Amy sez, "Intel has a game on their website called 'The Intel IT Manager Game - The simulation of an IT department.' It's supposed to simulate the tasks of an IT manager, including hiring new people. But guess what? All of the characters are male! You couldn't even hire a woman if you tried, because there are no female characters!! Link (Thanks, Amy!)

Bowling (Green) for Wi-Fi

Bowling (Green) for Wi-Fi 01/17/2004 11:07 PM
Man returns from California with stories of fire, wheel: It's very funny to read this local report about a fellow from the area who was in California for 10 years working in high tech and returned to his hometown. Remember that this is local coverage, and the reporter makes the guy sound like someone who has been to the mountain and returns with these 15...I mean, 10 commandments. The idea is great, and it's in the pre-preliminary stages to put in a very inexpensive cloud of Wi-Fi across downtown Bowling Green. The proposal hasn't been publicly circulated and sounds full of questions about how to make it go; the technical issues are not a problem, however. [via a link at GigaOm]...

Bowling to Vegas

Bowling to Vegas 03/14/2003 01:09 PM
Bowling to Vegas! Four drunk bowling fanatics from Chicago are bowling their way across country....apparently for lack of anything better to do(looks like a couple of them are unemployed). Also, they're trying to restore dignity to the good old-fashioned Road Trip(and, of course, bowling). Why bowl to Vegas instead of fly? As Mike says: "It's not about the destination, it's about the journey. Nobody has respect for the road trip anymore. Haven't you people seen Fandango?" Follow their progress across country, and buy 'em a round.

The Martian meteorite re-examined

The Martian meteorite re-examined 02/10/2004 02:57 AM
Two Australian scientists have developed a new process for examining the controversial Martian meteorite, a stone retrieved from Antarctic ice samples several years ago. This stone shows signs of having been formed on the fourth planet from the sun, and kicked free of Mars' gravity by a tremendous surface impact, causing it to drift through space and eventually fall to Earth. It is believed by some to contain fossilised traces of simple single-celled organisms. These scientists claim their process proves beyond any doubt that those traces are genuine: the meteorite contains evidence of primitive life on Mars many millions of years ago.

Around the Crater in 90 Days

Around the Crater in 90 Days 04/14/2004 02:34 PM

NASA's Spirit rover recently reached it's "Mission Success" point, meeting all the goals that NASA had outlined for the mission. The rover is still doing science and going strong, but the turbo-geeks at JPL marked the occasion with a cool little Quicktime video showing how the rover has done its work over the past 90 days by making a time-compressed sequence of the rover's exploits:

In 90 martian days, NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit has performed a remarkable series of drives, digs and scientific investigations at Gusev Crater, Mars. This video documents many of the rover's accomplishments by stringing together images taken throughout the mission by the rover's front hazard-avoidance camera and microscopic imager instrument.

Sped up like this, it's fun to watch the thing sniff around Mars like an excited collie at the dog park.
