Somebody should invent a carpet glue that doesn’t smell so bad. You could make a fortune with a product like that.

What level can you get to? Try this game called Stunt Pilot. I got to level 9 and died.

These three links are interesting mostly because of how reckless it is but stunning because they have the fastest time to cross the United States in a vehicle.

I saw this article and amazing photo of a baby mammoth that was found in Siberia. It really is amazing because it is so well preserved. Click here to see the photo.

What caught my eye was this tidbit, however:

Despite the inherent difficulties, Dr Agenbroad remains optimistic about the potential for cloning.

“When we got the Jarkov mammoth [found frozen in Taimyr, Siberia, in 1997], the geneticists told me: ‘if you can get us good DNA, we’ll have a baby mammoth for you in 22 months’,” he told BBC News.

Now that would be cool! Imagine a mammoth (cloned) walking in a zoo. Now that’s the ultimate attraction for a zoo keeper. Apparently though, it’s really difficult (no kidding).

I ran across an awesome game last night called Desktop Tower Defense. If you do the 10k game see if you can get past level 71, that’s where I died.

How far can you make this little airplane go? My current best is 35.7 45.1, and Tom has passed 40. It’s rather unrealistic but tons of fun.

This video is great.

I received an email on Monday morning from some Ruby on Rails developers and this site for Balloon Brites was included as a portfolio piece. I don’t know where to begin. It’s an awesome product!

Basically, it’s an LED powered light that has a battery and you put it inside of the balloon to light things up.

I showed this site to Don, a friend, and here’s what he said:

Yeah, you could really set your party off with those. “Timmy’s birthday was a real smash hit because of those flashing balloons.”

“Bobby had plain old balloons. Blah.”

I’d like to invest in this company. It could really balloon.
