You smell like a Terrorist!

April 26, 2010

3

The US is apparently developing technology to detect Terrorists by their body odor. As a teenager, I remember my father telling my when he was in the military (he was deployed to Korea during the Vietnam Conflict) that near the DMZ they were under very strict diets. Basically no smelly foods. The Koreans couldn’t [...]

You Can’t Make This Stuff Up: Jedi Mind, Inc. Begins Initiative for Thought Controlled Technologies

April 20, 2010

2

A perfect name for a company doing kind of freaky stuff. “Think-Tac-Toe” is the initial game developed by The Company, which utilizes thought controlled technology to play the game of tic-tac-toe with the power of your mind against the computer. The player selects the box of choice by moving right, left, up and down with their [...]

You Can’t Make This Stuff Up: John Tesh and Amway Want You To Take Pictures Of Your Breakfast

April 19, 2010

5

John Tesh & Amway actually seem like a good match. They are both equally mocked. This won’t help. To celebrate the new product line — and the fact that there’s usually room for improvement in our food choices — Amway Global is launching the line with the “Show Us Your Breakfast Photo Contest.” Snap a [...]

Author Nick Harkaway Asks Me Some Questions

April 18, 2010

1

The title is totally misleading, Nick actually asked all of his readers these questions but I am one of his readers so there. Why am I turning this into a blog post? Well because I look for anything that I can turn into a blog post because I’m a blogger and that’s kind of what [...]

Why I could never be a vegetarian

April 11, 2010

7

I like meat. I love a good hamburger, pepperoni pizza is the best but I don’t crave meat the way I used to. In fact between beans and chicken as my main protein source, I could probably live without red meat. Except for one thing: I love to barbeque. The fire, the seasonings and the act of cooking [...]

The 20th Aniversary of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Movie and TJ’s Nickname

March 30, 2010

3

I was 17 when this movie came out, Jeremy was 15 and being big fans of the cartoon we were a little excited for the movie (although I was too cool to admit I cared very much). The best thing of course was that our little brother TJ, aged 7 now had [...]

Dog Eats Cop Car

March 28, 2010

5

I hate clips like this because they don’t tell the whole story, but this is pretty impressive. I personally have nothing against pit bulls. This is not meant to insite fear towards the animal but just to say: WOW! It ripped the bumper of the cop car off. The officer couldn’t drive away very effectively [...]

Fake Wannabe Super Heroes Rule!

March 26, 2010

4

Time’s almost out for Jeremy’s name your super power contest and it got me thinking. I have always loved super heroes (who doesn’t) but ever since the Mystery Men, I have loved the concept of fake wannabe super heroes. This summer we get a double dose: Woody Harrleson even gets in the act: And lest you think [...]

Where’d everyone go?

March 19, 2010

0

It’s been kind of quiet around here. Sorry about that. I’ve been super busy with work, travel and my other blog. Jeremy, as you may recall, just welcomed a new bundle of chaos into his life. TJ who probably has the most time on his hands keeps telling me he’s working on these killer posts but I’ll just [...]

Vampirates vs Sharktopus: Fight!

February 12, 2010

7

This would be the ultimate monster mashup battle royal. io9 is reporting that the Syfy network (formally the SciFi network) will be doing a Sharktopus monster movie There are several Vampirate fan movies on YouTube (that are only slightly less good than most Syfy movies). There are even a series of Youth Fiction Vampirate books out. (But do [...]

Star Wars Adidas: So Painfully Geeky I Want!!!

This makes every retro dork  bone in my body hurt. I want these really bad. I’ll wear them all the time and never take them off. Ever! You can see the entire series in all of it’s glory here. And if that’s not enough check out the commercial. (How did Snoop Dog get a cameo?) Related articles [...]

Who’s going to clean up Space?

February 1, 2010

1

Which nations have the most satellites orbiting the Earth? Russia has the most followed by the US. Before you get all Cold War freaky, most of Russia’s are inactive. Basically just orbiting junk. With Obama cutting NASA’s budget, who’s going to clean up this mess? For more cool visualization, check out Michael Paukner. Related articles by Zemanta Obama budget would [...]

RIP JD

January 28, 2010

I love this pic of JD Salinger. Like most of us I loved Catcher in the Rye. I doubt that there’s a teen in America (possibly most of the World) that can’t relate. There’s so much of Salinger in that work, in all of his work, really. I love this picture because he looks hurt, paranoid, scared and [...]

How to Save The Office: Nic Cage as Michael Scott

January 25, 2010

3

There’s a great bog called Nic Cage as Everyone. One of today’s gems is Nic Cages as Michael Scott. You can see the original Michael Scott photo below. That’s some really good photoshop work IMO. Is it me or has The Office lost its way? I haven’t watched all year. I warned Jen that once Pam and [...]

If Violent Video Games Caused Youth Violence I Would Have Killed You All

January 19, 2010

4

It seems like this site is about 10 years too late but better late than never? Anyone respectable Gen Xer will tell you that video games don’t cause violence, anger causes violence. My POV is that if you are inclined to violence video games will fuel that. Image via Wikipedia But why is this important? Because video [...]

Facebook is the Mashup of My Life.

January 18, 2010

10

As Facebook has grown to become the dominant social network a strange thing has happened: My World’s are colliding. Some people are uncomfortable with the mix of personal and work life that Facebook has come to represent. That isn’t a problem for me. I am who I am and I have nothing to hide. But as [...]
