So I realized today that my cell phone that was just replaced has this wacky VCast thing. Checked it out today and I'm really pretty impressed at how quickly a video buffers up and starts playing. Needs more boobies. Wacky technology these days...

- Hey guys, you are smarter than your wife/girlfriend/palm
- The gallon of milk kid gets some offers
- Remember that movie The Core? Totally scientifically accurate
- The human zoo
- Outsource to a small town!
- Lets all move to Mars

Lastly, have a look at the latest ShackMap! Done with some integration into Google Maps you can see where already over 800 Shackers are hanging out.

        Go to http://maps.google.com/ and see if you can get it working there. Once you do, paste it into my geocoding thing.
        
        One thing -- make sure you click the Geocode button - don't hit ENTER. That'll submit your form with a latitude/longitude of 0/0.
