Mat Drudge is linking to a Yahoo! News story about a gadget that dances to music played on an iPod on his site today. Neither Drudge nor the Yahoo story had any video so I searched on Youtube for Miuro to see if there is any demonstration video out there.

What I saw was very underwhelming. The little round thing wiggles around as it plays music alright, but I could not detect it keeping any beat. About the only semi-cool thing the machine did was avoid ledges if you had it on a table and avoid walls and feet if it were on the floor. But I have gotten some Happy Meal toys from McDonald’s that could do that.

Here, you be the judge.

I read this story from The Drudge Report about being able to see faces of people from the Streetview feature. Very neat and very worrisome for those who are overly concerned about the so called “right to privacy”.

I was wondering, as I was scrolling along the streets, “what was making the pictures”? I found this image from the Las Vegas street view outside of the Treasure Island Casino.

The shadow of the car recording the images. It looks like some sort of camera on a pole attached to the roof of the car. I am going to keep looking to try to find a big picture window or mirror that is actually reflecting the entire vehicle itself.

In my opinion, the Tropicana Hotel and Casino is THE BEST attraction on the Boardwalk in Atlantic City.

The rooms are comfortable and I have had the best nights sleep in one of their COMP rooms than I have had paying for a suite at the Mirage in Las Vegas.

The Quarter at the Tropicana is a great place to eat, shop, or just browse around when the slot machines have gone cold on you or the Poker table has just raised their blind and raises to $25 and $50.

The casino floor is always bright, airy, and comfortable.  Compared to other casino floors on the Boardwalk (Caesar’s, Trump, Bally’s) the only one that comes close in comparison is Bally’s Wild Wild West Casino, which is just a short walk down the Boardwalk.  I recommend a visit to the Wild Wild West Casino while staying at the Tropicana.

Katrina on the Prairie???

I will cut to the chase and tell you what I have found out. At about 5:00 AM on the morning of the Greensburg Tornado Governor Kathleen Sebelius gets a telephone call from Howard Dean instructing her to do nothing with regards to asking for FEMA assistance or anything concerning the Greensburg situation.

About an hour later Dick (Durbin?) calls Governor Sebelius and instructs her to politicize the tragedy by claiming there is not enough manpower to help in the rescue efforts because President Bush has all the National Guard and their equipment over in Iraq.

Governor Sebelius is apparently happy to carry the water for the Democratic National Committee and goes along with the plot. Apparently she is not completely devoid of conscience and places a call to her friend Kansas Senator Sam Brownback, expressing her deep regrets on what she “had” to do regarding her public comments about the tornado strike and loss of life.

Senator Brownback is “disappointed” in her conduct and is further saddened to hear her rationalization of the plot. According to Governor Sebelius, “we [the DNC] just can not let an opportunity like this go by.”

Opportunity??? To politicize and exploit the deaths of 12 citizens of her state in order to keep in the good graces with the DNC Chairman and the Senator from Vermont? To attempt to further damage the Presidency in a time of war with outright lies? To abandon her fellow citizens when they are facing the literal destruction of an entire town and the death of a dozen of them?

I call for the immediate resignation of Governor Sebelius, Senator Durbin, and Howard Dean and ask for a special investigation into the despicable abuse of power these three have displayed on the backs of fellow Americans all to further an anti-American political agenda.
