You can view the entire Nova episode The Great Robot Race on the PBS website. It is all about the 2nd DARPA Grand Challenge Race, where autonomous vehicles race across the desert outside Las Vegas. Cool stuff!

I am not alone in my assertion that the good old days weren’t that good.

Most often when I link to someone else’s blog, it is because a particular article has tweaked some small bit of my interest. These blog entries are often isolated, and the blogs that I link to often have a high noise to signal ratio. It is therefore with some pleasure that I recommend Red State Rabble for your consumption. It is the work of Pat Hayes, a writer who lives in Kansas and directly addresses some of the silliness surrounding the current “debate” over Intelligent Design.  In addition to being something of continuing interest to me, he’s a good writer with many good insights.  It joins The Panda’s Thumb on my blogroll under daily reads.
