Satellite news feeds of DARPA Grand Challenge. If you (1) are a robot-lovin' geek, and (2) have access to satellite communications, aim your dish toward the raw news feed from the DARPA Grand Challenge Race kickoff on March 13. If you lack (2), find someone who does, and badger/bribe/beg them into taping or TiVoing it for you. According to Paul Grayson (by way of an informal Grand Challenge e-mail list), DARPA will provide same-day coverage via satellite of the Grand Challenge start and highlights on Saturday, March 13 at the following times: Live coverage of the start: 6:30 - 8:30 Pacific/9:30 - 11:30 a.m. Eastern Video news release: 11:00 - 11:30 a.m. Pacific/2:00 - 2:30 p.m. Eastern. Coordinates for both feeds: Satellite: AMC 9, Ku, Transponder 03. Space is: 36 MHz. Downlink Frequency: 11760.000. Downlink Polarity: Vertical.

Wacky Packs revival. 
Topps is bringing back Wacky Packs stickers. The original series included illustrations from Art Spiegelman and Norman Saunders and lampooned the brands of the 70s; the new series will bring back some of the original talent to mock modern brands -- for example, turning "Ring Pops" into "Bling Pups."

(Thanks, Stefan!)
