How to make Glowing Cocktails Mojitos!

These great tasting mojitos glow under a black light. Great for late night outdoor parties or halloween. 
Just add booze pink lemonade and black light and you got the northern lights in your head.

TCCs black light phosphorescent take on jungle-juice.  Originally conceived in 2006, it is a drink that is pink in natural light, but glows aqua-marine in black-light.  Thus, it represents the two main colors of the aurora-borealis.  So, without further ado here is the recipe. (Originally, the drink was made with just pink-lemonade, but was later modified to use Rose’s Mojito Passion).

WHAT YOU NEED

2 liters Gin or Vodka
9 Liters Tonic Water
3-4 Bottles Roses Mojito Passion, OR 3-4 Canisters of Pink-Lemonade Concentrate
Ice
INSTRUCTIONS

Mix all ingredients together shortly before the party begins.
Add ice as late as possible before drinking.

Black and Decker Gyro Screw Driver Video

This has to be the best screwdriver video I have ever seen. The black and Decker Gyro Screwdriver senses what direction you are about to turn then fires up the motor. Wonder how it works for lefties. Anyways screwdriver looks cool but the video plain kick anime ass.

Photoshop and Mars Rover Curiosity "Earth Filter"

Great article on the Photoshop filter NASA uses to help geologist identify pictures of Martian Rocks. Need a Mars white balance card.
Even the most casual fan of space travel would notice something funny about the latest image from the Mars Curiosity rover, as seen below. I mean, they call Mars the "Red Planet" for a reason, and here we are looking at blue rocks.

Jawa Sandcrawler Spotted on Mars by Curiosity.


A jawa sandcrawler was spotted on Mars by Curiosity then quickly removed by Nasa. 

Conspiracy theorists have worked themselves up into a lather over a mysterious blotch visible in the first black and white photographs taken from NASA's new Curiosity rover as it landed on Mars.
The faint but distinctive dot which can be seen on the horizon of the Red Planet was taken by a device on the $2.5 billion robot called its Hazcam and relayed by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter back to Earth.
However, two hours later when the satellite made another pass over Curiosity, the rover sent another batch of images that revealed that the blotch had eerily disappeared.

Wii U mixed review at-least from some new devs

About 150 Club Nintendo members had received a golden ticket for each night of this four-day junket, but I was more interested in talking to the invited students from DePaul University’s Game Dev program. These were undergraduates and graduate students who had made the decision to come to a four-year, liberal arts school to study up on how to make modern games. They weren’t just here to see if the Wii U’s unique touchscreen tablet controller made it a system worth buying. They were also evaluating potential career paths, sizing up the development potential of what will be the first of the several systems that could shape the opening decade of their young careers.
