Kurt Russel as Han Solo?!



It almost makes sense, but this...

Robby Benson as Luke Skywalker?!



Thank the Maker that didn't happen! And this! Yikes...

Richard Dawkins reads his email

Cats on Treadmills

Apparently, cats love treadmills. Who knew? Weirder still, their owners love filming their cats on treadmills.

Here's a sampler of some of my favorite cats on treadmills videos. Enjoy!

Nonviolent resister kitty

Middle-aged kitty with techno beat



Poor Humphrey



The ol' switcheroo*



*I know, technically not a treadmill, but it's the spirit that matters.

Haven't had enough? My gift to you!

Group Mind 3D Photos

These guys have whipped up software that combines images of popular places taken by otherwise unrelated photographers into simulated 3D landscapes. The really cool part is being able to use the landscapes to feature your own photos of famous landmarks. Watch the video and then check out this website.

Fast as lightning!

This is just utterly cool...
