computers are neat

At backflip.com, you can bookmark websites so that you can access said bookmarks from any computer. Not too shabby. But then it gets really wild. You can search the web, but it will only search the websites you have bookmarked in your account.

Here's a review of backflip from traffick.com. (I hope those links work...this is my first post. If not, you'll have to do the old-fashioned cut-and-paste. Or just not read it.)

That's a downright nasty number. [From Wired News]

Forces acting on the spacecraft to a level equal to less than a billionth of the acceleration of gravity one feels on the Earth need to be taken into account. Without knowing the acceleration error to that degree, the spacecraft would have moved off course by 3.7 km (2.3 miles) over 10 days.

There's badass, and then there's badass. The Mars rover Spirit landed within 660 feet of its intended target on a planet 90 million miles away. BADASS. [courtesy of Ben Hammersley]
