• 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.

  • Why…so…SERIOUS?

    As you might guess from the title, I saw The Dark Knight. I managed to stay remarkably spoiler-free beforehand, so there were some twists I was NOT expecting. Great movie, but I’ll keep the real details for after the jump (to help keep others unspoiled)…

  • Pictures!

    Quickly uploading a few pictures.

  • Civilian Tilt-Rotor Aircraft – YES PLEASE

    I admit, ever since I saw the V-22 Osprey, I loved it. It just LOOKS cool, and I’m a military geek. That tech (they fixed it finally, honest!) is now making it’s way to the civilian airspace with the Bell 609. Looking and flying like a smaller cousin of the military V22 Osprey, also a…

  • NBA Refs, Coaches Too Friendly?

    Every once in a while, tWWL has an article worth reading, and I think this one is the most recent one. Disgraced NBA ref alleged recently that some of his former peers worked with ‘league officials’ to affect the outcome of games, specifically to make playoff series go to seven games (here’s some math that…

  • 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.

  • Solar Upgrades

    Researchers at MIT have figured out a way to increase the effectiveness of existing solar panels (or create solar power from windows). Here’s a description from the article on just what is happening: The dye-based organic solar concentrator functions without the use of tracking or cooling systems, greatly reducing the overall cost compared to other…

  • xkcd – Babies

    I know I felt like this when we first had my son (well, I didn’t want to disassemble him. I’m not so good with tools). Click on the picture to go to xkcd.com and get the alt-texty goodness. And read the archive if you haven’t, what are you waiting for?
