X Prize Claimed
This is really really cool. The X Prize has been won. For those of you living under a rock the X Prize was a competition for a privately financed group to design, build and launch a rocketship. The rocket must be able to reach 100 kilometers into the atmosphere and be able to repeat this trip within two weeks of the original succesful flight. The team that achieves this wins 10 million dollars.
This is just one more step in technological evolution. One more step toward the stars. I think this is a very cool and exciting step towards the future.
WalMart and McBarfold's
I was in Walmart yesterday (yes yes..I know..the bane of existence..I apologize) and decided to check out the electronics section (mainly the new DVDs and video games). As most of you know almost all Walmart's have a McDonald's in the building. That is why I found it funny that Walmart was selling "Supersize Me", a documentary which basically says "McDonald's is the devil" (not really but if you've seen it you know what I mean).
I also suspect that someone in the store had the same reaction to McDonald's food that Morgan did the first time he ate a supersized meal since there was a little puddle of vomit on the ground in the bathroom. Definitely not the nicest thing in the world :)
