Researchers using waves to write on water

One of the cooler things I've seen today. I'd love to be able to spit out a unicode character to my pool and see a huge letter 'c' right at the surface...

So Wednesday night I went to the unveiling of the new Tesla Roadster. It is a very, very cool platform - 250HP, making 230 ft/lbs of torque from RPM 0 - 0-60 mph in under 4 seconds. And when you realize that batteries are just getting better and lighter each year, you realize that there is some real potential here for this to be the future of performance cars. They will actually be building these cars on the line with Elises in Hethel, England.

A group of people losers recreate the classic game Space Invaders using stop motion and people.

A Space Invaders rug by Polish artist Janek Simon called Carpet Invaders is a perfect fit for any high-class collecting retro gamer with money to spend losers.

And by losers, I mean people like me. :)

As an American that would like to see more legalized gaming (on and offline), I've found this week's events with BETonSPORTS and Mr. David Carruthers very disheartening. Is this really our biggest problem right now? Is this even a problem at all? I gotta believe that the Red States needed a distraction - a bone to chew on - and this was it.

I really feel bad for David - sitting in an orange jumpsuit in a Texas prison. The week before he was explaining the importance of regulation - how bringing gaming (especially online gaming) into the world of regulation is a good thing for everyone. For operators, punters, the US government, and our tax base.

Don't eat the bologna David - that shit will kill you.

An American Hypocrisy? Bet on It.
