That’s pretty cool! The solution to this seemingly impossible physics problem is down at the bottom of the post (spoiler alert!).

I like this new keyboard/controller/remote idea that works via Bluetooth with everything in my mancave. May have to get one.

Scott Speed's lawsuit against Red Bull -

That’s a lot of money for someone who made a joke of his last name (in F1 and in Sprint Cup nonetheless). And I think his claim that he didn’t get the right equipment has been solidly debunked by the performance of Kahne in the #4 Red Bull Toyota (basically, his old car).

This one is a little more affordable and still really cool.
