I thought it’d be neat to make a radio station search engine. It turns out the FCC’s is already pretty feature rich.

My dad has posted some pictures of their bedroom remodeling project. I haven’t been there in a few weeks, and he’s started doing work on the bathroom. In fact, it looks like he’s done a lot of work on it. This’ll give a nice progression for those of you who have only seen it once or twice since it started.

Nomad will be happy about the big new feature in these preview screenshots of Garry’s mod v6. Garry says: “Should have it by the end of next weekend..” Also, this video made me laugh for exactly 1 minute and 25 seconds.
Update:
Actually, according to this thread, Garry’s hard drive is AWOL and there may never be another Garry’s mod release ever again. We all wait on pins and needles!Update 1/26: Garry’s “broken hard drive” was a hoax. Also, he makes fun of idiots on his forums and bans people randomly for saying stupid shit.

Some great Revolution rumors, and some less-great ones. No DS connectivity? Are they crazy?

The Opportunity rover has discovered the first ever meteorite ever found on another planet. The probabilities involved have led some researchers to wonder what this tells us about the cratering rate and weather patterns on Mars.

Ask MetaFilter comes to the rescue, finding the answer to something that’s bugged me for two and a half years. Simply phenomenal.

Somehow, I think Vlad’s idea in today’s Achewood would really be popular (in an ironic pop-culture Subservient chicken-esque sorta way). With a free afternoon, a few sandwiches and fixins, and a hungry woman, we could probably fake it.
Update: Is this somehow related?

In previous years, 24′s bad guys roster has included a family from the Balkans, unidentified Mideastern countries, Mexican drug smugglers, and a British former intelligence officer. (Not to mention Nina. Where’s she from?) But Muslims are (rightfully) upset with the depiction of the otherwise normal-seeming Araz family as a terrorist sleeper cell.
Your local Fox affiliate may begin showing PSA’s before, during, or after the episodes.

Gizmodo has a photo of some pretty damn cool keychains: miniature terrariums with cacti inside. One of those and a blue tritium-filled keychain would make me happy.
