Should the iPad Be Your 2nd Computer?

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

My wife is constantly on Facebook and does send some emails. Maybe this would be great for her? (Note of honesty: That just be me trying to justify a purchase… I certainly won’t deny it.)

Google Maps Subtle Sponsors

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

I’ve always been interested in how a good number of Internet start-ups begin with an idea that people like but may not have the slightest idea how that idea might generate revenue. I mean, YouTube!… hello!
But smart people will usually find a way to make it happen.
Today, for the first time, I noticed that [...]

Left4Dead w/ Bots on Expert, Mercy Hospital Lvl. 4

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

Playing with bots isn’t impossible on Expert, but it’s quite hard. Made it through Mercy Hospital level 4 with a rag-tag bunch of crazy computer scripts. Zoey is twice the bot Francis will ever be.

Could Killer Kudzu Be the Next Big Thing in Fuel?

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

Scientists need to start earning all the money we pay them! Well, not me specifically, but us… you know, in general. This by turning kudzu blight into cheap fuel, they’d be killing two birds with one stone. That’d be good, right?
In totally unrelated news, I heard today that the saying, “Mind your P’s and Q’s.” [...]

Searchme Puts New Twist on Visual Searching

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

My brother hipped me to this new search engine called Searchme; novel enough I thought. Then I started using it more and found it to be pretty cool, albeit slower. I was bummed that it took so long for 21st Century Paladin to land in their listings. I’ve been solid for years people. There are [...]

The Pentagon’s Ray Gun

Scary cool isn’t it? I wonder if it can make toast?

Not So Fast Apple, Your iPhone Can’t Do This!

How crazy-cool is this funkalicious phone?!? Does the touch screen interface disappear when you’re not using it? I must have one.

Military Families Interact With Loved Ones Abroad

Wednesday, December 26th, 2007

I love that while technology can certainly be perverted towards evil means, it can also do some incredible things. At this time of year, I can’t think of a better use for video conferencing. When some people complain about military spending, remember that items like these are also part of the package.

Wii Sensors Allow for Head Tracking Experiment

Saturday, December 22nd, 2007

Saw Beowulf in 3D not that long ago. This experiment reminds of the same effect. How long before all we gamers are wearing some kind of sensor glasses? [via kotaku]

Tesla Roadster Impresses Even at $98k

Wednesday, December 5th, 2007

Forget what I said about wanting that helicopter, I’m an idiot. THIS is what I want! Ever since I first heard about The Master of Lightning, I knew I’d be lusting after the Tesla Roadster. Here’s some video on the amazing car.
Who wants to go in on it with me? (I call, “First!”)

My Own Personal Helicopter, It’ll Be a Merry Christmas!

Tuesday, December 4th, 2007

Ok, I’ll be asking for receipts for every gift I get this Christmas. Yeah, I know. The fallout will be a bear. But maybe if I pool all that refund cash together, I’ll be able to purchase an Air Scooter II! A boy can dream, can’t he?

Dolly Creator Rejects Cloning Concept

Tuesday, November 20th, 2007

From the FRC:
This past weekend, the movement to ban cloning got some help from an unlikely source–the scientist most famous for attempting it. Professor Ian Wilmut, the creator of Dolly the sheep, publicly announced his decision to abandon “therapeutic cloning” and turn his attention to pro-life alternatives such as those being perfected in Japan with [...]
