Jack Daniels has their standard whiskey which you’ve probably had, their Gentlemen Jack which is a little more mellow and you may have had, and at the top, their Single Barrel whiskey, which you probably haven’t had. Single Barrel bottles are all individually tagged around the neck, describing which barrel they came from.

On the main Jack Daniels’ site you can register any commerative bottles. They need to bring this idea over to their currently horrible Single Barrel site. It would be fantastic if you could read notes from others who have a bottle from the same barrel. Great way to build an online community for any number of wine and spirit brands.

If you pick up a Volkswagen from their factory in Wolfsburg, Germany you get to hang out at the bottom of the above garage and wait for the robot to deliver your car.

A similar garage recently opened in Chinatown NYC and a few others are in the works.

Saw this crazy photo in a fascinating collection of old photos that show early life in the Dakotas. Here’s the entire collection. Some of my favorites include an incomplete Mt Rushmore, a general store and shocking oats

Google Maps now shows real-time traffic information for many cities including Miami.

It works by adding a layer that colors the roads in green, yellow, red, or gray. The colors represent how fast the traffic is moving:
* Green: more than 50 miles per hour
* Yellow: 25 - 50 miles per hour
* Red: less than 25 miles per hour
* Gray: no data available

I’ll put this to the test tonight, hopefully no more being stuck on the palmetto.

No more running from your office to your kitchen and trying to remember how many teaspoons allrecipes.com recommended. A glorified tablet PC, this concept seeks to make shopping and cooking easier by scanning bar codes on products you need, updating your recipe book, recommending meals, playing media, taking photos and of course, hanging neatly on the wall.
