Amazing. Reading this it appears a 63 year old Russian émigré to Israel has solved a 38 year old math puzzle: how to give perfect directions.
I’m not sure I get the ins and outs but… Wow!
A mathematical puzzle that baffled the top minds in the esoteric field of symbolic dynamics for nearly four decades has […]

Oh the times I have wanted to hit the eject button! Perhaps to launch a rocket and destroy the slow jerk in the Caddy? Or to vaporize the small woman in the RAV-4? Seems such cool gadgetry is available outside of Q’s labs — you just need the disposable cash of a drug runner.

I actually like the lesson this girl is learning: no matter how much good you do, if you break the rules — you gots to pay!
Seems the young girl was on the bus when calamity struck and she leapt to action…
Marina High School student Amanda Rouse was on a bus with 40 elementary school students […]

I was making my preprogrammed assault on the local Molly Stone’s Market and when reaching for some range-frei, zero chemicals added eggs I saw Batter Blaster: the pancake batter that comes in an aerosol can. I had read about this on several blogs I follow and figured, ‘Lets give it a try!’ Even as […]

Popular Mechanics has an okay list of “25 Skills Every Man Should Know” on the site. (Disclosure: I am a contributing editor at the magazine. Don’t fire me because I’m about to slag your list a little!)
I’ve put the top five from Pop Mech below, which I don’t think they were ranking in order of […]

If, by some act of reverse metempsychosis, we took all that was worthy in George Lucas’ imagination and injected it into Jules Verne, this might have resulted a century earlier: the steampunk lightsaber, hand-crafted here by a friend of “CaptainChewbacca” at the Stardestroyer.net forums.
I’ve never really been a gigantic Star Wars fan, but I must […]

Boo Davis is a designer, illustrator and quiltmaker living in Seattle. She spent much of her youth cozied up under her grandmother’s quilt listening to Ozzy. As a grown-up metalhead and design geek, the intersection of cute and evil is what she finds most compelling.

If you’re equipped with a mechanism to smoke your own meats at home—and if you aren’t, make it so—you may absorb the same savory inspiration that seeped into my adipose tissues when reading this write-up of one man’s quest to create his own bacon.
The process sounds simply enough: cure; smoke; fry; eat. And you can’t […]

Although my Guitar Hero days are numbered as I get ready to move to Rock Band, I have to salute these two great tastes that taste great together: Lego and DIY GH controllers.

These sort of table saws have been around for a while, but beyond knowing they held a mild charge, I didn’t realize how the braking worked. I’ll ask the hard question: What are we supposed to use when we need to pare down hunks of salami? (Answer: Use a lathe to create delicious chair legs.)
