A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. The concept of controlling a computer and/or a video game with only your mind has been around for a long time, and lately it's been getting closer and closer to reality. Now it looks like the reality is finally here: a neuro-headset which interprets the interaction of neurons in the brain and sends them wirelessly to a USB dongle connected to your computer......

How about some comic book......

Sounds totally fascinating, and the reviews are very good. And given the slim pickings this......

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. It's Friday the 13th, and Cinematical has a nice present for us, in honor of the holiday. We usually find ourselves talking about a different Penn University around here, but Penn State is having a rap contest to build excitement about their big college football celebration, Blue & White Weekend on April 20 and 21st, and that's amusing.

What's interesting on TV this week. 2006 ALMA Awards (Mon; 9:30PM-11PM; ABC) - The American Latino Media Arts Awards. Eva Longoria hosts, and also receives the person of the year award! Sounds like a bit of a conflict of interest to us. Gloria Estefan and Carmen Electra perform, amongst many others. Although what exactly Carmen Electra performs is a mystery. And a mighty intriguing mystery at that. Maybe she'll do one of her pole-dancing workout......
