Downtime: Boomstick

Saturday, March 29th, 2008

This is, without a doubt, my busy season. Another month of crazy schedules and I’ll be back to looking like a living, breathing human again. In the meantime, I’ve been relaxing at the end of a busy day (usually midnight or 1am) with this flash-based game. It’s addictive!

Update: I have moved the game to another [...]

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

Earlier this month, a video was making the rounds of the blogosphere highlighting the latest prototype robot put together by Boston Dynamics.

There’s a Fred Rogers cameo at the end. That’s my excuse for [...]

I’ve written a bit about wind turbines in the past and while I support their use, this video is cool as hell.
BOOOOYAH!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Thursday, February 14th, 2008

From a Reuter’s article yesterday on Valentine’s Day in Thailand:
The annual campaign to ensure good behavior on February 14 will see city officials turn on all lights at public parks in the capital Bangkok, while parents are urged to make sure their teenagers come home early.
Wow. That’ll stop sex dead in its tracks. If only [...]

Levity Sunday: Parenting is a Gas

Sunday, January 6th, 2008

Life can be serious business but as a parent and a guy who loves to laugh, I think a little levity does a world of good.
Cyanide & Happiness @ Explosm.net
This comic made me laugh pretty hard because it reminds me of myself. My own kids are little adrenaline junkies because they spent many an hour [...]
