Spring Carnival buggy
Carnegie Mellon’s Spring Carnival was over the weekend. The big thing for a lot of returning alumni is sweepstakes, which feature buggy races.
Buggies are like torpedoes on wheels; and are driven by a really, really small person inside it.
Here’s two clips of buggies rounding the chute after the freeroll portion of the course:

Better than Cruise
This bar tender chick is oh so much better than Tom Cruise in Cocktail.
Windows symphony
A symphony synthesized completely from Microsoft Windows system sounds.
The music is surprisingly listenable.

All the drunkness with none of the peeing
AWOL (Alcohol WithOut Liquid) has been scaled down now as a small, personal, portable device.

Meanwhile, our fun-loving state representatives are trying to outlaw this machine in favor of public urination.
