Farm Fresh




Mary and I just signed up for local organic fruits and vegetables to be delivered right to our door! It's called Farm Fresh To You, and for only $25 a week you get a fresh delivery of organic veggies. We got a taste of some Farm Fresh food at a friend's house last weekend and it was crazy good and cheap enough that we can afford it. Also, after watching Food Inc. over the holiday's it made me never want to go to a supermarket again.
Just thought I would pass along this find.

So You Think Your Robot Can Dance

Before the Robots entirely take over our planet and turn us into organic batteries to power their intergalactic domination, they will first win all of our reality dance competition shows.



Here is a link to the full article on the Robot Dance Competition held in Japan.

On a related note, the development of "ROS," or Robot Operating System, is in full effect. It is the MSDOS of the emerging robot world. Basically, it is the standardization of computer language that can be used to develop robot functions. As WIRED magazine put it, it allows programmers to swap apps between the Mars Rover and your Roomba. Just what I need, my Roomba sending photos of me playing video games in my boxers to NASA.

My Man Perriello


Tom Perriello makes me proud to call him a friend of my family, and a Congressional representative of my hometown. This small article on Huffpo profile's his "radical" statement that he "didn't come to Congress to get reelected," in the wake of his recent vote for the Health Care Bill.

Give em hell Tom.

Here is a hilarious video of a true baseball story from the 70's.

You Can't Touch This Monkey



Dave Vontesmar, you are my hero.
Dave got so upset by all of the security cameras at stoplights on his way to work that he started driving with a monkey mask on. Now the police are left holding their sack, with 37 tickets and $6500 worth of "revenue" to make up for. The police currently have Dave under surveillance in order to catch him putting his monkey mask on in order to enforce the tickets. I have a better idea...
Stop being the most annoying people on earth and do your job catching real criminals.
