You may or may not have listened to this, but just put on some headphones. This is very cool! Try it.

Frozen Waves in Newfoundland
As the water hits the shore, it turns to ice.
Coolest thing about this video is the Newfy accent. It cracks me up!
I copied these quotes from another forum.
Over dere.. look!
See where the ice is too now, b’y.
She’s coming in strong now my son!
Lord thundering Jesus!Now look at buddy there, walking around in his shorts and T-shirt like it’s downtown St.John’s.
Where’s his mind to, I wonder? (From about 4:06 in the video)I wouldn’t trust the feller who took those pictures.
He’d screw another man’s daughter if he had the chance.
I know I have some Newfies patrolling my site, so if you could add a little quip or a quote, that would be cool!
Outsmarting your right foot
Ok, I tried this and failed.
Y’all have to try this please, takes 2 seconds
This will boggle your mind and you will keep you trying over and over again to see if you can outsmart your foot, but, you can’t. It’s pre-programmed in your brain!
- Without anyone watching you (they will think you are GOOFY……) and while sitting where you are at your desk in front of your computer, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.
- Now, while doing this, draw the number “6″ in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction.
I told you so!!! And there’s nothing you can do about it! You and I both know how stupid it is, but before the day is done you are going to try it again, if you’ve not already done so.

They are developing a cartoon at Michelle’s work and Michelle plays a pretty blonde haired Asian girl.
Lego Robot Solves the Rubik’s Cube
This is really cool!
Planning to build a Lego Rubik’s cube solver ( LRU from now on ), I obviously had to face the inheritance of a great robot of the RCX era,
JP Brown’s Lego Rubik Solver. He used 2 RCX, many motors and sensors, a webcam, a custom interface program on PC and already-done sub-optimal algorithm found on web at that time.
I studied the situation, having now a more powerful hardware, and
a self-made software that solves the cube optimally (the solution, if found, is the shortest possible), and I came up to the first design, showing right here.
You can notice that is quite inspired by JP Brown’s robot. Even if it misses an arm, it can grab, rotate the cube and a single face. The overall impression is about a cool streamlined robot, but it do not work so well and it is very slow, it takes 2’10″ to scan the entire cube.
Main mechanical features are optical zeroing on both wrists and a torque-based limit switch on both grabbers (using servomotor overload detection); grabbers use the new rubber elements to emprove the grip.
It uses 2 NXT bricks (communicating via Bluetooth), 4 servomotors and 2 light sensors.
The Invisible Rope
This is a neat gag you and 2 or 3 of your friends can play on passing cars next time you are bored.
