  • Is It Just Me…

    …or did the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade just Rick Roll us? Happy Thanksgiving all!

  • xkcd – Change You Can Believe In!

    You can now get an audio preview of your comment before you post it to Youtube. There was a recent xkcd comic on something similar to this, although Randall wanted a mandatory dramatic reading. Unfortunately, this will not stem the tide of idiotic Youtube comments. This might still be more useful for that. ;)

  • Nightmare Fuel

    I’m borrowing that phrase from Deadspin, for very good reason. I took a peek in the spam folder in my Gmail today, to make sure nothing important got sent there…and came across this: Mccain sex tape surfaces /brain scrub Moving on, it appears that some spammers have switched to humorous subjects for their offending mails,…

  • Belt-Fed Nerf Cannon Available

    Remember the Nerf N-STRIKE Vulcan EBF-25 belt-fed office warfare toy spotted at Toy Fair 2008? It’s available. :D Totally worth it, too.

  • Moose Update

    No, not you Papa Moose. There was great fear across the land when this picture was sighted, but it turned out he was just making a border run to see a friend:

  • This is NOT right

    I missed free Slurpee day. Those punks know I’m there all the time, couldn’t they have mentioned it at least? NOT COOL, 7-11.

  • Wall-Climbing Robot

    Check this out: Researchers at SRI International have come up with a wall-climbing robot – one that uses electro-adhesion to attach to the wall. There is a video at the Popular Mechanics link, which shows a tracked ‘vehicle’ climbing up a normal household wall. Pretty neat technology. Spotted at Gizmodo.

  • Speaking of Bacon…

    I just came across this link, and I have to share it. I know there are a bunch of bacon fans in my circle of blog/web friends who will appreciate this.

  • Robot Snow Shovel For Places That Don't Need It

    With the incredibly inventive name I-Shovel, to boot. I’ve been expecting something like this, to be honest, but I can’t imagine it will be tough enough to work during a real snowstorm. Spotted at Gizmodo.

  • Just in Time for the Clan Invasion of the Inner Sphere

    Gizmodo brings me this little bit of terror…apparently someone wants to make HUGE Forest Fire fighting robots. With MASSIVE SAW BLADES at the ends of the arms. But of COURSE it will NEVER be used for any sort of military purpose, right? And it will stay perfectly within our control, at all times. Okay! I’m…

  • Basic Instructions – Middle Names

    I’ve had the webcomic Basic Instructions on my blogroll for a while, but I have to point out this comic, which is just perfectly awesome.

  • Iron Giant To Run In London Marathon

    Lloyd Scott has constructed a 9 foot tall Iron Giant costume and will run inside it during the London Marathon. He is raising money for the Autism Trust. I am raising funds for a fantastic charity called the Autism Trust. The reason I chose a robot is that people often think autistic people have a…
