"The canary chirps, slightly off key, an aria from a forgotten opera. " - this box may not be a jewel-encrusted egg, but this is the first thing I thought of...

At least on the technical side in my part of the country, a good place is a local user group or maker/hackerspace, especially if it's a group focused on your specialty. Several of the reputable recruiters have relationships with these groups - they provide a ready pool of talent to draw from and they're smart enough

This has always been a fascinating interview - it also makes me think of what it would have been like if he were still alive and writing in the AMC/FX/HBO era of (mostly) uncensored drama...

No, I fed the troll more than I should have.

Just because YOU don't see the point does not, in fact, make it pointless...

I just use a bamboo wok scrubber and rubberband the end. $1-$2 at the Asian market down the street. Same concept, but the way the bamboo strips are sliced, there's more scrubbing area, and when it gets worn/frayed and won't scrub well, I just trim the ends with a chop saw, move the rubber band up and keep going. My

Until I saw the costumes side by side, I couldn't put my finger on what always bothered me about the Brandon Routh outfit - the tiny chest S symbol! It just doesn't look right

Also, the machines weren't build for that kind of abuse - like the article said, he let it go so long the solenoid burned out - that's going to cost the owner money to repair and could have been avoided. Take the damn tilt and save the machine for others to enjoy.

I'd seen a lot of the early US-cut imported stuff like Robotech and Tranzor Z, but I had never seen MOSPEADA, Macross, Mazinger Z, etc. A Navy shipmate of mine whose parents emigrated from Japan was doing some of the early fan-dubbing (this

Your say "real diamonds look like a ball of cotton" while Rick in the video says the complete opposite - the CZ looks like a ball of cotton...

Whatever you do, don't show this to Joerg Sprave - I'm getting scared thinking about how he would "improve" that :) LOL

Is it possible to put the original publish date on these "Blast from the Past" articles? I like to know how old these blasts are and also find it interesting to see how well/bad a post holds up over time...

I have been cable/satellite-free since 2011 - and I used "Rabbit Ears" on my HDTV for a year just fine (I picked up a mast antenna at a garage sale cheap and upgraded to that eventually) - nothing's changed

Gizmoduck! 20 years ahead of his time

"Dear, someone told me to be careful so I won't get goat-seed - what did he mean?"...there are just some questions you can't answer honestly...

You want some nerdy rap? Weird Al was doin' it long before now:

I'm not a fan of that approach either - I love reading and if I read the end of the book, then I've robbed myself of the pleasure of reading. It's usually the other way around for me - I will usually know within a few chapters if I want to read the whole thing or not and if not THEN I'll skip to the end - and I won't
