We are both honored and humbled to have Technorama submitted, then nominated for the Parsec Awards. Now we have made it as a finalist in two categories!

There is a lot of great competition in those categories and we wish everyone the best. There is no voting, there is only an independent panel of judges who will quietly select the winners and announce them at Dragon*Con in a few weeks. Keep your fingers cross, roll those 12 sided die, or whatever you do for good juju on Technorama.

What to do with 66,000 business cards via Digg

Why, build a level three Menger Sponge, of course! What the heck is a Menger Sponge?

It’s a cube with the center of each face removed. And like other building blocks, individual Sponges can be clustered and built into larger ones. This one is 150 lbs and uses no glue or anthing other than the business cards to hold its shape.

Technorama is proud to help promote History International’s show Naked Archaeologist which airs Wednesdays at 8E/9P.

No, he’s not REALLY naked, but the stuff Simcha Jacobovici covers is just as sexy. Topics range from Jesibel to Samson and Delilah! Did the Greeks invent the alphabet or could it have older origins?

Want to help promote the show? We’ve got five prize packs of hats, backpacks, and more to give away! Enter the contest by sending an email to contest@chuckchat.com and put Naked Archaeologist in the subject line. Entries must be received by August 31, 2007. Winners will be announced on the website September 1 and the Technorama podcast immediately following.
