Bots vs. Smugglers: Drug Tunnel Smackdown
Semi-autonomous robots that can navigate and map drug-smuggling tunnels could be the greatest weapon to emerge from the government’s attempt to stamp out the trade in illicit substances across its borders.
Using special intelligence software developed at Idaho National Laboratory that can be mounted on different machines, the iRobot and Foster Miller robots use lasers to situate themselves in the dark tunnels that have been bored beneath the line that divides Mexico from the United States.

The Merry Prankster Offspring Take A Trip On The Bus “Further”
Can you, did you, or would you even consider passing the Acid Test? It is a question posed over 45 years ago by the Intrepid Traveler and his Band of Merry Pranksters. Ken Kesey, Ken Babbs and their audaciously creative friends embarked on a mission to find the “Cool Place” in 1964. They loaded up a 1938 International Harvester school bus with audio and film gear. They painted the Bus in psychedelic swirls and wrote FURTHER on the front and WEIRD LOAD on the back. The Merry Pranksters riffed and raffed around the United States documented by Tom Wolfe’s book “The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test“.

Welcome to binge Britain: Polish photographer documents four years of drunken revelry in Cardiff
As a seasoned traveller, Maciej Dakowicz was keen to get a few snaps of local life during his stay in Britain.
His resulting picture album, however, could do with an X certificate. Taken over a series of Friday and Saturday nights on the streets of Cardiff, the Polish student's images provide a shocking insight into alcohol-fuelled debauchery in the Welsh capital.
The unique collection is aptly named 'Cardiff At Night,' and includes a photo of a man walking across a street, his face and shirt covered in blood.

DJ Danger Mouse veröffentlicht neues Album als leere CD-R mit Fotografien von David Lynch
Die Headline ist kein Scherz. DJ Danger Mouse (Wikipedia), der sich 2004 mit der EMI anlegte, in dem er es wagte, das „White Album“ der Beatles mit Jay-Zs „Black Album“ zu einem „Grey Album“ zu mashen – bis heute ein Meilenstein der Musikmash-Kultur – und der hiernach zusammen mit Cee-Lo Green im Jahr 2005 mit Gnarls Barkley eine der heisstesten Acts des Jahres auf die Beine stellte, hat ein neues Album namens „Dark Night Of The Soul“ zusammen mit Sparklehorse aufgenommen.

He's the DJ who got quite a lot of attention a few years back for creating one of the very first mainstream mashups -- mixing the Beatle's The White Album with Jay-Z's The Black Album to create the rather unique The Grey Album. Of course, one of the main reasons why the album became so well known was because EMI sent cease-and-desist letters to everyone who posted copies of the album, and then to anyone who posted that they were going to participate in the "Grey Tuesday" protest.
