eager reservists) and this event could topple the WWF.
