Today's whether: Arctic squirrels rock.  And they're cool, too :) P.S. "Eichhorn" means squirrel in German.  (But I'm Dutch.) Sperm whales rock, and are unfortunately soaking up human-created toxins.  The top of the food chain has its drawbacks. Did you realize there are 350,000 of these guys in the oceans?  Wow. Mars rocks.  But it might be tough for humans to go there, because of radiation... It does appear to be warming up! [ via Bigwig, who rocks, and who thinks this "proof positive that not only is Mars inhabited, it's inhabited by SUV driving Americans!" ] Oh, and Jupiter's Moons rock.  Which is why NASA is planning a cool new nuclear-powered probe. This faked teaser trailer for the Hobbit rocks, and so does the creators' effort to recruit Peter Jackson to make this movie. [ via Cory Doctorow, who rocks ] This shockwave "thing" from Nicolas Clauss totally rocks.  Check it out.  Now.  And stick with it, it gets cooler, and cooler, and cooler... [ via Xeni Jardin, who rocks ] Tivo rocks.  But the company has issues, like how to ignore your best customers... [ via  Matt Haughey , who rocks ] iPods rock.  Literally.  But you knew that. Van Halen rocks.  That's just about all I can say. This eye chart rocks.  "Increase distance from chart until readable" :) [ via  Adam Curry , who rocks ] WinHex rocks.  If you ever need to edit a disk boot record, this is your tool. RSS rocks.  SharpReader rocks.  Citydesk rocks. Oh, and yeah, this HP ad rocks.  Don't you think? Blogging rocks.
