We’re in Austin

Posted by: Dave In: Science| Technology| Travel

We arrived in Austin in record time (around 2 hours and 15 minutes).  Would have been faster but we hit traffic leaving Houston.
Headed out to find some dinner.  Looking forward to the Maker Faire tomorrow.  I’ll try to post some photos here tomorrow and Sunday.
Have a good weekend, everyone.

Flying pigs announce: Hell freezes over

Posted by: Dave In: Colorado| Sports

HOLY SHIT THE COLORADO ROCKIES ARE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES!
I am shocked and don’t have much to say other than I REALLY hope they win the series.  I’m not a huge sports fan (I had to add “sports” as a tag just for this post), but I consider them my hometown team and would [...]

Creepiest clock I’ve ever seen

Posted by: Dave In: Health| Web| Weird

Not sure how accurate this clock is, but it is filled with very disturbing information.  I think the injuries counter should move much faster…especially in movies and sitcoms.  I mean, “falls” should be flying right?

Google increases Gmail storage

Posted by: Dave In: Blog| Communication| Web

Gmail is getting a storage boost in the coming days, according to a recent post on the Gmail blog.  The storage counter will be sped up to increase in size a little more speedy than before.

Right vs. Left brain

Posted by: Dave In: Science| Weird

This is an interesting test to determine whether or not you are predominately a right or left brain thinker.
I have no idea how accurate this visual test is, but it is pretty interesting. The dancer was spinning clockwise for me initially (right brain), but I could make it change direction easily.
Link to the test.
