Kinda hoping it works like this...

Other things to never ask Siri....

I spent six months riding a bike for an hour at a time for 4-5 times a week before I stepped into a gym. Part of it was to convince myself I could keep with my plans before potentially throwing money away at a gym and not actually using it. So after six months of riding and dropping nearly 60 pounds (caloric…

Classic knee jerk reactionary BS. Doyle, you did good in my book.

Oh man, those big chunky plastic watches remind me of my yellow Sony sports walkman. $224 seems a little steep for these watches, the watch I keep in my pocket only cost me $200 and I can access the internet, text, listen to music and watch movies on it... oh yeah and occasionally take phone calls on it too.

It almost looks like the pre-alpha version of Wall-e

Wow, that just made it on my list of B-movies I still need to see. As an aside, have you seen the Japanese movie Wild Zero? A band with sword guitars and I think at one point they cut an airplane in half while standing on top of a sky scraper. Bonus, the DVD's subtitles has a drinking game (The instructions are in…

Okay Virginia, show us on the map where Kentucky touched you.

Yeah, going to be a bit of a pain to set up to work as a small box over the existing deadbolt but a servos a battery pack and an arduino with a wifi and a motor board I might be able to pull it off. I think www.instructables.com actually had some good guides for similar ideas.

Yeah that was when I really didn't know my renters rights very well and I recognized the guy from seeing him work around the apartment complex so it wasn't waking up to a stranger in my kitchen, it was waking up to a near stranger in my kitchen (somehow it seemed a little better.. I don't know why). I have since…

I'm sorry, it wasn't a simple setup. I've been doing I.T. and programming for the last 20 years and about five years ago started working with Arduino's and Raspberry Pi's as cheap computer/electronics platforms for building my own electronics or hacking other electronics I own to add additional functionality to them.…

I have a home server that I never turn off so I can access it from work and while on the road via VPN (although I used to use TeamViewer to do it). I ended up setting up a few wireless cameras that detect motion and had mounted one in a hidden spot that covers the front door and another one overlooking the living room…

I think I've eaten a Death Blossom at a Chili's once....

If I can eat my dishes instead of wash them!? Where do I sign up!

I'm building a slightly dated 3D Printer called the RepRap Prusa Mendel. It's been an off and on again project for the last couple of years when I occasionally have both time and money available to work on it. My problem is I keep updating parts or modifying things on it for better efficiency and ease of use, but…

This is really cool, now we just need the authors guild to not be dicks and file a lawsuit against them saying that this device is taking away revenue from their audio books, since that's what they already did once with the newer kindles that could read the text to you in that wonderfully horrible computer synthesized…

We were having all kinds of issues with lunches and food going missing in our office fridge about a year and a half ago. People started putting up nasty notes on the fridge about the thief. After a few weeks it escalated so that one day all the lunches were in the garbage with coffee and gounds poured over the top…

I wonder if more social psychologists have similar feelings in regards to the scientific method, as it would sure explain a lot of the psuedo-science I've read lately that tries to pass itself off as hard science when the number of people in the studies are often in the single digits. They often are only following a…

A bit spendy, but I like this style where the TV doesn't have shelving above it as I worry about the amount of heat that would collect at the top.
