The Sci-Fi channel had a special on tonight highlighting many of the Star Wars Fan Films that have been made in homage to the great film series. My personal all-time favorite fan film is Troops, a short movie paroding the Cops TV Show. It's very well done and quite funny. Only 4 more days.

Nirvana..... and Destiny's Child Booytlicious? For some strange reason, setting the lyrics of Bootylicious to the music of Smells Like Teen Spirit works. It's the latest use of the internet and digital music: spreading mixed music called mash ups that use one artist's lyrics ontop of another's music. Base58 has a large selection of the combinations possible, and this opens up a whole new (though mostly illegal) music genre.

Pollen sized "Stringlets" weighing several tons may have hit the earth and will continue to as they hurtle through space at 900,000 miles per hour. They come in one side of the earth and about 20 second later exit out the other end, causing some earthquakes along the way. If someone was really really unlucky though and got hit by one of these things..... ouch.

Pizza ++good
