Thursday, September 23rd, 2010This happened earlier this week. It is pleasing. I offer it to you as a reward for not doing anything in particular to annoy me* in the last 24 hours. Congratulations. Via Geekosystem, who knows how to push my buttons. Mostly because I have 1,117 buttons and have labeled each of them, “This is one [...]
Disconcerting, Much?: Sesame Street Parody of True Blood
Thursday, September 23rd, 2010I know Sesame Street–and the Muppets in general–are all about featuring pop culture icons and references. But, c’mon. This is a bit much.

And, no… before you make any jokes, those are not the ingredients for a romantic night [...]
Apparently the Future Is Now: Homemade Coil Gun
Wednesday, September 22nd, 2010This is some pretty sick stuff. Some guy named Jason spent two years engineering and building a 1.25 kilojoule coil gun. The hot, coil-gun-powered breaking shit action doesn’t begin until about 2:50 in the video below, but the first part of the vid is also worth a watch for the tour of the gun’s components, which [...]
