In honor of the news about SGU getting the axe, let’s take a moment of silence to remember all the science fiction stories (from this decade) that have no proper* ending because of idiot executives. Caprica Defying Gravity Dollhouse Farscape Firefly FlashForward Heroes Jericho Journeyman Legend of the Seeker Sarah Conner Chronicles Stargate Universe Good… Continue reading Science Fiction: A doomed TV genre

Water Myths
NPR did some mythbusting this week and discovered the truthiness behind 5 things we tend to believe about water. Myth 1: Drink Eight Glasses Each Day Myth 2: Drinking Lots of Water Helps Clear Out Toxins Myth 3: Lots of Water Equals Healthier Skin Myth 4: Drinking Extra Water Leads to Weight Loss Myth 5:… Continue reading Water Myths
Video Request: Trapped in 1984
Hey everybody, here’s a track I recently put together called “Trapped in 1984.” I think it would be really cool to have some dystopian animation to go along with it, so consider this my official request for animations/videos/mashups. It’s short and sweet which makes animating easier. Download the track, see what you can do. Email… Continue reading Video Request: Trapped in 1984
Don’t Criticize the Iraq Occupation
The White House just released this Executive Order: http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/07/20070717-3.html Read it and then reread it. It’s for real. There are no 5th Amendment rights or Habeas Corpus available for anyone who falls under the specified criteria of posing “a significant risk of committing an act or acts of violence…” in regards to the Iraq occupation,… Continue reading Don’t Criticize the Iraq Occupation
April Fools
I hate the Internet on April Fools. In other news, Blizzard has released a Tinfoil Hat item in the WoW Armory, wireless power is now available, Google has released Gmail Paper, The Pirate Bay found a permanent location (the North Korean embassy in Stockholm, Sweden), and Julianne Moore is set to play Dana Scully in… Continue reading April Fools

Recently I discovered a way to tag individual items (stories) in Google Reader, and I also figured out that… Continue reading Big Brother tag and Google Reader
im in ur billboardz, bombin ur Boston
How could anybody possibly mistake an LED mooninite for a terrorist threat? We clearly have a growing generational gap between an out-of-touch Baby Boomer media and the up and coming Generation Next (aka Millenials, Generation Y, etc – we don’t have an identity yet). Aqua Teen Hunger Force is just a cartoon, and the signs… Continue reading im in ur billboardz, bombin ur Boston
Where are the left-handed microwave ovens?
We’ve moved our microwave oven into a little corner in the kitchen recently. It makes it a little difficult to open the left-hinged door. So, I’ve been searching the Internet for alternative microwave ovens with either reversible doors (like our fridge) or a left-handed door with a right hinge. So far, nothing. Do they not… Continue reading Where are the left-handed microwave ovens?
Flash Video
It isn’t as easy as it looks. I couldn’t get that last post to work, so I deleted it. Let’s just pretend the whole thing never happened… (why did I tag this as Conspiracies?)
Don’t forget to vote!
While you’re out there rubberstamping your favorite politicians, remember this documentary: [googlevideo]http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7926958774822130737[/googlevideo] HBO SPECIAL: Hacking Democracy Skip ahead to 1:09:46 for the absolute best part: a “real-world” hack of an electronic voting machine, using only a tampered memory card.
