Very strange cloud formation that is reminiscent of the digital artistry in the movie Independence Day.

When the cloud initially formed, some UFO enthusiasts declared it to be a "true mystery." Some even compared it to the giant spaceship hovering over Earth in the movie "Independence Day." Reality quickly dashed any predictions of an alien invasion. An article from the Daily Mail explains that the "luminous ring-shaped cloud" was simply an optical effect.

An official spokesperson for Moscow’s weather department said, "Several fronts have been passing through Moscow recently, there was an intrusion of the Arctic air too, the sun was shining from the west — this is how the effect was produced."

No matter what you write or post, it can and often will be public. Just because it’s an email or a private post, doesn’t mean it is private. This story is proof of that, some screen captures and posting has made this a deep story full of backend jokes.

Here is an example of not understanding the tools you are using in the most embarrassing way.

I have always said, never write or post anything (pics/vids) that you are not willing to show your children, because they will see it some day. Never say “love cave”,that’s just nasty.

Thanks for the link Steven.

This really is amazing art done in an innovative way, and a great use of space and perspective.
Thanks for sending Noah.

This is a very cool bit of hardware and software from Microsoft. It is real and it is not far from production. It is described as a “late prototype”.

Not sure how I missed this one but I did, Google Voice. If it works (waiting to try it out) this will be very slick.

If anyone has been using it (Google Voice is currently available for GrandCentral users only) please leave a comment.

This not just an amazing looking car, it’s also cutting edge technology from BMW.

I wish some year I can make it to the Frankfurt Auto Show.

With its remarkable 163 horsepower 3-cylinder turbodiesel engine (likely coming to production soon) joined by twin electric motors, it produces a total of 356 horsepower. That’s good enough for zero to 62 mph in 4.8 seconds and an electronically limited 155 mph top speed.

And yet it produces just 99g/km of carbon dioxide — and when running on electricity alone via battery packs, which can recharge in just 44 minutes, this already impressive figure is halved to just 50g/km. Maybe that makes up for the pair of performance leviathans that join it on display.

Walmart is getting a brand makeover and it has a good start but you must look deeper.

The title of this post I saw (sorry not sure where I saw it) is “Why so serious?”

The next post is “Sweet Ride”?

The site is called The People of Walmart and it gave me a hell of a laugh today. Enjoy

I’m not overly worried about the swine flu but this got my attention:

About 2,600 students have contacted Health and Wellness Services with flu-like symptoms since school began in late August.

While the numbers seem alarming, WSU officials caution that no one has been hospitalized, with most of the victims already recovered and back in class.

Health and Wellness Associate Medical Director Dennis Garcia said officials expect anywhere 5,400 to 9,000 members of the WSU community to be infected with the virus, based on data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Full story on King 5 >>>

Finally a horn worthy of some of the crap drivers out there. It’s a bonus that it fits in an xB, now I will be satisfied with my aftermarket mods.

This is old and I remember seeing it a few years ago but figure it’s worth showing. It has had nearly 30 million views.
