This AT-AT was created purely in CSS3; there is no Flash animation involved. Note: only Chrome and Safari can show the animation; all other browsers will only display a static image, which is still pretty neat...

"McCain was trying to use me," he said. "I happened to be the face of middle Americans. It was a ploy." Well, DUH! Dumbass...

I so thought that this was a joke, but apparently, it's not. Eternal Earth-Bound Pets "has attracted more than 100 clients, who pay $110 for a 10-year contract ($15 for each additional pet.) If the Rapture happens in that time, the pets left behind will have homes—with atheists." Wow.

    They've added a couple of nice new features, including an aerial view that loads satellite imagery where available, a box drag and zoom, and a way to reorient the map.

    Nanoscale iron-nickel discs connected to antibodies that attach only to cancer cells are activated by applying an alternating magnetic field, which literally shakes the cancer cells (and not nearby healthy cells) to death. Cool...

    You may want to turn off the people that you are following, as by default it is the people you e-mail the most in GMail. Not a big deal for some, but I went ahead and turned it off...

    This video does an almost infinite zoom into a Mandelbrot set fractal. Very cool...
