Sometimes when I feel like killing someone, I do a little trick to calm myself down. I'll go over to the person's house and ring the doorbell. When the person comes to the door, I'm gone, but you know what I've left on the porch? A jack-o-lantern with a knife stuck in the side of its head with a note that says 'you.' after that I usually feel a lot better, and no harm done.
-Deep Thought of the day by Jack Handey

Don’t let people tell you what you should do with your life. If you will it, dude, it is no dream. Even if the dream is building a grizzly suit.

Terrah! Be afraid.

stupid,travel

I just recently got back from a journey which involved our country’s wonderful air travel system. I embarked on the journey hoping that the annoying and silly hysteria in the UK had not spread here. The supposed plot involving a plan to asplode a plane using some kind of liquid has led officials in the UK to ban all liquids from flights.

To my annoyance I found that the hysteria had indeed spread to the US (and even Canada). To prevent terrorists from mixing together dangerous chemicals, the Travel Safety people were requiring that everyone dump (implicitly in this dumping is mixing together) (there have been no problems with this, however) their liquids into a big trash can before going through the security checkpoint.

Ironically, while Yoo-Hoo! is not allowed on flights, exploding laptops are A-OK.

Full disclosure: I smuggled 16 ounces of liquid aboard the plane in my bladder. At one point I thought it might explode.

If you listen carefully, on a quiet night you can actually hear terrorists laughing uproariously in their caves as they work on their next project, exploding women’s undergarments.

Update: Apparently the fear is spreading. A kid accidentally dropped his iPod in the airplane toilet on a flight, which led to the plane’s emergency landing and to him being interrogated. Terrorists have won, people, and I for one welcome our new hashish-smoking overlords.

I shudder to think what terrible sacrifices these two sorcerers had to make to their dark lords in order to gain power over gravity. Nonetheless it’s quality entertainment.

Stephen Wiltshire is perhaps the most incredible artist I’ve ever seen.

He’s an autistic savant with a photographic memory, and he produces breathtakingly realistic reproduction of city skylines completely from memory.

Time travel with fluorescent LEDs

This is insane. Strobe light UV LEDs + water pump + fluorescent dye. Changing the speed of the strobe makes drops of water appear to freeze in mid air, slow down, or go backwards.

When fixies are outlawed, only outlaws will have fixies.

They’ve done it. They’ve outlawed fixed-gear bikes in Portland. This only makes getting one that much more appealing.

Now please excuse me while I check out Fixed Gear Gallery and dream of a sweet, sweet Vanilla Bike.
