It's Gnus to Me!

I gotta hit the slopes soon. Check out Big Bear's Streaming Web Cam (it changes about every minute)

For all you Disney fans out there. Check out the Virtual Toad project. A CGI reconstruction of Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.

Truth in Advertising

The Calvin Pelorian Cat Project. A very fancy way of saying dress your cats up and take pictures of them.

Nothing too exciting for me at this years Detroit Auto Show. I usually love the concept cars but this year they're a bit of a disappointment. Nothing very original. I do like the Jeep Gladiator, nice retro styling in a beefy short bed pickup. But Ford has to be the biggest ripoff artist. The Ford SYNus (sinus? hello?) just looks like an armored Scion (made by Toyota) and the Ford Fairlane is a souped up Mini Cooper (made by BMW). It looks like their R&D folks could use some fresh ideas.

In Other Gnus
Went to an SLDN fundraiser Saturday, which the missus co-chaired. I thought Dixon was joking when he mentioned the pentagon's rejected chemical weapons plan but apparently not. Your tax dollars at work folks...

The funniest line of the day? When a speaker was addressing Article 125 of the UCMJ and explained that each act of sodomy carries a 5 year prison penalty. "For instance, if you did it twice in one night, that would be 10 years." To which an older gentleman standing next to me wryly whispered into my ear "God, I wish..." I had to stifle my snicker. It was good (and successful!) event for one of my favorite organizations.

In other other gnus... Anyone else catch NBC's "star studded" tsunami benefit? Good gauze, could Madonna have butchered John Lennon's "Imagine" any worse? I thought my ears were bleeding.
