Soviet Space Shuttles final voyage - floating down the Rhine

Sad pictures and videos of the Buran’s retirement voyage.

I beg your pardon, but the museum is not located in Mannheim. As the name indicates, the “Technik Museum Speyer” is located in “Speyer”, just like the “Tower of London” is located in…

Video of Britney Spears on South Park

Very funny clip of the troubled pop princess getting the full treatment from Kyle et al. Enjoy!

Why are we posting this? 1) Because it's funny, despite the typical South Park sledgehammer sermonising, 2) because it's true and it's taught us that, as media consumers, we're all to blame for…

Site helps shoppers find misspelled items

A new site helps shoppers find misspelled items on Craigslist and eBay. The idea is that items with the wrong spellings are hard to find and often generate less interest and fewer bids. If nothing else, it’s fun to see how many ways people can spell “banana.”

A new Web site, typobuddy.com, wants to help bargain hunters take advantage of misspelled items for sale on eBay and craigslist. The idea is that items with the wrong spellings are hard to find and often generate less interest and fewer bids. Some…

Lawrence Lessig on Barack Obama

Lessig gives a 20 minute talk on why he supports Obama for president. Very lucid and informative arguments!

To the person who said they were disappointed by the lack of attention in this video to actual substantive policies: What I got from the video is that Obama’s and Clinton’s proposed policies are so similar that there is very little to…

The Politico: Obama claims delegate lead

Clinton’s opponent captured more states and, by the latest network counts, more delegates.

interesting: Hillary Clinton has been telling America that she is the most qualified candidate for president based on her ‘record,’ which she says includes her eight years in the White House as First Lady - or ‘co-president’ - and her seven years…

Obama and Paul: The Kings of the Web Election

There’s no question this year that Barack Obama and Ron Paul are the kings of US politics on the Internet. They both command the lion’s share of their party’s attention online and seem to dominate social networking and social media sites. So why is only one of those campaigns actually working?

Other progressive organizations are using similar tools. One is called Catalist. It is used by large progressive organizations like MoveOn and the AFL-CIO to microtarget their campaigns. According to Tony DeYoung of Catalyst Resources (unrelated…

Oliver Stone to Direct George W. Bush Biopic

Oliver Stone had hinted at making a feature on the life of the current American president in the past, but who knew it’d come together this quick?

Do they expect this to make money? I could see this as a vanity project, with some wealthy backers putting up the money as a showcase to their political views and kind of a Hollywood status and pr symbol thing. But without them expecting any…
