Notes:   A lot of people didn't get the Potpourri reference (its a category on jeopardy that can be anything and everything, hence all the wonderful pictures of Alex over the past few years).   Regardless, I figured I ought to come up with another name and came up with Potluck, in hopes that everyone else might bring a link to the post in the comments that is out of left field but still interesting.

What I'm Reading About:

"Bizarre" Octopuses Carry Coconuts as Instant Shelters
Absolutely one of the coolest things I have seen in awhile.


NASA - Spirit Gets Stuck, Makes a Big Discovery
Interesting notes proposed by scientists utilizing Spirit on Mars. It is really amazing we are making these discoveries almost 6 years later. From what I can gather from the article, the place where Spirit seems to be stuck is a line of demarcation that changes seasonally (I hesitate to use that word, buts its the best one I can think of) and that they have been able to monitor the change over the past 6 months.


Some thoughts on Google DNS
Interesting response from OpenDNS on Google's new DNS service. I don't like Comcast's DNS service and have been using another for awhile, but I am not quite sure I want to switch to one owned by the G yet.


Airmile hackers use mileage credit-cards to buy $1 coins that they use to pay the CC bills
I know how voracious a lot of tech deal website communities are, just check out some of the awesome savings zealotry on some of the bigger sites forums like slickdeals, techbargains, etc. So it really doesn't come as a surprise that someone came up with this, but man, $70k in $1 coins... Nice.


People who look young for their age 'live longer'
My theory is that they don't start drinking till later because no one believes they are 21.
