  • The Orange Box: HL2++

    HL: The Orange Box, coolest game bundle ever? It just might be, if the buzz is to be believed. I know the folks in my circle who have already played it are sold, especially with Portal. TF2 looks like a blast as well. I need this.

  • Updates all around

    WordPress, phpBB and Gallery were all updated to the latest versions, as well as the integration plugins. Let me know if any problems are encountered!

  • Where's a Pirate when you need 'em??

    Female ninjas robbing gas stations. I guess real ultimate power requires less than $50 and some Slim Jims.

  • Decide the Fate of 756

    Vote for great justice. Mark Ecko is apparently the buyer of Barry Bonds 756th home run ball. He has given we, the people, three choices for the ball’s ultimate fate: give it to Cooperstown as-is, brand it with an asterisk and THEN give it to the Hall, or shoot it into space. I’m voting brand…

  • Russia Builds 'Most Powerful' Non-Nuclear Bomb; Claims it Doesn't Hurt Environment

    The Russians claim it is equivalent to 44 tons of TNT, with a 990 foot blast radius. My favorite part of the article: “The tests have shown that the new air-delivered ordnance is comparable to a nuclear weapon in its efficiency and capability,” said Col.-Gen. Alexander Rukshin, a deputy chief of the Russian military’s General…

  • Never mind…Ankiel the Cheater

    Ankiel got a full one year course of Human Growth Hormone, stopping it’s use just before it was banned by baseball. Way to take a ‘feel good’ story and turn it into yet another black eye for baseball. Ugh.

  • Rick Ankiel

    With all the negative/controversial stories in pro sports, I’d like to highlight one of the coolest of the current baseball season, the triumphant return of Rick Ankiel. He originally broke into the majors in 1999 and pitched a full season for the St. Louis Cardinals in 2000, going 11-7. He was a Rookie of the…

  • Images of Airliner Struck by Lightning

    The Giz is bringing it today, following up the Jet-Powered Luge with images of a plane being struck by lightning on takeoff. Unreal. I would hate to be watching a plane take off and see that, even if I know logically that it’s safe.

  • Jet-Powered Luge Breaks World Speed Record

    Crazy man/2006 UK Street Luge champ Joel King strapped a 90,000 rpm jet engine to his luge, reaching a top speed of 112 mph. This is part of the Airwaves Kick It Up program, where they apparently throw large amounts of jack at people who want to ‘Kick up’ what they do to the next…

  • Super-Thin Televisions

    Sharp has unveiled ‘experimental’ TVs that are just 20mm thick. That’s around 3/4 of an inch for the rest of us. The gallery at the link has some examples of how a TV that size could be mounted. I WANT.

  • Nifty-keen Watch

    But watch out for your bank account. :) It’s called the Tellurium J. Kepler Limited, and it costs over $100,000. Only 99 will be made.

  • Best Flying Device 1974 Had to Offer

    No Arthur, you’re very flying! There was a ‘Rocket Belt Conference’ held at the Niagara Falls Airbase, highlighted by Eric Scott flying around with his jetpack.
