According to Wired: While the map may look complex, Dr. Karl Rege tells us he and his team found it surprisingly simple to assemble using data readily [...]

When I think of really crazy things that people decide to do, they usually involve activities that could end in broken bones and stitches. Well, then there are truly insane things people do such as methamphetamines or maybe wingsuit base jumping! What? You don’t believe me? Well, take a look at these psychos who jump [...]

A Direct Comparison of Picasa for Mac vs. iPhoto

January 7, 2009

Yesterday was the day I’ve been waiting on for months. Google finally released the popular, and FREE, Picasa image management software for the Mac! Let me explain. You see, a while back I was forcibly converted to the Mac at work. At first I complained. A lot. But later it grew on me. Now, even [...]

I Knew It! Third Hand Smoke is Killing Me!

January 7, 2009

I’m allergic to smoke. By allergic, I don’t mean that it simply bothers me. I mean, if exposed to smoke my lungs and throat swell shut. I have to literally take steroids to breath freely (after getting the hell away from the smoke obviously), and a ton of anti-histamines to keep my nose from shutting [...]

Religulous – Bill Maher’s Impassioned Argument Against Religion

January 3, 2009

Bill Maher seems to be following in Michael Moore’s footsteps by putting out a movie called Religulous. This film, which I’m certain will prove to be extremely divisive, makes the case that the most dangerous force on earth is religion. Maher’s ultimate message is simple: Abandon religion… or we’ll all die. In the clip that [...]

Use A Diver’s Pad in the Shower to Make Notes!

January 2, 2009

I don’t know about the rest of you, but when I’m in the shower it seems like I’m always coming up with good ideas – or at least thinking of things that I need to do. The problem is, I’ll think of five things… but by the time I’m done I can only remember two! [...]
