Many people in physically smaller, more dense countries enjoy efficient, effective public transportation. For the typical American not living in New York, driving significant distances is a daily necessity. It is well known that when people get behind the wheel of a car, they change. Seemingly mild mannered, rational people become taut tripwires, ready to […]

If you know the name Thomas Edison but not Nikola Tesla, then you need to school yourself homeboy! If you don’t know either name, uhh… click here, or even here. Tesla was the shiznit when it came to being a genius. Unlike Edison who toiled away in warehouses with sometimes hundreds of drone “inventors” doing […]

Ok, I’ve got what some consider to be a body mod. I’ve got two RFID implants. In fact, my very first interview about my first implant was with BMEZine. But for me, this “mod” is purely functional.

I was cleaning up the files stored on my phone today and came across some ringtones I love but haven’t used in a long time. First up, the classic “Don’t tase me bro”. This ringtone is a clipping of audio from the famous “Don’t tase me bro” video, minus some of the talking bits in […]

We’ve had a great run of good weather the last few days, so we took advantage of it today and took the ol’ bicycles out for a few hours ride. On the way back, I came across the most amazing sight… a perfectly intact waffle cone sitting on the shoulder… then a couple feet later […]

Jenny and I were sitting at our dining room table, laptops in front of both of us, when she turned hers toward me and said “Get a load of those!”. I’m not sure what the faux pas in this picture is exactly, but there’s one in there, that’s for sure: At first I thought I […]
