A pretty inspiring commencement speech at UT from an Admiral.

First things first, "make your bed."

Something every graduate needs to hear.

Also, clean up your room while your at it!

Insightful into SEAL training, and some VERY good advice for those who "want to change the world".

Thanks, Bob. Well-worth the time to listen to him.

That's an interesting concept. Looks pretty 'spensive to get it rolling.

We'll let the EU be pioneers.

Hurray:

By The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles commuters who dealt with traffic tie-ups, lane re-routings and warnings over gridlock-riddled weekends dubbed “Carmageddon” and “Jamzilla” have been rewarded with a new 10-mile car pool lane on northbound Interstate 405.

The California Highway Patrol says the longawaited stretch between Interstate 10 and the 101 Freeway opened before dawn Friday.

The full car pool route runs for 70 miles from southern Orange County into the San Fernando Valley, matching the existing car pool lane on the southbound side. Transit officials say that some work remains but that most of the fouryear Sepulveda Pass project is complete. The $1.1 billion in improvements also included higher-capacity on- and offramps and bridges that meet seismic standards.

The 405 carries about 300,000 vehicles a day.

Sean, I know you in particular are going to love this...a new photo uploader. Also, one no longer need be a paid site supporter in order to upload straight from their hard drive:

I believe I recognize Cobzilla there, from the cartoons of my youth.

Funny stuff, Sean!

Got a chuckle out of this one. Your French may be rusty, but some things are universal.

It's even got a pair of MoonEyes on the wing window

That would be fun to putt around town, as long as you aren't in a hurry.
