Millen is gone. 31-84 over 7 seasons. If only it could change this season. Oh well, as they always say in Michigan, next year will be a re-building year.
FOX Sports on MSN – Jay Glazer – Millen out as Lions president, GM.

Remember Cuil? Yeah, no else does either
According to the latest figures for the end of August the Cuil market share has dropped to, well, just about nothing at all. Net Applications has the market share being a very meagre 0.01 percent. At least it is a very steady 0.01 percent though.
The article points out the obvious problem: their search results suck. Aside from a disasterous rollout in July, the technology was hyped so high didn’t even come close to delivering on it’s promise.
And in the “huh” factor, reading this article made me say to myself, “Oh yeah, they did spring up not that long ago, didn’t they. Oh well.” And off I went to Google.

Designed by Dr John Taylor for Corpus Christi College Cambridge for the exterior of the college's new library building. The Clock will be unveiled on 19th September by Stephen Hawking. Inspired from a design by a clock made by the legendary John Harrison, the pioneer of longitude. BTW, read Longitude the book… fascinating account of the race for a device to measure longitude.

AH! It happened. (Ok, not really. But coincidences are weird.)

Hadron Collider forced to halt
Seriously, this is getting a little wierd. First, the LHC has a “glitch”, now it’s this:
At 1127 (0927 GMT) on Friday, the LHC’s online logbook recorded a quench in sector 3-4 of the accelerator, which lies between the Alice and CMS detectors.
The entry stated that helium had been lost to the tunnel and that vacuum conditions had also been lost.
It added that the Cern fire brigade had been called to the scene.
Maybe they’ve already succeeded in the future or a parallel reality?

The Real Difference Between Liberals and Conservatives
18 minutes you must watch. Whatever your political leanings, this examination of how the mind works is both fascinating and insightful, especially given the political climate we all find ourselves in.
Remember, every politician plays against the types of predilections Jonathan Haidt talks about here. It’s not a partisan issue to know how you’re being played.

And check out other TED talks; it’s really cool to see what other people are thinking about. TED is also available as a free video podcast on iTunes; highly recommended.

Glitch Shuts Down LHC? Or…
“Transformer glitch shuts down biggest atom smasher.” Today’s headline from Yahoo News. And my first thought was, “Oh really?”
As the LHC supposedly gears up, Harvard physicist Kevin Black, based at CERN, investigates rumors that the particle accelerator may, in fact, soon be shut down—by ripples from the future. [source]
Hmmmmmmm….

An interesting concept. Not sure how much more useful this could be than Google.

Among the list of things I will never be good at is wiring. However, I think this project is well worth the multiple failures that will ensue.
Beer keg speaker. Aw yeah.

Or, yah know, you could read up on them. Just a thought.
