First up... a beauty pageant contestant is stumped by Confucius. Apparently he invented confusion.
Next up, this really stinks, but not for the person who cleaned it.
Just two videos that stick out after a day at work.

Tinkering...
Not content with having a binary clock on my blog I decided to start playing with LEDs. Behold!
The Board!
The Program!
I now can count to 31 with LEDs. The yellow is zero and on the left the last red is 16. If I had more parts I'd actually make the whole clock. :P
UPDATE: In case your curious about getting one for yourself.

Losing Billions of Dollars Pennies at a Time...
Interesting article on how someone found they were getting over paid, reported it, and repeatedly got ignored for being responsible in the defence industry. Check it out here on MSNBC.
The real kicker? He first reported it back in 1969 and the problem has never been fixed even to this day!

Mercury
Wired is running an article on Mercury. Apparently it's more interesting to visit then Mars since it has a ton of active vulcanism and also magnetic tornadoes that link Mercury to the Sun.
