Many moons ago, I somehow came across this video on YouTube titled The Simpsons vs Star Trek.
Well, a couple days ago on Boing Boing, there was a post about a [t]heremin cover of Gnarls Barkley, specifically, their song Crazy.
Here's the Gnarls Barkley Crazy Theremin Jam linked to in the Boing Boing post:

This got me looking around at other theremin videos…

How cool is this going to be?!?!
So, while reading some of my favorite RSS feeds this morning (Boing Boing, Dooce, and so on), I came upon this post over at Thingamababy: Deconstructing a Star Wars AT-AT Imperial Walker Baby Stroller. Oh, and if you are as interested in the stroller as the AT-AT job, Thingamababy is the place for you.
Check out the pic:
Isn't an AT-AT Imperial Walker stroller just the coolest?
Well, being curious as to what other goodies I might find, I followed the link to the album, where I eventually found these photos:
My son has eyes for no hero other than Spiderman. And I love all things Star Wars. Now we have something we can both enjoy. 
So, I was doing some more Stumbling and stumbled across this talk from TED2007. The talk was given by Blaise Aguera y Arcas, creator of Seadragon, and it centered around Photosynth.
From the Photosynth site:
The Photosynth Technology Preview is a taste of the newest – and, we hope, most exciting – way to view photos on a computer. Our software takes a large collection of photos of a place or an object, analyzes them for similarities, and then displays the photos in a reconstructed three-dimensional space, showing you how each one relates to the next.
In our collections, you can access gigabytes of photos in seconds, view a scene from nearly any angle, find similar photos with a single click, and zoom in to make the smallest detail as big as your monitor.
Whilst Stumbling, I landed upon this page titled Wildest Intersections over at BoredStop.com post:
To make a left turn from Rosanov Street to the adjacent Khoroshev Street, you will have to embark on quite a journey: follow the arrows on the picture
Yesterday on one of my favorite blogs, Lifehacker, there was a post called Recharge with a meditation nap. Having three childrens under the age of 5, my wife and I are chronically sleep deprived… therefore, any talk of naps immediately piques my interest.
The subject of the Lifehacker post is a post at Life Learning Today titled How to Nap at Work – or Anyplace You Need a Rest. The post describes something they call "Meditation Naps," essentially naps where you remain conscious just deeply relaxed.
To me, this sounds a lot like Yoga Nidra or at least what I know of Yoga Nidra. Here's what I put into the comments of the Life Learning Today post:
This sounds a lot like Yoga Nidra which is a conscious deep sleep. During the yoga classes I attend, we are lead through a relaxation exercise where you consciously release tension from the body. Then you focus on each body part: tense every muscle in the body part for a few seconds and then release and forget about it. We start at the legs and move up through the body to the face. Once that's done, we just relax.
It is a very strange feeling. Last time I did it, I heard and felt myself snoring, yet I was completely conscious… of the music in the background, of the other students' breathing, of everything. Yet, when it was over, I would've sworn I had been asleep and for a much longer time than we had actually laid there.
Sorry Home Depot, but you just lost a formerly loyal customer.
Do you want to know why? Do you even care? Well, I rented a tiller from your store on Lynnhaven yesterday. Unfortunately, the weather conspired to prevent me from using it during the 24 hours for which I had paid.
Now, I wasn't expecting a full refund or a full credit towards another rental, but I was expecting some sort of monetary dispensation. Perhaps I forfeit my security deposit ($25)? That would have been better than the $60 they charged me to store the tiller for them at my house. Hell, I never even got it out of the back of the family minivan! I mean, seriously, how many tillers did you have sitting collecting dust in the store while one was in my van? Did you have customers clamoring to rent these machines while your entire rental stock was sitting idle in my driveway?
So, here's the situation as it stands:
Lowes, True Value, Ace… treat me with the respect that my hard earned dollar demands. Don't assume that I will give you that dollar just because you're more conveniently located than the next guy. Realize that your livelihood depends on the patronage of individuals like me.
