I just found this cycling blog: Bike Snob NYC
. What really got me to add it to my google reader is this paragraph:

"But what about the cars?," you may ask. "Surely I should fear the cars." Well, you should be aware of the cars, and you should know that many of them are driven by people so stupid they can barely operate them, but you should not fear them. Rather, you should know them and understand them. You're at a distinct advantage because, being stupid, most drivers are easy to figure out. It won't take you long to anticipate their stupid behavior in the same way you can usually figure out what your dog is about to do next. Oh, and don't let them bully you. Ignore the beeping. A driver honks to express one of three things: 1) I want you to get out of my way; 2) I want you to go faster; 3) I just don't like you. The correct response to all of these is, "I don't give a fuck." Drivers don't honk when they're about to kill you because when they kill you it's because they didn't see you.

Really, you should go read the whole post.

NASA announced Project Constellation as the replacement for the aging space shuttle quite awhile ago. The Project Constellationproject is interesting, but it has a lot of shortcomings - you can read more about Project Constellationon it's Wikipedia page here. I was reading a slashdot article recently and I found this alternative. I wonder if it is a better choice. There is a Wikipedia entry about it here.

They also made a youtube video:

Now, I'm going to have to vote republican too!
