First few minutes (in SC) are best… the studio portions with Bill Maher kind of drag.

Happy New Year!
With a few minutes left to go (local time) in the first day of 2008… 🙂
Despite the name, it’s safe for work.
(it’s a joke, people.)
edit – 2017 Oct 16 – whatever that once was, the link now redirects to the webcomic in general, and the comic at present is no longer safe for work. Still looks funny on a very cursory glance.
I want my solar-powered Zeppelin!
Solar Energy Cheaper than Coal?
That new technique involves using a device very much like an ink-jet printer to lay down the components of a photovoltaic cell onto a thin sheet of aluminum. The cells are much thinner, lighter, and much less fragile than older silicon cells. The result is solar energy that is expected to cost around $1 a watt for the raw panels, and $2 a watt for an installed system. At that price, solar power is directly competitive with the cheapest and most polluting of fossil fuels.
Cheap is great news for the environment. “Much thinner, lighter and much less fragile” is even better. I’m wondering how thin and light these have to get for solar powered aviation to be possible…?

“In Googlis non est…”
…looks like it now applies to their acquired property of Youtube:
Yes, it’s the famous “in the [butt]” answer from the Newlywed game (and yes, they also have the exploding whale, Bush Sr. puking on the Prime Minster of Japan, and much, much more.)
How to make bacon
my sisters got me a book on home meat-curing for my birthday, the simply, yet fancily-named Charcuterie. Beyond its appeal as a potential source of deliciousness, the book is stuffed full of great pencil drawings of one of my favorite subjects: meat preparation. Sausage, Prosciutto, Jamon Serrano, Saucisson Sec, and that staple of every Iowan’s diet, sweet, sweet bacon. Home-made bacon. Made … at home. By you. Holy. F-ing. Shit.
OMFG that looks tasty.
That dog sure loves the wii!
