• Guess it was a big storm after all…

    We got hit pretty hard this weekend with that snow storm, although there were never really enough winds to call it a blizzard. Some areas got more than 2 feet of snow (at least 14-16 inches in my driveway by my back’s calculations). One of my colleagues got stuck in Cleveland thanks to his car…

  • Tailrace – Niagara Falls' Hidden Tunnel

    the Vanishing Point has a very interesting article on ‘Tailrace‘, a series of tunnels under and around Niagara Falls from a long abandoned power plant built by the Toronto Power Company. It’s 10 stories underground, and only accessible by a trap door set in the ceiling 30 feet above the floor. There are some great…

  • iPhone SDK Doesn't Suck

    Gizmodo has a roundup of their iPhone SDK coverage here, but the thing that jumped out at me (being a huge fan of Will Wright) is that the iPhone will have the full-blown version of Spore available for it. Other highlights include VOIP via WiFi and an AIM client, still no Flash though. iPod Touch…

  • The Cougar Ace

    I may be late to the party here, but you MUST read the amazingly cool story of Titan Salvage from Wired. The story is about the Cougar Ace, bound for the US with nearly 5000 Mazdas on board (at a value of more than $100 million) started listing to port while attempting to purge the…

  • Ball Pit Upgrade!

    Randall Munroe (of xkcd infamy) and his friends have chipped in and quintupled the volume of his ball pit (previously mentioned). The blog entry comes complete with an environmentalist complaining about the ‘wastefulness’ of all the plastic. Awesome!

  • Wooden Robot FTW

    Okay…let’s combine this: with those powered suits the Japanese are all about…and make a combat game show out of it. Rock ’em sock ’em robots! Spotted at Gizmodo.

  • NBA Jumps on the Outdoor Game Bandwagon

    The Phoenix Suns and Denver Nuggets are going to play a preseason game outside next year, at a tennis venue in Indian Wells, CA. The only other time the Association has played outside was back in 1972, with two games in Puerto Rico. The October 11th game will be shown on TNT, and tickets for…

  • DO WANT: Belt-fed Nerf Cannon

    Losing your latest cubicle war? Maybe you need to upgrade your firepower. Gizmodo spotted the Nerf Vulcan EBF-25 at Toy Fair 2008. For $40, you get the cannon on a tripod, 25 ‘sonic’ darts (that whistle when fired), and the warm feeling in your pants when your coworkers duck for cover from your dart salvos.

  • Rough Couple of Days…

    Details are on this forum post, but the gist is, wife and unborn baby OK, my Jeep, not so much. Also, insurance companies SUCK.

  • Tiny LEGO Awesomeness

    Tim Goddard is a LEGO ninja. He’s built tiny LEGO models of all sorts of Star Wars vehicles and sets which look seriously sweet. The way he’s able to take the smallest LEGO bits and make them recognizable as X-Wings or TIE Fighters is super-cool.
