Smart Car Beats Ferrari in 400m Dragrace

I don't have a lot of background info on this or anything, I can't say if the smartcar was ...errr... *augmented* in any way, but still... wow.


Watch a $20,000 fuel efficient eco-car blow past a $750,000 powerhouse.

Wikipedia Fun

How many of us have actually spent time contributing to Wikipedia? In all honesty, its pretty rare that any of us will spend an extended period of time actually contributing (constructively) to this wonderful resource. Well, to continue with my bored streak, I did some Wikipedia work. Its odd how much more difficult Wikipedia is to use over other wikis like MoinMoin, not complaining of course, just noting. (Although, I will admit, it runs significantly faster).

Well, either way, feel free to take a look at my uneventful user page.
Or if your feeling way cooler, drop me a line at MyTalk Page.

Dashboard and Beagle

So I've had a somewhat uneventful day (after physics that is). And after getting bored and frustrated with beagle's Thunderbird backend, it seemed like time to explore another project. So, I started hacking together the beginnings of some good old fashioned plugins. You can follow/collaborate here if your interested. But for those of you that want the concise version:

• I have started work on 2 frontends, Gaim and Firefox
• The gaim one may not work at all (it seems that the mono bindings for gaim never really happened like they were planned).
• The firefox plugin should more or less work (leaning towards the more side even) I just need some more firefox-literate person to look over it and figure out why some of the packaging doesn't seem to be correct. (I think all the code is fine ;) ).
