So, when do we move in?

Virgin and Google team up to colonize Mars.

An invitation.

Earth has issues, and it's time humanity got started on a Plan B. So, starting in 2014, Virgin founder Richard Branson and Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin will be leading hundreds of users on one of the grandest adventures in human history: Project Virgle, the first permanent human colony on Mars.

I'm sure my wife wouldn't mind having a pair of Martians running around the house. That's so much cooler than regular old Earth children.

Kid Proofing the Home Theater

Here's some good ideas from the guys at Wired.

I need to work on a few of these myself.  I'm afraid to say that right now my Sony SXRD TV and all my gear is inhabiting an old coffee table I painted black - not the most kid proof of furniture.  Of course, I take the approach that it is better to house-proof the kids than kid-proof the house, but 1 and 4 year olds are mighty curious.  The worst part is that the TV is upstairs where they also spend a lot of time playing.  And as they grow older and can play by themselves, the possibility of something bad happening to the electronics and kids will go up.  So, looks like I'll have to get off my duff and fix this.  Thanks to Wired, now I have a good idea what to do.
