One adventure in gastronomy I have not enjoyed yet is eating an old family photo. The thought of it is
actually not that appealing to me. But what is appealing is the idea
of receiving an edible portrait of almost anything else, especially if
it’s chocolate.
O-rings. They’re those small, looped elastomers that mechanics and
photography hobbyists always seem to say they need when they’re in the
middle of some project. I was pretty much blown away by how useful these little buggers were, which led me to think about what the world would be like without o-rings–and let me just say, it wasn’t pretty.
If Charles Dickens was alive today, he might have been inclined to
create a fictionalized version of the malevolent brothers the likes of
Charles and David Koch (pronounced Coke). While these two modern-day
rogues have deviously shown how elections can be manipulated, helped
create a radical extremist group, despoiled a number of ecosystems and
are hell-bent on demonizing the current leader of the free world — the
Koch brothers run one of the largest U.S.companies (bigger than Coke), but one that
most folks never heard of.
Now we aren’t all millionaires, so we can’t possibly afford having a
couple hundred gold bars to put in our personal
safes. As an alternative, we normal folks can get ones of these Gold Bullion Optical Mouse instead. You know, to show that we can keep up with the gold trend without going into debt.
If you’ve taken all the information we covered about home automation earlier and decided that you want to install one in your home, then the next (and obvious) thing you need to do is figure out which provider to go with. Vivint appears to be a prime contender, seeing as they’ve just recently got the Central Station of the Year Award.
It seems counter-intuitive that drinking regular, moderate amounts of
alcohol would lessen the likelihood of developing rheumatoid arthritis
(RA), because the disease attacks the immune system and alcohol
weakens the immune system… But first, the study…
Not content to sit on their laurels, nor the $65 million they pocketed
from their lawsuit against Mark Zuckerberg for allegedly stealing their
Facebook idea – the Winklevoss twins have launched their own network,
named Zurker.
Part investment opportunity, part chic-magnet, part-democratic social
community, their innovative new wrinkle is to convince members they can
become joint owners of their company.
There’s a reoccurring foreboding in many
fairytales, that says: magic comes with a price. The Evil Queen that offered
Snow White the poisonous apple received her comeuppance in the end, and hopefully Orbitz
will be served a does of the same, when the traveling public learns
that Mac users are charged more than those using Windows. Yes, in this
case, you can think of Orbitz
as the Evil Queen! And the 30 percent higher rates they are offering to
Apple device owners, the fruits from their poisonous tree.
In an alternate universe somewhere, the Father of Obamacare might have
actually had a shot at becoming the next president of the United States,
had he just stuck to his guns. Because on Planet Earth, the candidate
responsible for this
accomplishment is not Obama. Obama cannot take credit for inventing the
Affordable Care Act. It was ironically his opposition who laid the
groundwork in Massachusetts, and then decided to take the wrong fork
in the road to diminish its application for the nation.
We know that art has been inspired by nature at least as far back as the
Cave Man. Technology too has had a love affair with nature for
thousands of years, though we are just recently experiencing a
resurgence with a new ‘biomimicry’ movement.
But besides biomimetic art and technology, there are biomimetic
exercises, such as those we find in certain yoga positions… and now,
an NYU design student and insomniac, has employed the shapes and sounds
of nature to help the sleepless sleep.
