Orange Julius recipe

Here's a recipe to make your own Orange Julius at home. 1/4 cup sugar on top of the OJ may be too rich for your palate, but we should try it for Zoe!

Elements and $$$ Car

Two random things to say: Want a bit of a very simple and easy challenge? Try playing all 25 levels of Elements. And then go to the most expensive Ebay thing right now it's a car.. Maserati. It's extremely fast but is it still worth 1.3 million U.S. dollars? Picture here.

"What we didn't realize then was that the integrated circuit would reduce the cost of electronic functions by a factor of a million to one. Nothing had ever done that for anything before."

Microchip turns 50 today!

The microchip that drives all our computers was invented 50 years ago today. This is a picture of the very first one, constructed by a guy named Jack Kilby working at Texas Instruments. He also invented the hand-held calculator.

Super Mario Rescues The Princess

A new Super Mario cartoon...brought to you by Burger King! It was made by Seth MacFarlane, who animates 'Family Guy'. There will be new episodes in this series every week, but they aren't all about Super Mario. The line between entertainment and advertising blurs again... [I wonder if I can get Burger King to pay me for those two links I just made to them....I wanna cash in too!]
