What is Glitch? Glitch is a massively-multiplayer game, playable in the browser and built in the spirit of the web. It is currently in development and will launch late in 2010. Private alpha is beginning shortly and a public beta period will begin this summer.I’m excited to see what this guy is all about.
![TIS (Transinvestservice) is logistics company near Odessa. They had problems people finding their warehouse (you know — knowing to turn left after 15 km and stuff like that), so TIS set up an giant robot made from old cars as a signpost.
As a side-note: “Giant Human Like Battle Robots” is a popular meme in Russia and Ukraine. “When [are we] going to employ Giant Humanlike Battle Robots to protect our borders?” was a winning question for Putin on his nationwide interview with Internet folk. Yuschenko (Ukrainian president) was asked this as well since then.](http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kxmxvq5xDQ1qz4mtno1_500.jpg)

This is something I hacked together today, pulls in my recent tracks from last.fm and pulls up the video from youtube.
You can also play your own music via jacob.fm too! Just put your username in the subdomain like http://username.jacob.fm
Enjoy!

Agave nectar is one of those silver bullets that’s appeared, mostly in so-called health foods, in the wake of increased public consciousness about high-fructose corn syrup. Don’t believe the hype, processed sugar is processed sugar, whether it comes from corn, cane, beets or cacti. - via Salt & Fat
Agave nectar consists primarily of fructose and glucose. One source gives 92% fructose and 8% glucose; another gives 56% fructose and 20% glucose. These differences presumably reflect variation from one vendor of agave nectar to another. Due to its fructose content and the fact that the glycemic index measures only glucose levels, agave nectar is notable in that its glycemic index and glycemic load are lower than many other natural sweeteners on the market. However, the extremely high percentage of fructose can be deleterious and can trigger fructose malabsorption, metabolic syndrome, hypertriglyceridemia, decreased glucose tolerance, hyperinsulinemia, and accelerated uric acid formation - WikipediaI think the lesson to be learned is that unless you’re getting your sugar naturally from unprocessed foods its probably bad for you. People need to stop cheating themselves in their diet. The answer isn’t to invent some new kind of chemical sweetener so we can all enjoy our cupcakes and not feel guilty about it. The answer is to stop eating sweets and start eating well.
This is amazing!The technique relies on the strange quantum phenomenon called entanglement, in which two particles share the same existence. This deep connection means that a measurement on one particle immediately influences the other, even though they are light-years apart. Bennett and company worked out how to exploit this to send information. (The influence between the particles may be immediate, but the process does not violate relativity because some informatiom has to be sent classically at the speed of light.) They called the technique teleportation.

I plan on going to all of these at some point. So far Mischa and I have been to The French Laundry and it was pretty amazing. I personally think Alinea should also be on the list, but 2 US restaurants out of 10 isn’t bad.
