Feed Me!
The Amorphophallus titanum (corpse flower) at BBG looks like something out of Little Shop of Horrors! Apparently these blossom in cultivation so rarely that when it happens they document it.
Make: has more.
Without the Internet, I wouldn’t know what to do with my a*$
I probably could have lived the rest of my life without seeing this product. Without the Internet, and within the confines of the sacred Walmart, I just may have done that. But, no, I’ve seen it and now so must you. So without further ado, I present you Sphincterine by http://mintyass.com/. Believe it or not, this site is worksafe with great content.
Cost: Howard Stern $495,000.
It will cost you a lot less!!!
Let’s not forget the tag line.
It’s stimulating… and refreshing!
And you know what Pucker says!
It tingles!
You’ll note this product is not on my amazon wish list.

Parents reviewing video games
KidGamers is fresh on the scene to give parents an opportunity to understand the video games their children want to play.
KidGamers.org is a video game review site for parents and by parents. While there are plenty of video game sites out there, few of them cater to parents who wish to help their kids find fun and challenging video games.
As we all know, the ESRB’s rating system is a blunt instrument. It tells you the basics of what is “bad” about a game, but nothing about what is good for a game from a child’s perspective.
Their reviews, with attention on pre-teen and younger, will focus on skills needed to play the game, accuracy of the ESRB rating, what did the children think, and did the parents enjoy the game.

Now they have a sister site called SlickFillers to help you find desireable smaller dollar items to tip your order over the $25 mark for free shipping from Amazon.
Cheyenne Mountain Shutting Down
The famous home of NORAD is switching to "warm standby." Cost overruns appear to be part of the problem.
Since Sept. 11, 2001, the Defense Department has spent about $700 million to upgrade early-warning systems at the Cheyenne Mountain center. [Source]
“The Cheyenne Mountain center, at the eastern foot of the Rockies near the base of Pikes Peak, was constructed underground in the mid-1960s. Fearing nuclear attacks at the time, the United States built sites such as the Cheyenne Mountain complex. The Navy prepared a floating White House aboard the communications cruiser USS Northampton, in case the president needed to be evacuated from U.S. soil. Another protective bunker was created near White Sulphur Springs, W.Va., for members of Congress.”

I think military bases are really cool. Check out this underground Russian submarine base.

I was warned…Ze Frank is coming!
First there was Amanda Congdon at Rocketboom. When she parted company with RB, I pondered, "could a guy pull off what a female host can?" Several weeks ago an online friend gave me an electronic nudge and said, "Yes!" Ze Frank is undeniably the next video blogging hit. Of course, there still is Ask a Ninja but he’s…uh..you know…a cubby ninja. Be warned Ze Frank uses language that many of us pretend we don’t hear daily.
