Heh... cool. It's French too - Daft Punk should use it for a video ;)

I love the USAF. F22 + F35 = total air dominance!

Oh .. check out the helmet the pilot uses for the F35.

I recently came across this Instant Messenger client that supports:
* MSN
* AIM
* ICQ
* Y!
* GoogleTalk
* Gadu-Gadu

What I find to be most excellent about this client - is it runs great on Windows Mobile (5 and 6); has a really good GUI; and supports both voice in the IM and video (but only to other Palringo clients I assume).

I don't run this on my desktop (at least not yet) - but it is my cell phones exlusive client now - I highly recommend it for your Symbian/Java/or Windows based phone.

Akira/motorcycle fans --> This link is from February; but take a look at this bike! From what I read, Leo DiCaprio is going to star in the live action movie of Akira - which sounds cool; but look at this bike....

This newer motorcycle armor (by Dainese) has an airbag system. My worry would be - What if it deployed on accident? I could see myself riding into work on my R1, my motorcycle airbag being deployed, and then I wreck because of that and get run over by an 18-wheeler.

Check out the two videos though - pretty slick!

Interesting story on how our government is trying to protect us from Nukes... One could take this as an invasion to privacy - I personally like the idea; but perhaps the technology needs to be tweaked a little to not pick up radioactive cats.

Welcome to Mars express: only a three hour trip

This sorta' makes me wish I was born 20-50 years from now, so this was more of a reality.

If you think about how far we've come in the 1900's.... then hopefully before the end of the 2000's we'd have this technology and it'd be mainstream.

WASHINGTON — House lawmakers approved legislation early Monday that would complete the transition to all-digital television broadcasts by Feb. 17, 2009.

These guys are sooo slow.

I hear they are also approving legislation that would complete the transition from 8-tracks to a MUCH smaller and more compact format called Cassette Tapes.

TEHRAN, Iran — Hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has banned Western music from Iran's radio and TV stations, reviving one of the harshest cultural decrees from the early days of the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

The majority of Iranians are young and probably are not happy with this decision - which will only bring more resentment towards their government.

On the other hand, American Military enthusists like me get to beat the drums of war just a little louder today.
