Beer Me
Ever wish you had a robot to do the important things in life for you, like get a beer from the fridge for you? Your wish has been granted. The folks at Willow Garage have created an application for their PR2 robot called Beer Me, which enables you to order the beer of your choice and have it brought to you while you remain seated comfortably in your chair. It will even open the bottle! Click here to see PR2 in action.
Pecan Pie Day
Today is Pecan Pie Day. Yes, someone thought the middle of July was a good time for Pecan Pie Day. Regardless of the strange timing, celebrate today's holiday, break out the booze and make Southern Comfort Pecan Pie. Booze and Pie sounds like a great way to improve a Monday.
Keep Phoenix New Times Free... Since we started Phoenix New Times, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Phoenix, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Phoenix with no paywalls.
