Belkin does make some really nice power/USB hubs. I'm a big fan of the Belkin Surge protectors. Two USB plugs six power plugs and in my case it plugs into the old crappy outlet in my living room of my apartment that was so old most power plugs would just fall out of it. With this the screw holds it in place in the…
I hate myself a little for using this word, but why are the legs of the table all caddywhompus?
Reminds me of the musical, If It Bleeds We Can Kill It
While I agree, I couldn't help but think of this....
Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean ? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

I was annoyed by how poorly reported this was by nearly every media outlet that copy and pasted the press release into a story. Is it so hard to spend five minutes and do a google search on the scientist(s) and what the Turing test really is?
This touring test was stacked and skewed to be in favor of the chat bot…
Shhhhhhh, you're already breaking your own request...
Battery usage is really nice, but a better way to track bandwidth usage per app would be a godsend. Been using a program to do it now, but if it was baked in to the iOS that would be super....
I saw the headline earlier in my RSS feeds and thought it sounded more like a headline grab than any kind of science. So glad I saw the link to this other website a few weeks ago, seems all the more poignant now.

I started reading a ton of the Dragon Lance books starting in 4th grade. I was complaining to a friends dad that the "Battle of the Books" selection for that year were really easy and I was finishing most of them in one or two nights of reading. So he gave me like 3 sequential books from DragonLance and I read them…
I've got a windows PC and loaded AirServer on it to send my iPhone screen to. My girlfriend has an Android and I'll have to see if these work with AirServer. Been wondering if there was a trick to get both phones to play nice with AirServer. This will be a good work around until I dump my iPhone 4s for an Android…
Out of the 100 scientists questioned about cancer they found two that don't think it's "real". So obviously there is some controversy over whether cancer is real or not in the scientific community. The only thing we can do now is try to demonize the other 98 scientists that think cancer is real because cancer is bad…
LOL, I remember M.U.S.C.L.E. those weird little pink figures... nice desktop set!
I was raised in Juneau, Alaska the back yard of my parents house was right on the edge of the Tongass National Forest and only about 3/4 of mile away from the Mendenhall Glacier. We spent our childhood running through those woods with our laser tag sets pretending we were in Star Wars: Jedi Strikes Back, or in the…
My mom had boxes for all of us kids and when we'd do spring cleaning for a garage sale she'd ask us to put one of our favorite toys in our box before we put the rest in the garage to sell. I thought it was kind of stupid as a kid, but I sure do appreciate it now as an adult. Because of that box I now still have my…
Camelizer~! I use this all the time it's helped me save so much money. I can see if a product is peaking or in a valley as far as prices go and it's pricing history which helps when I see a "super sale" on amazon where the product is 50% off I can look at the history and realize it's only 10% off the normal price,…
I live in Juneau, Alaska and commute to work on my bike about 7-8 months out of the year. I've thought about buying studded bike tires, but there are too many hills everywhere in the downtown area of Juneau and the studs only do so much to keep you from becoming a bloody smear on a steep road. I manage to get a few…
THIS!!!! Riding's like going to the gym except fun!
I learned it the hard way last fall/winter after losing 80 pounds over spring/summer from biking everywhere and putting on a couple thousand miles on my bike. I didn't want to gain it back so I got a gym membership. While going for bike rides was something I looked…
Now I just want to make a kegarator, but being the type of person that generally bites off more than i can chew, I really want to make a kegerator into the bottom of a MAME arcade cabinet with the taps on the side.... hmmmm beercade!
I check in on these kinds of arguments a few times a year just see what talking points are currently being used by each side. I say come and join the "fence party" we sit in the middle and watch each side call the other stupid. Sometimes someone from each side will have a valid point to make although it rarely rises…
