Remember when you watched TV and actually learned stuff?
I like a good chuckle like anyone else, and the whole Fringe/Burn Notice/Ghost Adventures thing entertains me, but we caught this show on stress on PBS last night and damn if it wasn’t both knowledgeable AND interesting.
Seriously, give it an hour the next time it is aired.
I can’t tell you how many times I use these graph paper templates for quick prints.
Since it took me forever to find the link this morning I figured I would blog them so I could find them easier the next time.
Where the hell was this when Gabriel was born?
During the Presidential election campaign last year the differences between the two candidates was stark. While Obama was attached surgically to his CrackBerry and his staff leveraged social media from their Macbooks, McCain admitted having little or no knowledge or interest in modern technologies like email or the Internet.
It seems suspicious that the Internet is suddenly a major concern for him. Maybe he just missed seeing his name in the paper.
McCain may not know how to operate a mouse, but he sure knows how to be the cable companies’ bitch. He is moving to kill net neutrality, a stunt that must be hard to do while on his knees.
Here are some real sensible things that you can either do – or have your elected officials push for – that would really make a hell of a difference in this country.
I mean, the least you can do it try, right? That is, if you care enough to even attempt some change for the better.
Alright, so Modern Met has led me to Yanko. Expect more posts related to stuff I find on both sites in the near future.
If these ever become reality, I’m definitely keeping a couple in the car just in case.
A couple of galleries concerning actions figures and people with too much time of their hands.
Here is another.
I was going to make a series of posts related to the cool designs I found on Yanko, but decided to just lump a bunch together in one post and post others as they interest me.
Starting off, the SoundBulb, a wireless speaker in a light bulb.
Next, the E-Note, basically a digital Post-it you can reuse.
Now here’s something I could really use. That, or less soda, probably the latter. Either way, it is a device that decontaminates soda cans.
Something we all could use, meat freshness labels that change color as the meat stays longer in the package.
For the ultimate traveller, a “third eye” that gives you everything you need to know about what you are looking at in the viewer.
And, the possible future of air travel: a huge airship-looking thing made to carry up to 1,500 passengers.
Look, sir, droids!
What else do I have to say, but hey! robots!.
