CCT#245: Technorama's 0xC Days of Christmas
Let's Enhance
from Boing Boing
So I guess my hearing isn’t so bad after all. It turns out that every photo enhancing scene on every TV show is just a broken record of mumbo jumbo double talk. Well, you probably knew that already, but did you know that they are all interchangeable?
Personally, I’m still waiting to see someone say “Can we get a bigger monitor?” ’cause I always hear that at work, and nobody ever says “zoom in a bit more”.

My old Star Wars sheets just don't compare.
This is the kind of bed I wanted back in 77!

The Tetris God
From listener Mike Wills.
Now when I play Tetris, the Tetris God is not some mumbling-wanna be-Cylon-hybrid. It’s a little devil that peeks over your shoulder and waits for you to stack up half the screen and then waits some more for your hands to get clammy. Only then will it send a dozen useless pieces before deeming you worthy of a single line piece.

Virgin Galactic Plane Prepares for Space Tourists
via @Bytemarks
Well, you may have heard this one before, but Richard Branson is taking pre-orders for $200,000 flights slated for 2011 – 2012. For only 10% down, your name goes on the list with 300 others. The last time I heard about this, it was a couple of years ago and the price was ~$250,000. Maybe in another decade it won’t be a laughably outrageous price.

10 Balloonies – Geocaching for Charity
10 Balloonies – Groundspeak’s DARPA War Room
To mark the 40th Anniversary of the Internet, DARPA is hosting the DARPA Network Challenge, a competition that will explore the role the Internet and social networking plays in the timely communication, wide area team-building and urgent mobilization required to solve broad scope, time-critical problems. The challenge is to be the first to submit the locations of 10 moored, 8-foot, red, weather balloons at 10 fixed locations in the continental United States.
Groundspeak is the owner of Geocaching.com and if they win this competition, Groundspeak has pledged to donate $10k on top of the $40k prize money to charity.
As of this writing, they are half way there. They’ve located 5 of the 10 balloons.
