  A new food for astronauts – The Washington Times (Linked from SpaceToday)
  It’s called Pizza Poppers and it’s made from…“protein-rich wastewater leftover from tofu manufacturing and its ability to be crispy while producing no crumbs that can adversely affect sensitive electronics aboard space stations”. Sounds positively tasty.

  Silence of the Lambs, the musical. Uh huh…

  Check out this Island!  “On the shores of the United Arab Emirates, arguably one of the coolest (and certainly one of the largest) engineering projects in the world is taking place. 100,000,000 cubic metres of sand and rock is being formed into two huge, palm-shaped islands, each with about sixty kilometres of beach and big enough to be seen from space. Designed as a luxury city for Dubai’s (and the world’s) very wealthy, it sounds like something out of a science fiction novel: but it’s real. Amazing what a few billions in oil fortunes will let you play around with” - quoted from boingboing

  Macromedia Flash 7 ???  What the…? It seemed like only last week we upgraded from Flash 5 to Flash MX. So I did a Google search and found this blog which led to the same screenshot on this Russian weblog. There will be two versions of the product: Flash Matador and Flash Toreador. Is this for real?

  Blogging is becoming a major phenomenon. NEW blogging tools are popping up everywhere, for example these AOL Journals screenshots. I am beta-testing Typepad which is trully excellent and beautifully designed. Especially loving the Photo Album & TypeList features. (A typelist is like a blogroll). I have also recently discovered Tabulas which also lets you create photo albums (and is free!); and Sparkpod (free 60-day trial) which lets you create posts in the same environment as your final webpage.
