Spore

New Sim-type game. I really shouldn't buy this. I'll stay up all night playing it.

Why Geeks and Nerds Are Worth It...

I'll let this one speak for itself.

Kyle's Running for County Commissioner

Hey, if you live in the southern part of Muskegon County, check out this site. My friend Kyle Olson is running for the county commission. He's the type of person that can do some good things to help the Muskegon area reach its potential.

Sprint to build network using WiMax technology.

"Sprint Nextel plans to spend $3 billion over the next two years to build a fourth-generation wireless network using WiMax technology."

This should really be incredible. Finally, high speed wireless Internet almost as widespread as cell phone service. Not only will you be able to access email and information from anywhere using a portable web-enabled device, but other devices and appliances will be able to be network-enabled. Off the top of my head, I would think that now it would be possible for your car's GPS system to connect over the WiMax network to download real-time traffic and construction data and merge that information with the information already on the GPS device. It will also allow more reliable tv/video feeds straight to PDAs and cell phones.

Roundtrip to Mars in One Day

I don't pretend to understand the intricacies of advanced physics, but this just seemed really cool to me. The article indicates that a couple of scientists think they can create a system that can get humans to travel places faster than light. This would allow travel to a star 11 light years away in 80 days or so. Hmmmm..... I thought Zefram Cochrane wasn't supposed to invent warp drive until 2063...
