Marines Already Have Transformers – VIDEO

With Transformers:Revenge of the Fallen out in theaters, weapons of destruction are pretty cool to watch on the big screen. Wouldn’t it be nice if we already had some of that technology available to us for real? Perhaps we do. Check-out this video we uncovered of a the F-35B fighter jet that does a little bit of transforming of its own.

I finally watched the movie tonight at IMAX. Definitely the way to see it! Very good movie, but even less kid friendly than the first one.

Be A Donor and Save a Life – Marrow.org

Be A Donor and Save a Life – Marrow.org

A friend of mine from college is fighting for her sister that’s fighting her own epic battle with cancer. She recently sent an email out to friends and family requesting they help in the battle by doing a simple little task.

The email was a simple statement of what it would take to save someone’s life. Here’s some of the email. I don’t think I could say it any more clearly myself.

Giant Sea Worm Ravages Newquay Aquarium

I’ve been a fish geek since I was a little boy. Every since I snuck a peak at a Christmas gift one year that was a 3.5 gallon aquarium. My mom found out I peaked and to keep things a surprise she gave that tank to my older brother and I ended up getting a 10-gallon tank instead.
Therefore, it was with a bit of heightened interest as I read this article about a giant sea worm ravaging a coral reef enclosure and exhibit.
Matt Slater, the aquarium’s curator, said: ‘Something was guzzling our reef but we had no idea what, we …read more

1,474 Megapixel Inauguration Image

Who are these people? They were all in attendance as Barack Obama became our nation’s 44th president. What’s impressive though is the photograph that this little picture came from.

The image above is a SERIOUSLY reduced image of what is originally a 1,474 MP image that was taken on inauguration day. See the little red box I’ve put in there on the far right? That’s the approximate location of the original image above zoomed in to view.
You can see this photo in all it’s detail and glory at the Gigapan.org website.

Mark left a comment on one of my earlier posts about The Facebook Song and provided a link to this video of the history of the Internet. He originally linked to the video on YouTube, but I prefer the quality of vimeo instead.
