If you understand even half of the references to programming in this video, props to you, for you are geek. If you understand all of it, then you're probably a programmer.

I've always been a huge fan of the Tribes games! I would always go to my friend Josh's house to play Starsiege Tribes back in the day. So when Tribes 2 came out, I had to buy it. I actually had the game for a few months before I upgraded my computer to the point where I could play it without lag. Tribes Vengeance was a bit of a disappointment. Although it was prettier, it just wasn't as fun to play as Tribes 2. There was a lot less strategy involved, and that was the strong point of the entire Tribes series. It was a futuristic strategy FPS. I just hope Tribes Ascend is going to be as pretty as it is strategic and fun. The Beta is set to release in 23 days and 15 minutes from now!

By now, nearly everyone has heard about the volcano in Iceland, known as Eyjafjallajökull... Pronunciation please? It was estimated that the eruption pumped 150,000 tons of CO2 into the air in one day. Which consequently, was still less than the amount of CO2 that the European aviation industry produces daily. Along with the the sky being darkened by all of the ash, flights anywhere near northern Europe were canceled. Eyjafjallajökull forced countless people out of their homes due to flooding from melted ice. Even through the damage and devastation some good came of it... Like these beautiful pictures! Also, I found some more pictures here.

I can relate to this video...

I've been in the process of building this spud gun for a while now and I finally got it done yesterday! It's fueled by propane and ignited by a stun taser. I used a small torch for the handle and valves then melted the plastics together with a soldering iron. Check out the pics and videos.
