Lamborghini…
The name alone tells you it’s something exotic and expensive. Yup, I’ll take two!

I watched this with tears in my eyes as I know someone special in my life just like Rick.
A very inspirational video, one you will not forget.

I’m looking forward to this! National Geographic has got a show coming up (Aug 20th) that is called Fight Science.
They have got champion martial arts masters meeting in a place where they get scientific evaluation in all aspects using cutting edge technology.
First time in months that something actually has my interest on television.

For the first time, “Fight Science” brings together members of the crash-test industry, the sports biomechanics industry, and the Hollywood animation industry—applying their combined expertise and technology to a diverse range of martial arts techniques, including karate, kung fu, jiu jitsu, tae kwon do, muay Thai, and wushu, among others. The results reveal the comparative strengths, advantages, and limitations of the various martial arts styles. And in a breakthrough combination of technologies, scientists are able to peer inside a fighter’s body in real time.

There’s plenty of speed testing sites out there, but the best one I have found to date is SpeedTest.net.

Speedtest produces a beautiful GUI that looks like something out of a sports car. Also providing links to display your result for forums (bbcode), hyperlinks or direct links to the image itself. Very cool!

Can you pass it?
Sounds easy right? I thought so. Give it a try!

Found this today and thought it was pretty cool. Coca Cola takes a violent game like GTA (Grand Theft Auto) and puts it’s own spin on it. Definitely worth the view.

Another release for you *ubuntu users out there. I’m an ubuntu newbie with only a few weeks of a full fledged dual boot install on my laptop, and loving every minute. (Psst.. It’s free!)

If you’re a windows person, like me, and want a taste of what Linux is like, then *Ubuntu is the flavor to try! I’ve been playing with it nonstop and having lots of fun with it. The OS has a great community behind it (friendly and willing) and a great resource for learning. They also have Pro-Support available for people who want it.

Over 300 post-release updates have been pre-applied, so that fewer updates will need to be downloaded after installation, and a number of bugs in the installation system have been corrected. These include security updates and corrections for other high-impact bugs, with a focus on maintaining stability and compatibility with Ubuntu 6.06 LTS. We do not expect that certifications against Ubuntu 6.06 LTS will need to be updated for this maintenance release.

Spotted this $13,000, 157 MPG, less than a thousand pound car over at TreeHugger.Com.
Did I mention it runs a 20hp turbo diesel motor? And does 0-60 in 10 seconds? They also have a GT model that ONLY gets 87 MPG. NICE!

I am utterly impressed with this vehicle and wish they had them available here now.
