VIDEO: "The Last Lecture" is Brillance.

Being the video clip junkie I am, I've seen some fantastic lectures by some of the most brilliant professors, thinkers and artists. Today, "Abe" from the new Columbus, Georgia social network, IntownColumbus.com shared the video below.

Sit back and watch one hour and 16 minutes of Randy Pausch, professor at Carnegie Mellon University give his last lecture 6 months before his anticipated passing. It may just inspire you...

Lost Headline: Google + NASA = Dream Team

Initial thought... I can't think of a better partner or contract for NASA to help "map" the galaxy with the space agency's unique data. What those data-wranglers at Google have done for revolutionizing mapping our Earth -- would make Magellan proud. Google's rich collaborative human interface for virtual exploration via Google Maps is second to none. This new contract could last up to 90 years! (I knew the G stock would earn its own.) This is truly, the story to watch.

• Yahoo News: Google seals deal for new offices at NASA center


• New York Times: Google Plans Major Expansion in Its Backyard
  
  
• Silicon Valley Insider: Google bribes NASA
  

I suppose this is why Microsoft's been so very nervous lately.

Peggy Noonan's View: Brilliance in Journalism

In this week's article in the Wall Street Journal, Peggy slides America's tiredly-complex sentiment into context with The View from Gate 14.

During my slow motion read, the world may have stopped, and I believe they have awards for such craftsmanship.

INVENTION: Official Seventh Simple Machine

I've decided to propose to the world o' Physics(and lay people too) that we add a simple machine to our traditional list. The change would increase the number and "seven" is a more perfect number... let's say.

Wikipedia says, "In physics, a simple machine is any device that only requires the application of a single force to work."

The traditional list of simple machines:

• The inclined plane
• The wheel and axle
• The lever
• The pulley
• The wedge
• The screw

Here's goes... the SEVENTH Simple Machine should be: "The Storage".
Look around. Both RubberMaid and Apple know it is time to add a Seventh Simple Machine: "The Storage". If you concur, show your appreciation by seeing a local live music show.
