This is a funny video I saw while doing a little internet surfing this morning. I'm definitely a much bigger fan of Star Wars than Star Trek, so I had a little chuckle while watching this.

Do you think this guy is going to see the new Star Trek movie? Hmmm. (see the pics of this guy's bachelor pad here). In other news, people who will most likely remain a bachelor.... :)

I'm a bit of a map nerd (if you ask my wife, I'm just plain old nerdy), so not surprisingly, I've come across a list of some neat Google maps. Cnet has an article here that lists a few that I found interesting. For these and other cool maps, check out the Google Maps Directory.

Any fans of high-altitude photography should check out this article on Make Magaizine's blog on the Meteotek high-altitude balloon project.

I ran across a pretty exciting idea for a video game cross-over today; a game that combines the old Doom universe with the Diablo series. It's certainly not a top-of-the-line game in terms of graphics or flashy efects, but given that I loved both of these games when they were originally out, this serves as a nice piece of nostalgia. And hey- since I've got two kids, I rarely get to play games any more, so anything where I can combine my fun with two old classics at the same time, I'm all for it. Check out the game here (still in early development at this time).

Try these musical statistics on for size! I found a funny link today that breaks down some of those inherent truths found in popular songs into nice pie charts and other assorted graphs. If you have trouble visualizing what a song might be telling you, or you're more into the whole being hyper-analytical thing, you'll enjoy this link. If you have the slightest sense of humor, you'll also enjoy them. My favorite is posted below:
