You have to check out this video of this thing they're making for the military. If nothing start at the 30 second mark and watch for like 30 seconds. This is a ROBOT. It's a gasoline powered quadruped ROBOT. It looks organic and it just blows me away how amazing it is.

I have tried, valiantly, to ignore the whole Swine Flu thing, but I'm starting to waiver and fail. If I didn't have a seven month old, I would probably be able to ignore it, but I fear for the boy ( Read more... )

This biochar stuff sounds a little too good to be true. All I did was read this one article (and scan the wiki entry), but there's got to be a catch to this. If it's really as good as they say, then they better start using this stuff like crazy. Still, I'm skeptical. Anytime there's something this crazy good, I always wonder what the unforeseen ( Read more... )

I just thought I'd share this link for those of you keeping up on the Blu-ray vs HD-DVD format war.

Stephen Colbert said the other night that "Reality is a commodity." He was referring to Wikipedia. Apparently there are some groups out there who are paying people to change wikipedia entries (cough cough Microsoft!). When you can do that, of course, then reality because a commodity. I have to say, this was more profound than I was anticipating ( Read more... )

I would say that this is funny, but its not. It's sad. It's depressing. It's horrific.

I'm looking forward to seeing this documentary. It's making a bit of a buzz in the gaming world. I think it'll be a lot of crap... but then again, when aren't documentaries one-sided pieces of crap? Moral Kombat TrailerIt's only a matter of time before my company blocks this website with their "content filter." They've been getting more and more ( Read more... )

This weekend past was our first experiment with tofu. I made stir-fry. Or... I made my version of stir-fry. I have to say, it was pretty damn good. Tofu isn't bad. Here's what I learned: Cut it very small; Make sure there is plenty of flavor coming from sauce or other entries in the dish. That's it! The texture of tofu is kind of alien to my ( Read more... )

I'm not a fascist. I'm not an Islamo-fascist. I'm not a traitor either. All that being said, I'd love to see Iran's leader, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and GW have a televised debate. I don't know much about the world. In fact, I'm kind of a world-idiot. However, I kind of agree that any nation of the world should be able to have nuclear power. I don't ( Read more... )

Articles like this one are why I stopped reading CNN, or any news. Not only is this depressing, but its downright scary. I was probably better off in my ignorance. I don't even know that "We the people" have any way of stopping this. How do I stop this? What can I do to help? I don't trust any politician anymore. Frankly, I feel I would get better ( Read more... )
