I use Find and Run Robot several times a day, every day.
I am a bit of a keyboard freak and love the way I can launch an application, website or Google search with just a few keystrokes. It really helps me to maintain that state of flow when I am working, without having to navigate the distractions of the start menu.

How To Destroy the World with Nanotechnology

Screenshot - 3_15_2009 , 3_35_33 PM_thumb.png
Very well done techny evil humor..
This is a promo video for a new book called Be Amazing.

If you want to destroy the world, don't bother building a hydrogen bomb, just steal some self-replicating nanobots and cover the Earth in a layer of all-consuming grey goo. That's the moral of a hilarious video, which appeared this morning on the Mental Floss website:

Longtime readers may recall a number of other films I’ve created for mental_floss, including Famous Last Words and Attack of the Parasites! It’s been awhile since I’ve unveiled a new floss movie, and for those rabid fans who’ve been wondering where the next one is (uh … I’m sure there are a few of you), wait no longer! I and a small team of talented animators have been working on a super fun promotional video for Be Amazing! for A YEAR — and we pulled out all the stops. It was created with cutting-edge motion capture technology (which is why it took so darn long), and it dramatizes one of my favorite chapters of the book: “How to Destroy Civilization with Nanotechnology.” So check out the video, buy the book and Be Amazing!
