giant motorized cupcakes

via Boing Boing tv presents CUPCAKE CUTTHROATS, a cakesploitation epic exploring the dark side of electric art-cars shaped like baked goods. These homemade vehicles are crafted by Silicon Valley nerds (including one engineer from Tesla Motors) and Burning Man enthusiasts in a Berkeley, California, warehouse. In today's episode, Xeni joins the marauding muffineers for a 15-mph thrillride down mean, sugar-sprinkled streets.

TODAY'S VISUALIZATION

Enormous Undulating

brought to you by Jim Risch, US Senator from Idaho

Sen Risch hopes by Thanksgiving, we'll be able to identify improvement with either the "enormous" spending package or the vagaries of an "undulating" world economy, or some other way - like with better policy - he said today in his first speech in the Senate, where they were debating the Stimulus Package.  It passed, 61-36.

Afterward, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell gives him some love, as does Sen. Max Baucus - Democratic Senator from Montana.  Baucus explains that although he strongly disagrees with Risch, he hopes to work together in the future on Western Issues.

ABOUT THE IMAGE:  One of Santiago Calatrava's finest works is the Bodegas Ysios in Laguardia, Alva, Spain. Its undulating roof and silvery edges are equisitely articulated.
