Land on Titan<\/a> with Phillip Glass (via BoingBoing<\/a>). Why it’s Enriching<\/strong>: Eerie yet beautiful video of the Cassini-Huygens landing. How to Ruin the Moment<\/strong>: When it’s fully loaded, drag the slider back and forth… Landing!! Blast Off!! Landing!! Blast Off!! WEEE!!!<\/p>\n

Of the US government snooping on it’s own, William Gibson says “What? This surprises you?<\/a>” Why it’s Enriching<\/strong>: Gibson could spin a massive global computer virus as cool. I’m loving this scandal as much as as the Manwhore in the Press Gallery<\/a> scandal. You Americans are WACKY! How to Ruin the Moment<\/strong>: Wake up and realize you’re not watching V For Vendetta. Oddly enough it seems Americans don’t mind losing control over this liberty<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dainty Bastard’s Pic of the Day a few days back<\/a> Why it’s Enriching<\/strong>: I love the harsh perspective and structure of the shot. How to Ruin the Moment<\/strong>: Have you ever been under that bridge? The aroma coming off the Don and the smell of pee is nearly unbearable.<\/p>\n

Speaking of DB, the new Pugly contestants are up!<\/a> <\/p>\n

Pet Shop Boys (yes! they’re still around!) are releasing a new album and you can hear parts of it on their navigationally challenged site<\/a>. I’ve heard it the entire album and if you’re even 1\/10th a “Pet Head”, you’re going to be very very happy. Why its Enriching<\/strong>: I can’t bloody wait to see the video for “The Sodom and Gomarrah Show” How to Ruin the Moment<\/strong>: did I mention their dumb ass website? And no North American tour dates set yet.<\/p>\n

Found this site buried in my favorites at work: Robot Gossip!<\/a> This guy is in tune with mecca! Why it’s Enriching<\/strong>: Best robot feed I’ve found yet. He has some great photos. How to Ruin the Moment<\/strong>: Blogger site. <\/p>\n
