Emma Roberts Will You Be My Valentine?

Hopefully this will be the last post I do this week that has anything to do with Valentine’s Day the movie or the actual day. That being said, I wish cutie Emma Roberts was my valentine. Wouldn’t that be fun? We could spend the day in my jacuzzi tub drinking beers and telling each other how lucky I am to have her. I’ll even float some rose petals in the water to make it more romantic and to camouflage my massive boner. Obviously not real rose petals because I’m allergic and they’ll probably stain the tub, but it should have the same effect. Call me.

Happy Valentine's Day, Baby

Jessica Biel hasn't been on here lately because she insists on dating the dancing wigger with the shaved down perm, but dear God she looked absolutely fantastic at the premiere of Valentine's Day. I'm not sure how you can be a photographer five feet away from Jessica Biel and not get a picture of this. Seriously, dude.I would teleport with a fly or sign up for Survivor: Camp Crystal Lake to get my tongue fused to that.

A Snowy Week in the East

A government worker uses a front loader to clear snow from Upper Senate Park on Capitol Hill in Washington on Tuesday, Feb. 9, 2010. The mid-Atlantic region is preparing for another powerful storm that could deliver as much as 16 inches of fresh snow on Wednesday to a capital already beleaguered by restricted roadways, limited mass transportation and mounds of plowed snow.

Lamborghini Produces 4,000th Murciélago Model for Chinese Customer

Times might be tough in the world of exotic sports car sales, but Lamborghini continues to grow as an automaker announcing that the 4,000th Murciélago model has just rolled off the production line, destined for a customer in China. Introduced back in 2001, the Murciélago has been a much larger success than its predecessor, the Diabo, which totaled 2,900 units over its 11 year production run. “The enthusiasm our products incite makes us proud and confirms that the company’s product strategy and model range are a winning combination, producing exceptionally desirable super sportscars,” said company President and CEO Stephan Winkelmann.

DIY Group Sends $25 Balloon to 70,000 Feet

DIY projects are all about sweat, tears and learning from mistakes. Just ask a group of electronics hobbyists that recently launched a $25 balloon bought off eBay with a payload carrying an Android G1 phone, two cameras and other assorted electronics up to nearly 70,000 feet in the air. “Fundamentally, we are all space enthusiasts,” says Mikolaj Habryn, one of the participants.”We wanted to see if you can get a balloon up to high altitudes that can be ultimately used for ideas such as mounting a telescope or measuring radiation levels.” The team successfully launched the balloon and gathered some great photographs but also made some fatal mistakes in their planning.

Take a Peek Inside the 747-8 Test Plane

Well into the first flight of Boeing’s new 747-8, co-pilot Tom Imrich brought up the fuel page on a display in the cockpit. Chief pilot Mark Feuerstein did a double take when he saw it. The biggest airliner Boeing has ever built left Paine Field carrying 130,000 pounds of jet fuel. But the plane, which Boeing is hailing for its efficiency, was burning less fuel than expected. “You’re generally familiar with the odd burns — off nominal, and you know what they are,” Feuerstein said, explaining the unusual flying conditions of a first flight. “I said, ‘This is amazing.’” Feuerstein made some quick calculations and realized they would have much more fuel remaining than expected when they landed after an inaugural flight slated to last four hours.

Heineken Bot Is Best Beer Serving Robot We’Ve Seen In A While

It’s always a wonderful idea to have a bot serving beer. One, it would never ask you your pint count and two, it would never ask you to slow down. We’ve seen a host of beer serving bots in the past, but the Heineken Bot by Middlesex University is by far the best at the task. A miniature keg on wheels, the Heineken Bot is devised to move autonomously in a preprogrammed area. It has sensors mounted on top, when a hand is waved over it the bot stops to pour you a drink. ‘Just place a cup in the arm, and the bot will fill it to the brim with the frothy lager.’ Displayed at the London’s Kinetica Art Fair recently, the bot is worth the glimpse, so follow the jump to see it in action.
