Music as Art … Sheet Music Art, That Is!
An artistic duo called ‘People Too’ from Novabrinsk in Russia are known for their amazing papercraft that seeks to bring small scenes to life, but apparently they can also bring sheet music to life as well! We all know that music is art, and therefore sheet music contains art … but it is amazing when [...]
Groupon Shows Their “Scientific” Side For Earth Day
Archaeologists, paleontologists, geologists, and religious leaders have devoted their lives to studying how old the earth is…luckily for them, they can all retire! Groupon and Edward Norton have the answer! The earth is 400 years old! I am not clear on how they came up with that answer, especially since it would make Christopher Columbus [...]
Angry Birds Has Gone too Far
Sarah and I were grocery shopping the other day, when we came across a rather unusual display. Sure, Shop Rite hawks all sorts of gummy candies, but seriously…Angry Birds candy? I can (almost) understand the Angry Birds iPhone cases and similar accessories, but the tie-ins have gone too far. In addition to Angry Birds candy, [...]
Hilariously Effective Nike ‘I Would Run to You’ Commercial
How often do you see a full 2.5-minute commercial that even as it is obviously selling a brand, makes you stop and fully engage in the story? Well, this new commercial for Nike featuring two lovers who find themselves across the country and missing one another is cute, endearing, and hilarious. It is a great [...]
Frank Warren’s TED Talk on Half a Million Secrets
There is not a Sunday morning that goes by where I don’t check out the latest offerings from PostSecret, a project started after its creator, Frank Warren, had a dream while visiting Paris in 2003. The idea behind the site is that people send in their secrets anonymously, on 4×6 postcards that they have created themselves. Senders [...]
Need Proof Optical Media is Dead? Look at My Wife.
If ever you wondered if optical media (CDs and DVDs) is dead and gone this brief interaction from last night should make the point with utter clarity. A bit of background before the “blow by blow” Elana is not a techie. She’s not anti-technology either. As she often puts it, “I think this stuff is [...]
New Geek Watch May Be Able To Bend Space and Time
Looks like our old buddy Jason Lazarus from Gadgets and Gear has happened upon yet another interesting item. ”It’s just a watch”, you say? No! Do you want to emulate the Starship Enterprise, and warp the very fabric of space/time? Do you? Okay, no, this watch probably won’t take you that far, but it still [...]
Think Making a Promo-Video is Easy? Think Again.
If you think making a promo-video is easy, then you need to think again. What you see on TV, in the movies or even on You Tube has been sliced and diced in more ways than you can ever imagine. It also likely took five or ten or fifty takes to get the right words [...]
Would You Sell an Extra Organ for the Latest Tech?
I have no idea if the story I just read in the Telegraph is true or not, but supposedly there is a 17 year old in China who is suffering from a renal deficiency after selling his kidney to be used in an illegal transplant operation. He got 22,000 yuan (about £2200 or $3500) in [...]
Nyan Cat Gets an ‘Adventure’ for its First Birthday
Hard to believe that the meme that is Nyan Cat is only one year old today! It is a sign of the fast-moving times that these things go from nothing to everywhere to nothing again so quickly! Here are the basics from Wikipedia: Nyan Cat is the name of a YouTube video uploaded in April [...]
The Cure for a Bad Day
I had a bad day today. Nothing terrible, but it started with a dog that popped out of nowhere to harass me during my run, continued with me nearly falling over trying to avoid the dog, followed up with severe traffic on my way to work, and of course, computer problems in the office. Plus [...]

Love Bacon? Now You Can Take Your Love to the Grave!
You are born. You live. You die. And now … you can be buried in a BACON coffin! According to a local NBC news story, a Seattle company named J & D’s Foods – the guys behind products such as Baconaisse and BaconLube – have just introduced the Bacon Coffin. Here is their description: Is [...]
Twitter Meets Toilet Humor With Sh-tter
Before I get into Sh-tter, the Twitter Toilet Paper (and yes, it is a real product!), I need to share a quick story. You see, this is not my first experience with novelty toilet paper. After college my friend made extra money by advertising moving services on Craigslist, and somehow a bunch of us got [...]
