This is really cool:
According to BPG Werks, the DTV has a top speed of over 30mph and can scale 40 deg slopes and the military version can be remotely controlled to carry offensive weapons.
This thing reminds me of the Montrose song:

There’s crazy, and then there’s this level of all-out insanity. A group of longboarders in New Zealand have taken to hopping onto the local highway and coasting down a sizable hill while overtaking local traffic. The speed limit? A heady 56 mph.
And here is the helmet-cam video:
This is really sad:
Bob Probert, one of the most popular and rugged players in Red Wings history, died Monday at the age of 45.
Probert collapsed around 2 p.m. on a boat on Lake St. Clair in Windsor, Ontario.
Emergency crews performed CPR on Probert, then transported him to Windsor Regional Hospital, where attempts to revive him were unsuccessful.
Dan Parkinson, Probert’s father-in-law, said in a news conference at the hospital Monday evening Probert developed a “severe chest pain” before collapsing.
“This is a tragedy for the family and totally unexpected,” Parkinson said at the news conference.
The family took no questions at the news conference.
Probert spent nine seasons with the Red Wings seven with the Chicago Blackhawks. One of the most feared fighters in NHL history, Probert accumulated 3,300 penalty minutes with 163 goals and 384 points and played in 1988 All-Star Game.

This is intense:
Via TUAW:
the Ducati motorcycle team filmed the entire commercial above on eight different iPhone 4s over a period of four days — watching it in HD shows off just what this camera is capable of.
They did use the Owle Bubo, which explains some of the better shots a little bit. And you can also see that slight shudder so common to low-end HD cameras, especially when the camera pans quickly or tries to capture fast motion. But especially without color correction, the images still look terrific for a camera on your phone. The audio is great as well, but I’m not convinced they did that with only a phone. The final video was edited together in Adobe Premiere, just because “there were enough unknowns” without trying to use iMovie on iPhone for the first time.
This video is pretty amazing… Plus I would like to have a Ducati Multistrada
*BTW in case you are wondering, this is a OWLE Bubo
Its Friday Night and after a full day of listening to soccer snobs, I’m in the mood for some old school hockey. And as an added bonus, follow the links for some excellent right wing writing.
Please allow me to be the first to apologize for the Representative’s apology. Not the first apology mind you, which was wholly appropriate in my opinionated opinion, but the second apology that was offered just five hours after the first. Congressman Barton was absolutely correct when he characterized El Presidente’s handling of the matter and should retract his second apology or at the very least, apologize for it. That being the second apology and not the first.

Like yesterday, when BO puffed out his chest (yeah, I know, you need a microscope to tell) and called the $20 billion damage claims fund he extorted from BP a good start, saying he’d “continue to hold BP accountable.” That’s some ass kicking right there. At least you all weren’t too dumb to understand it.

And if you are not a Red Wing or hockey fan, this hit (at the 0:50 mark) is the reason for the brawl.
I thought it would be great to post some old school football photos in honor of all the talk of football in South Africa ( I didn’t realize they play football in S. Africa). I guess it is almost autumn in the Southern Hemisphere.
And here are are some great articles from the conservative blog-o-sphere:
Pakistan’s Main Spy Agency Still Supports Taliban
The talk goes on and on and on, just like me, but nothing gets done. Another month of this, and BO’s approval rating will be Less than Zero, and my employer will be living out of a dumpster.
Sure, BO has talked to the experts, so he knows whose ass to kick, but, in true BO MO, He misrepresented what those experts said, so He could stop all off-shore drilling for the rest of the year.

Then there are some even younger folks. A couple of “kids” estimated age 22-25, one of them who said:
“we like the health care plan, free health care, whats not to like?”
Wonderful. Aside from the already well tattooed arms, and nose rings that show they were willing to pay for THAT kind of health care, they have no idea of what “free” really means. To them perhaps it is an understanding that some rich son of a B somewhere will just have to do with a little less, so they can participate in a system that currently seems unfair. To them the thought that “taking from others” for their benefit does not even cross the most modest line of decency, or morality, but is in fact THE moral thing to do.
These young Einsteins later reflecting such civil understandings with drive by shouts of “get a life.” Indeed..
