According to a “peeping tom” lady, the man she saw naked inside his home while brewing coffee is pure indecent exposure. So the lady reported what she saw to the police and the Northern Virginia man, Eric Williamson, is now charged! WTF!
Eric Williamson, 29, said he did know he could be seen. “Yes, I wasn’t wearing any clothes but I was alone, in my own home and just got out of bed. It was dark and I had no idea anyone was outside looking in at me.”
According to the woman, Williamson wanted to be seen naked. What? Why did the woman look at the window in the first place? She said she saw Williamson walking back and forth from one window to another. So what? It is his home and the woman does not have the right to peep through or follow which window he goes next.

I just bought a box of jumbo-size Sparboe Farms eggs at Walmart. Surprise, surprise! When I arrived home and opened the box, a bitsy teeny weenie small white egg made my jaw drop — a non-jumbo egg in a jumbo box of Sparboe Farms eggs!
It was probably a mistake. Or maybe someone from Walmart store (employee/customer) did a stupid joke to exchange the egg.

The three MIT students are doing real remote sensing, but in the cheapest way. No need to buy expensive satellite images to have photos of the earth from the upper atmosphere or near-space. You can do it yourself for under $150.
I visited the students’ Project Icarus website and they said they will be posting a step-by-step illustrated guide on how they did their $150 launch. The guide will be free of charge.

Following the announcement, Geir Lundestad, Secretary of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, told senior editor Simon Frantz in an interview why President Barack Obama fulfills the statues of Alfred Nobel’s will.
