Sometimes you are surfing the internet and run across something so frigging gosh-darn awesome you slap yourself in the head and say “I wish I was doing that!” Well, I wish I was working on projects with Pat Regan at Vulcania Submarine.
Having stumbled across his site, linked from a scubaboard forum, I was amazed. Regan [...]

Pumpkin Laser Light Show

From Instructables… I’d want one that shoots down incoming nuclear warheads.

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.
Mexican soldiers [...]

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 [...]

My apologies for the awkward formatting on this post, but I couldn’t bear to shear away or compress a single pixel of one man’s glorious office conquest.

There is no beer here.

Seriously, do not mess around with me. Where is the beer?

Oh, you’re good.

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.

DIY Bacon Smoking

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 [...]

Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels. Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them breaks and splinters. That is the “loser,” and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round.
