Great moments in internet history

This was funny

But Rick Astley rickrolling the thanksgiving day parade, that's almost as entertaining as a line from a snakes on a plane pre-release parody making it into snakes on a plane.

Humor aside, I find the way internet culture is merging with pop or mainstream culture, and the way that mainstream culture is pulled in to the participatory net culture interesting.

A disturbingly cool picture on flickr I picked up off some RSS feed or another.

Cool stuff

Figured I'd just stick in a link to this story from last month about a High Powered New Explosive. This stuff is cool. Melt-castable (probably), as powerful as HMX (pretty much the most powerful production explosive), and chemically pretty interesting to boot (doing some calculations on it as I write this. Just figured I'd add it to my blog, since I'd like to be posting here more (a lot more even).
