Surfin' Sunday



For Fun: Check out all the great stuff at the "Maybe you shouldn't buy that" website. Featured above, the $1.5 million magnetic floating bed. Of course, if we want to get the economy going again, the site really should change its name to "Maybe you should buy that." There is a nice Diesel watch posted there if you are looking for gift ideas. We were going to post the $5 million bra also being modeled at the site, but we know some of you read our blog at church.

For Nerds: The Wolfram|Alpha website went live last Friday. It's goal is "to make all systematic knowledge immediately computable by anyone." It's like a Google that returns only facts and has computational ability -- but that understates its potential value. You should watch the video to see some of the things it can do. Below, a time-series graph of the fraction of people named Jeff.
