More about the Phoenix lander
From Computerworld this time:
NASA: 'Extreme programming' controls Mars Lander robot
That sounds so much cooler than my job.

T-shirt police
BBC NEWS | UK | England | London | Gun T-shirt 'was a security risk'
Just the latest exercise in government ridiculousness. This comes from the UK, so I don't know why it even surprises me anymore.

Gas at $1.14 Per Litre
CityNews: Motorists Grumble As Gas Prices Reach A Staggering $1.14 Per Litre
That's over $4.25 in US dollars per gallon, according to Google. And it's only scheduled to get worse.
Yay. Anyone want to buy a 1995 Dodge Dakota that gets 17.5 miles per gallon? Anyone?

I guess I'm an introvert... who knew?
I found this article about Instant Messaging for Introverts. Most of it sounds awfully familiar, and helps explain why I'm not such a big fan of the insta-chat programs. Apart from this, I'm just a cranky old Internet user who can't figure out why we ever needed anything more than e-mail, and what the heck is with all this spam anyway? I really wish those darn kids would quit TXTing on my lawn.
Anyway, I noticed there was a link to a Quick Quiz to determine whether you're an introvert or extravert. Obviously this is not a sophisticated diagnostic tool, but it is amusing. Out of 30 possible points, I got 29 for introversion and 1 for extraversion. I suppose that settles it, then.

CityNews: Woman Holds Robber At Bay With Ice Scraper
CityNews: Woman Holds Robber At Bay With Ice Scraper
Good thing that didn't happen in Toronto. They would have arrested the woman for assault and used tax dollars to pay for therapy to help the poor traumatized youth recover from his ordeal.

That's creeeeeeepy
From the "things that are way cooler than my job" department:
New video of BDI's Big Dog robot
I still think something with wheels or treads would be a better solution, but it's amazing to see how fast robotic technology is advancing.
