Lunascape – Three Browsing Engines for the Price of Free
Lunascape is a web browser that makes use of the three major rendering engines in use today. Being able to switch between the engines on the fly will no doubt be a boon to web developers testing for browser compatibility.
Right now it’s in alpha and only for Windows XP/Vista. Once a Mac version comes out, I’ll be all over this.

How Old Are Your Tires?
This tire was made in the 41st week of 1994.
Here’s an interesting news report on the age of tires.
In a nutshell, ABC News is positing that your car tires have an expiration date that should be heeded, and that the “brand new” tires you just purchased at a tire store might have been sitting on the shelves for years.
There’s a cryptic numbering system at the end of the “DOT” text (pictured above). The first two digits indicate the week of the year. The next digit(s) indicate the year. In the above example, “414″ tells us this tire was made in the 41st week of 1994. “2101″ would tell us that the tire was made in the 21st week of 2001. Also, sometimes this number is printed only on the inside wall of the tire (facing the inside of the car), so you might have to crawl under your car to see it.
Interesting stuff.

From Cellar – Image of the Day:
The motorist, Marco Menozzi, didn’t even stop when he mowed down the one-year-old pooch while doing 70mph on a side road in Cozze, southern Italy.
But he hit the dog so hard he was embedded in the grill under the bonnet of the Peugeot 207 and managed to cling on until the car eventually stopped.
Vets have treated the stray for a broken leg and bruising and he’s now in a police pound looking for new owner.
“He’s a very lucky boy. He was saved because he was hit so hard. Any softer and he would have bounced off the car and been crushed under the wheels,” said a police spokesman.
When is a Gun Not a Gun?
This is not a gun, apparently.
According to federal a federal code, the “gun” pictured above is not a gun, and as such was deemed as inadmissible for evidence in a recent court case.
From US Code: Title 18,921. Definitions:
(16) The term “antique firearm” means—
(A) any firearm (including any firearm with a matchlock, flintlock, percussion cap, or similar type of ignition system) manufactured in or before 1898; or

Star Trek Trailer
Okay, I’m officially excited about this movie now. Admittedly, to me, the only thing “Star Trek” about it is the ship and the pointy ears, but maybe that’s a good thing? 
Ooo, I just felt a disturbance in the Force. It felt as if a few hundred cried out in anger at my comment.
