Sorry about that little bit of down time on the Chicago FileShack server today. It was one of the awesome problems where you dont know what went wrong and a reboot fixes it. Linux can do that too!

- Some crazy stem cell work
- Alternative jet fuels
- Microsoft robots
- Computers with DNA
- Web browsers need extreme makeovers
- Net regulation debate continues

Lastly, robogames are hot!

  Are you going to play all those songs at a bar? I can see some of them working, but unless it's a super nerd bar it seems like that would be a little akward..

    well, actualy, it's a mexican bar. but on thursday nights i've managed to cultivate it into "geeks night out". There's usualy 20 or 30 ppl there of various levels of geekery. It helps that the 2nd largest dorm in the US is right accross the street, and it's a primarily Science and Engineering school, heh.
    
    The mexicans stopped comming on thursdays, calling it "gringo night". We took that as the name. Thursday nights: GRINGONOCHE!

        i made a shorter one last night and took it to the bar to test it out. it was 30 minutes long and i thought that'd be enough, but everyone was like MORE MORE so then i made this one.

      Also, what about "Knob at Night" from the Ricky Gervais podcast? At one point, Karl Pilkington says he could eat a knob (a penis) at night since he would have more time to be prepared to eat one and eat some food before hand. It came from him talking about a reality tv show where contestants had to eat animal wangs. There's multiple remixes of the song
