And this is my new iOS4 home. mmm…
Installing iOS4, yay :)
I hope it doesn’t mess with anything.
The belief that there was nothing, and nothing happened to nothing, and then nothing magically exploded for no reason creating everything, and then a bunch of everything magically rearranged itself for no reason whatsoever into self-replicating bits which then turned into dinosaurs.
Makes perfect sense.
responses I pondered when this post showed up in my saved tumblr tag searches :
1. you embarrass yourself… and humanity.
2. with thinkers like this among us it’s no wonder Palin is makin’ bank.

Cockroach pimps a sweet ride via Hack-A-Day
Bio-hacking cockroaches?!!?!?!
This giant Madagascar hissing cockroach rides proudly atop his three-wheeled robotic platform. This project from several years ago is new to us and our reaction to the video after the break is mixed. We find ourselves creeped out, delighted, amazed, and saddened.
The cockroach controlled robot uses a trackball type input. A ping-pong ball is spun by a cockroach perched on top. The lucky or tortured (depending on how you look at it) little bug has an array of lights in front of it that illuminate when obstacles are in front of the robot. The roach’s natural aversion to light should make it move its legs away from that part of the display, thereby moving the robot away from the obstruction.

The beach was lined with thousands of people from all over the world with lanterns ready to be set afloat with the names of, and words written to their loved ones who have passed.
