(Part Two down after the jump)

This post isn't actually about Mythbusters, but it's related.

For a long time. one of my favorite sources of stories has been Waxy.org Links, an RSS feed of eclectic items that I often feature here, but rarely credit properly (naughty me). Andy Baio, who compiles the list has recently started blogging again after a long absence. And he has set himself an ambitious and lofty goal:

So I'm going to try an experiment this year: publish something original on Waxy.org, every weekday. Not my opinions about news (opinions are cheap) and not just glorified linkblogging, but something new: original research, investigative journalism, information visualization, digitizing dead media, live reporting, or interviews.

Any who blogs will know the kind of committment and time this takes, so I really wish him well, and would recommend everyone check out his site. One of his first pieces is an excellent investigative piece that tries to track down the origin of the "Plane on a Conveyor Belt" hypothesis that Mythbusters try to validate in the above clip. Good reading.
