The Police Are Coming(?)

I'd love to go see this:

Police Reunion At Grammys

Apparently there will be 80 live dates to follow.

They are going to make soooo much money.

Gamer Fantasy Now A Reality: Railguns

I ran across this article in one of the forums I frequent:

Railguns For The Navy

Yes, railguns. For those of you that don't know what a railgun is, it is a gun that fires a metal slug or projectile with electrmagnetic power. It uses two rails supercharged with electricty to magnetically propel the bullet.

According to the article, the technology has progressed rather quickly. This thing will be mounted on warships like canons. It will have a range of 250 nautical miles and will hit the target in about 6 minutes. The trajectory of the round will take it 95 miles into the air, just into space, and back down again.

Eventually, they will be able to put electronics into the round and guide it with a GPS system.

Stuff And More Stuff

Children's sign language - I've seen little tidbits about this stuff here and there. I saw my cousin's child (what does that make me... hell, I don't know) doing this in person. Pretty fascinating. I guess it's an easy way to communicate with your child before they can speak.

Remember that post about how NOT to run a webhosting company and how the thread is up to 65 pages. Well, it has hit 93 pages and it is STILL going.

Word to the wise. Do not go on a road trip with your brothers after a pot of chili the night before. Further word to the wise, do not stop at Taco John's for lunch during said road trip. Yet another word, do not stop at Starbuck's coffee after said lunch after said pot of chili the night before during said road trip.

We still have our Christmas tree up. We suck.
