Black Metal vs Naked Saunas

I was quite troubled to realize today that I couldn’t list ten major differences between Sweden and Norway. All my best Livejournal pals lent a hand and we came up with this not-entirely-comprehensive list:
diesel sweeties: robot webcomic and geeky music t-shirts : newsblog » Blog Archive » Learning America Smarter: Northern European Geography 101
HT: The [...]

Cuoco for Cuoco Puffs

I haven’t posted a picture of Kaley CuocoW for a hwhile.  She’s from the hit TV show The Big Bang Theory.
She’s hotter than shit, so have a piccy!

p.s.  I have no idea where the pic came from other than the Interwebz.

Quick Patent Fax Reversal Device

Evidently the United States Patent and Trademark office can’t just recognize prior art but they can’t read upside down faxes. Wow.
Apparently this is not within the standard operating procedures of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. No, if your fax comes in upside down, then send you a message in return saying that they [...]

Two Great Tastes That Taste Great Together

Ok, I’ll admit that I’m not a huge fan of peanut butter…or Internet Explorer. One of my big complaints has been that IE doesn’t support SVG. I posted about Microsoft joining the SVG Working Group previously and this is a follow up post on the IE Blog update regarding their working with the [...]

Lucy in the Sky with Harder Diamonds

Researchers using a diamond paste to polish a slice of meteorite stumbled onto something remarkable: crystals in the rock that are harder than diamonds.
A closer look with an array of instruments revealed two totally new kinds of naturally occurring carbon, which are harder than the diamonds formed inside the Earth.Crystals in meteorite harder than diamonds [...]

New Job Offer for Conan O’Brian

By Ken Levine: Conan has a job offer!

iPad vs. a Rock

I suppose this would work equally as well with a potato. It goes along with my comments earlier today that the iPad seems to not be getting the normal Apple product release reaction.
Now this is funny. I found this posted over at TechCrunch and thought I would share this.
iPad vs A Rock – Now [...]

Does the iPad Cost too Much?

Darren Beckett put together this cool graphic comparing various ereaders and their cost vs. the iPad. Kinda puts things in to perspective. It is my unscientific opinion that the iPad has been slammed in the media but I put my faith in Steve Jobs. The man is a genius, a billionaire and [...]

Swordfish is Now a Reality

I’m pretty sure that rig doesn’t come with Halle Berry but it’s still pretty sweet. Price tag is $3600 which is really nothing compared to my first rig 15 years ago at $5000.
I’m also pretty sure that you are going to have to supply your own hydra worm to hack the Department of Defense [...]

Top 10 Things I Learned Listening To SOTU Last Night

10) It’s really, really hard to be President – people expect you to do things and stuff.
9) America needs to be more like China.
8) Five year plans: they’re not just for Stalin anymore.
7) It’s still [...]

We certainly don’t need to go back to the moon

Wow. So much for Obama supporting NASA! If there was any doubt in my mind that Obama was a GIGANTIC mistake, it’s gone now.

NASA’s plans to return astronauts to the moon are dead. So are the rockets being designed to take them there — that is, if President Barack Obama gets his way.
When [...]

Random Dancing

The way ADD influences a classroom has been seen even before any diagnosis is done. It may be observed in the boy following boisterously his classmates to snatch their books, or in the small girl sitting in the corner and playing with her hair, her mind on the outside view. It is usually the teacher [...]

How to Fix Our Country

No matter what your political affiliation is, I believe there is one thing we all can agree upon. We need to take our country back. This is not a Democratic, Republican or Independent issue, it is an issue for ALL of us to grab a hold of and support. I personally believe that we [...]

LinkedIn Is Gay

Dunno. Just wanted to get in on the fun.
LinkedIn is gay.
Let me repeat this – LinkedIn is gay (and I’m not the only one thinking so).
Not an accurate representation of me my ass!

Goodbye SysReq We Hardly Knew Ya

We already know that Lenovo are something of the fastidious scientists when it comes to keyboard design. Last time they fiddled with the age-old key layout, it was after painstaking research to count exactly how many times users press the Delete and Escape keys. Result? They made the Delete and Escape keys a bit bigger.
Now [...]
