Audi’s Robotic Car Drives Better Than You Do | Autopia | Wired.com Driverless car will drive to the top of Pike's Peak . I don't know if you can see how sheer the drop offs there are, but there are some spots where you do not want to make any mistakes. I haven't raced up it, but have driven up a couple of times.

Denver International Beer Festival set for June - Denver Restaurants and Dining - Cafe Society We already have the Great American Beer Festival held every fall, but now someone wants to start another in the spring? What say you?

While today was nothing special, it wasn't bad... or at least it wasn't until I called my roommate to se if she would beat me home (so I could tell her to go ahead and feed the dogs). I know she doesn't handle stress that well and definitely doesn't like it when people disagree with her, but she doesn't have to take her irritation out on me all the time. She threw a small tantrum just because I called to see if she would be home before me, tonight. You see, normally I am home or get home first because I am unemployed, but today I was busy and wasn't sure if I would get home first. She got very perturbed that I even bother to call her to let her know I didn't feed the dogs before I left and ended up frustratedly asking me: "What exactly did you call me for?" To see who would be home first. Just like I said three times now. I need to find a job so I can move out. It's just that simple.

Am I the only one who buys/rents/borrows DVD movies that'll interest the dog too? I mean, I have rented TV shows about dogs or wolves and borrowed a season of MEERKAT MANOR from the library. Well, today I was at the library and borrowed a DVD movie called SQUIRREL WARS: and How to Win Them. Specifically because my dog loves chasing squirrels. Am I the only one? Really?

Biohabitats | Leaf Litter Improving the living areas of urban regions is vital to the ecology, the environment and to the psychology of the people living in these regions. I am a huge environmentalist and agree with many of the points made in this article. We should strive to be good stewards of the land, hoping for a future of prosperity not expecting some sort of religious rapture and therefore allowing the environment to dwindle away.

5 Free Ways to Identify that Song Stuck in Your Head This would rarely work for me as I can ever only remember two songs: "Happy Birthday" and "Hail to the Chief." Now if only there was a website or service to help me remember words. Ever had a word stuck on the tip of your tongue? You can see it, you know how many syllables are in it and you might be able to visualize some of the letters, but it just doesn't make sense to you .... That happens to me a lot. Now that would be helpful!

How are we supposed to bring "enlightenment" to the devloping nations when we're in need of it ourselves. Maybe no one told these manufacturers that the U.S. military is comprised of people of all faiths and none and they're alienating Mulslim, Jewish, Buddhist, Atheist, etc. troops by forcing them to carry Biblical verses. As a veteran I'm appalled and I'd refuse to carry one for that reason alone. 'Jesus Guns': U.S. Troops in Afghanistan Still Carry Rifles Inscribed With Bible Codes - ABC News

Little Green Footballs - What Racism at the Tea Parties? For anyone who has bothered reading my posts, you guys know I have little to no respect for the Tea Party mostly due o their own actions and the pushing ignorance of policy instead of education of policy. But this one takes the cake. We're not racists, says TeaParty.org founder -- the same man who had his picture taken while holding a racist sign. Have people not realised yet that there is no such thing as private or incognito or anonymous with the speed with which information travels these days? Especially if you're like this guy or a politician or an actor -- someone who seeks out publicity -- you're being watched, moron. If you're going to hold a sign at a "political protest" decrying a racial slur, don't go in front of a journalist and say you're not a racist. It just makes you look dumber than the Texas flag shirt does.

Social media changing how the military operates - wtop.com Wow! The DoD doesn't normally embrace outside communications like this and we've seen over the last few years how much they've tried to stem the tide of social media for the troops abroad and at home. Now it seems as though they have reconsidered, probably based upon the vast numbers of Facebook, MySpace and Twitter accounts out there already operated by military personnel. Being a veteran I'm glad they've reconsidered. There's nothing like talking to people back home or old friends from around the world to keep the psyche in check which deployed to stressful situations. In my day the internet was fledgling and I remember making phone calls from Bosnia to my parents and friends back home via a backdoor from the tactical network to the civilian telecom networks. We got away with this for a while before the Army tried to put a stop to it citing a $4, $40 or $400 (I can't recall the exact number as i...

So, as we've seen from earlier posts today, I was having some severe Gmail problems which I don't normally have. I had my friend who is on the same wifi network login and she could do so just fine. I booted up a WinXP box and I could login just fin in WinXP in both Chrome and FireFox. Disgruntled, I booted back into Linux and tried Firefox in lieu of Chrome (which I have been using almost exclusively). Lo and behold! It worked! A quick Google search (notice how it's not an 'internet search' anymore, but rather a 'Google Search') resulted in no one really having the same problems I was having in my Linux distro and Chrome. However, Twitter showed a few people having problems as well. Oh well. I guess I'm using FireFox for now. I'll give Chrome another try in while.

Obama's Recess Appointments: GOPers Raging Now, Welcomed Process Under Bush Ahhh yes, Republican obstructionism and short-sighted memory. How easy it is to forget how normal and necessary moves like this were when your golden boy was in the executive chair and now when you're not a fan of the President this is somehow despicable and cowardly. Why is the GOP a bunch of short-memoried cry-babies when they're not getting their way?

Afghan enemies using iPhone as a weapon | Tech News on ZDNet Well, the Australian Department of Defense chief technology office seems to think so. This could be abused on any phone system, but the fact that it's the Apple iPhone, the darling of the mobile tech field, that makes this so ironic. I wonder why this didn't make mainstream media? Did Apple's PR/damage-control teams circumvent this already?

at&t to block Android phones from installing software that doesn't come from th Android Market thus going 180 degrees from the "open" platform that is Android. ANDROID GUYS We all expect Apple and at&t to do this but the whole idea about Android is that it's open . With news like this, I'm so glad I left at&t last year. They already had horrible customer service and plans that were highway robbery, but now they want to take away your right to have your phone the way you want it. Which is their prerogative, however, if that's the case, shouldn't at&t stay away from "open" technology? Shouldn't they purge themselves of technology that encourages open use? Does anyone know Google's reaction to this? Probably not negative since this will be their second Android phone on at&t's network at at&t's rules.

So, for some reason Gmail decided to stop working for me. I can't get to it by typing "gmail.com" or through the links at the top of any Google screen or through "google.com/accounts" or through "google.com/profile." No Gmail, no Buzz. Blogger seems to be working and so does Reader; however the "Blog This!" widget on my Chrome browser isn't opening Blogger. I haven't tried accessing Picasaweb and everything else seems to be working fine (ie: Facebook, Twitter and iGoogle. Weird, huh?

Comments Online Often Manufactured by Special-Interest Groups|State Bill Colorado Well duh.... I would have thought this would be common knowledge about now. Seriously? I had this idea 8 or 9 years ago ... you know, before anyone thought to use the internet for campaign and PR work. Sure there were websites and forums, but I thought a campaign or special interest would do good to have interns and volunteers troll the internet making comments and starting threads supporting their cause. I also thought it would a be a good idea for customer service reps to peruse fansites either officially or unofficially. I know a lot of companies have their own "support forums" these days, but a few years ago it wasn't as popular as it is now. But no one listens to me... :(

Love, sex and the male brain - CNN.com Men and women are different ... who would have guessed? Seriously, I can honestly say that I have been able to relate to most of this.

Feds Using Fake Online Profiles To Spy On Suspects I'm not sure how I feel about this. One the one hand, officers go undercover all the time to nab suspects, on the other this is highly unethical. I would think there needs to be an active case against someone and a court subpoena in order to violate someone's privacy whether it's in the home or behind a password protected account. But I'm not a legal expert. What say you? For the people who support patriarchal societies, the policing agencies and government officials can do no wrong, but for those of us who believe in lateral societies, the police are not always moral, ethical or just as much as we'd like to wish they were.

GameCrush lets gamers pay to play with girls | News.com.au So very very sad that there is even a market for something like this. I remember, at my last job, there was a guy there, a few years older than me, so pushing 40, who did nothing but talk about World of Warcraft (WoW). He even took his paid time off to play WoW and ran a couple of fan-sites for the game. I remember asking him a couple of times if he wanted to go out with me and my friends to bars and clubs: it'll be a chance to meet women, I told him. He politely declined. But I bet he'd be the target market for this kind of inter-active game playing. And the sad part is, he's not alone. While I don't know too many people that lean this way, I know, through six-degrees of separation, a lot of people this might apply to. People are paying real cold hard cash to buy e-money to for their characters to use on games, there's even money exchanges for this, so why not paying to play with real (let's hope n...

GOP Senators Refusing To Work Past 2PM, Invoking Obscure Rule First they try stalling and delaying tactics to prevent HCR from passing. As a party, the GOP decided to not work with President Obama or congressional democrats on anything including HCR. But, when they didn't get their way, as a party they've decided to use an obscure rule to stop work altogether. Now, did the Dems not just use an obscure rule to pass HCR? Absolutely, but after a year of trying to work with congressional republicans who were stonewalling any legislation that dealt with HCR. However, like the babies throwing a temper tantrum they've decided to take their toys and go home. Or more accurately, to take their selves and leave. What other job has this option? If I'm mad at my place of work for instigating a policy I don't like, I don't have the option of leaving early.

Fort Worth, TX Candidate Training American Majority The American Majority, a conservative PAC, wants to train young conservative candidates on how to win elections. Knowing the nuts and bolts of political campaigning is one thing, but having a message that resonates with people is another.

Daytrip: Denver Wineries I remember when I lived in Europe going to my first wine festival in Baden Wurttenburg (or -berg, I forget). And then while wrapping up college here in Colorado I took a course on Enology. That's a right, a whole semester of tasting wines from around the world. I mean, there was more to it than just the tasting, but the tasting was the most fun. ;) Colorado, not really known for it's wines like northern California and Oregon, had a burgeoning wine industry. Mostly located in the west, on the Western Slope, but Denver's in the game as well. If you're a wine aficianado, or just curious about what Colorado has to offer, then this might be for you. Happy hunting!

Denver Brewery Tours I moved to Denver after visiting a friend here upon completion of my active duty Army time. One of the reasons I moved here was because of how the area reminded me of living in Germany. You see, in Germany each town has it's own signature flavor with regions sharing a type of beer. For example, in the area I lived in krystalweissen was popular even though I thought it tasted horrible, much preferring a nice hefeweissen instead. In Denver in seemed as though each bar/brew pub had it's own signature flavor. Sure, there was Coors and the fledgling New Belgium Brewery, but there is also the Rock Bottom, Flying Dog, CB&Potts flavors, Sandlot Brewery and many many others. It's great to know that there are many different flavors although I prefer a nicely aged single malt over hops and barley any day, but occasionally a nice flavorful beer (read: not mass produced American lagers) is good on the tongue. Enjoy the tours if you're so inclined!

Chinese official blasts Google | Tech News on ZDNet I'm no expert on Chinese economics, but in the U.S.A. companies have a right not to enter certain markets if they don't want to. Unless it's considered a primary service people can't live without such as telephone service in states where it's not profitable to enter otherwise. However, I'm sure other search engines, image hosting services, blogging and everything else Google offers is available in China without Google.

Expense Reports That Don't Suck! - Expensify Well, isn't that nifty. Too bad I'm not working...

So, on Twiiter, I've been seeing a weird, unexplainable, trend lately. On Twitter people have been @ing themselves. For example, one such person has three tweets in a row where he @'s himself: earthXplorer: @earthXplorer awesome pics you have tweeted:) lovely! /via @kukigrewal -- thanks!! Why? Why are people doing this? Is it from a Twitter client, or are they really addressing a tweet to themselves? It's like sending yourself an email or regular mail. It just doesn't make sense to me.

At White House, Biden’s Expletive Caught on Open Mike - The Caucus Blog - NYTimes.com What's the big deal? Are we supposed to believe that once someone is elected they're not going to swear anymore?

I have a friend, who right after the vote for HCR last Sunday stated on Facebook that she was worried this new bill was going to take away her private insurance, bankrupt her family and prevent her kids from being covered. I politely explained she had nothing to worry about since all of her fears were unfounded in the current form of the bill. She recently posted something on another friend's FB page stating how the HCR public option would put her family out of insurance and they'd never get to see a doctor due to Obama 'death panels." And it made me wonder, how, when there is non-stop news and HCR coverage people could still be so much in the dark. She seemed much re-assured when our mutual friend echoed my own statements about the current law's format, but it shocked me to know that intelligent people could be so clueless. I can only assume she was listening to the GOP flunky naysayers and no one else. Stop watching FOX News people. They don't want you ...

This is not the first time this has happened but it's definitely the most annoying. I am using iGoogle and have the TwitterGadget as well as the Blogger gadget for easy access. Normally I'm in the middle of a Tweet or something when the iGoogle page refreshes on it's own and I lose the Tweet. No worries, it's 140 characters. But this time, I was in the middle of a Blogger post when the page refreshed and I lost everything. If iGoogle going to push me away?

Apple - MobileMe - Your iPhone, Mac, and PC. In perfect sync. I don't have one single Apple device, but rather am running Linux at home and Android on the go.

What do you think?

You know how annoying it is to have someone send out a Tweet with a link to some information which takes you not to that information, but to a blog or a Friendfeed or a HootSuite link which then gives you a link to the actual information you were promised in the first place? Does this annoy you, too? For example, I follow someone on Twitter calling himself: @MusicSceneDenver. recently, he or they put out a tweet: musicdenver: St. John's Cathedral Choir http://is.gd/aKIjJ Fine. But when I hit the link and it takes me to your Blogger page and that page has no information on it other than a link to Westword's music page, I have to wonder why I'm following you in the first place. Why not just cut out the middle man and follow Westword directly? I see this often and using Twitter to direct traffic to your blog or website is fine in my book, but to not even make a blog post about it just smacks of spam. I tend to stop following people who do this because it's very irrita...

Just had to "unfollow" my first Buzzer. Nothing personal, but it seems as though his website was just pushing all their articles onto Buzz and with 25,000+ followers and Buzz's annoying habit of placing the most recently commented on topics at the top, I wasn't able to see anyone else's Buzzes. If I wanted to read nothing but articles from this user, then I'll subscribe to that website's RSS feed on Reader. And then there's the fact that this user was only following 6 people. Following 6 and followed by tens of thousands? Seems like it was just another venue to clutter my Buzz and my inbox.

Is cutting Saturday mail self-defeating? - CNN.com I don't think Mr. Greene understands what he's writing here... or maybe, he understands he's speaking to the choir. People who read CNN.com are already people who get their news from the internet. They're probably people who spend a lot of time emailing or a lot of time perusing RSS feeds. What they are not are people who work and live in rural areas, people who are too poor to afford a computer and internet or the elderly who do not want to assimilate into a computer centered world. I am the last person to suggest cutbacks to keep an entity afloat, but we're not talking about a for profit company here, we're talking about a federally funded (read: tax payer subsidized) organization. If cutting a slow service day down would save money, then I say do it. As far as the article above mentions, we're not talking about closing postal offices or reducing the workforce, we're talking about cutting Saturday...

Yesterday was cold and snowy. We had about 8 inches of snow in the metro area and a high temperature of somewhere around 25 degrees Fahrenheit with firm winds. I took the dogs (mine and my roommate's) to the dog park for an hours or so and they had a blast -- much more so than I did. Today, it's sunny and while not warm, the clear skies and springtime Sun definitely takes the edge off the air. As I left this morning to meet my friend at the dog park my truck slipped and slid on the neighborhood street and I was trapped in traffic for 20 minutes (of a 1.5 mile stretch) as some cars were in a slip'n'slide and were blocking a lane of traffic. By the time I got to the dog park, the interstate was still moving below the posted speed limit and the snow was clumped on the pavement. By the time I left the dog park, about an hour later, the interstate was free of snow and ice. Woot! One of the nice things about Denver. The snow doesn't stick around too long after it f...
