L.A. to Vegas Robot Cars
I linked to an article on this earlier this year. Here's another article on the government-sponsored contest where people will try to create vehicles that can cross the desert from L.A. to Vegas without human help. Kinda cool. (news.com)

I suggested this a long time ago...
Mind you, I'm not taking credit for it. You'd have to have an IQ of 5 to not realize that if LeBlanc wanted to do it, that it had a good shot... Cheers spun off Frasier and now Friends will spin-off Joey. Although I'm hoping for a title change. I also hope they move his character to Los Angeles, as a way of explaining why the rest of the friends are gone. Of course, they say they have no intention of using the finale as the launching pad, but doesn't it make sense that it should be? It all started when Rachel burst into Central Perk in a wedding dress, why shouldn't it all end when Joey moves to L.A.? (hollywood.com)

And go ahead and Avoid Sprint PCS in Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill, too... (epinions.com)
Space-saving parking
This is in Venezuela and the way it's written, it's unclear if a flood next to a freeway picked up all the cars and deposited them in a pile, or if people driving next to the flood were distracted and all ran into each other. I figure it's probably the former, but wow, bad writing!
Ooh... da big scary bear!
This polar bear is having a reaction to some medicine. Apparently it was expected and not harmful. But man is it cool. They should change all the animal's colors at the L.A. Zoo for the month of April each year. That would sure bring up attendance.

Wow... Sprint PCS is pretty darn lame in Minneapolis/St. Paul (epinions.com)
Also, I was listening to the radio on the way in and this excited guy is doing a Honda ad. And at the end of the ad he says "Drop by or give us a call at 1-866-POWER-HONDA!"
No, my friend, your phone number is 1-866-POWER-HO and if people want to dial the NDA, that's their own fault for being unable to count.

Patent this, buttmunches!
Pinpoint Incorporated is a lame company that has some really bogus, duh-worthy and just plain stupid patents. They've applied for (and received) business method patents for all manner of customization techniques (such as most frequently requested pay-per-view becomes available more-often through computerized statistical analysis) and now they're going after people like Amazon, just because Amazon shows you products related to the products you've searched for or bought in the past, which they say is covered by one of their patents.

Older Drivers
So there's news now that the guy who killed 10 people by driving through a famer's market in Santa Monica may have been fleeing a hit-and-run accident involving a parked car. *sigh* There was a bill that would require old people in California to be re-tested every two years starting at age 75 to keep their licenses, but it died in committee. This article is a really interesting opinion piece from a woman who realized she needed give up her car. <newsweek via msnbc.com)
