We need more cutting edge scientific-like stuff like this. I mean where’s the phrenology apps so I can compile all those selfie shots of friends and have it analyze the shape of their head to make sure non of my friends are killers or sociopaths.

Yeah part of plowshare for Alaska was using nukes to create deeper harbors for boats. That seems like an insane solution to a minor problem that dredging would have most likely solved. It felt like they were really reaching for some kind of idea on how to use nukes for civics projects.

I used to work for a beer distributor in Alaska that dealt with many of the national brands. Most beer has the same thing, although to make it more confusing the string of numbers is usually longer and all the stuff at the beginning is just for what plant it was bottled at and what batch it was the last 3 digits…

When I was in school for programming I bought two of the MS wired natural keyboards and wore them both out over about 10 years of use. I ended up going back to a standard mechanical keyboard, but there are days when I do nothing but code where I really miss the natural keyboards.

Loving hiking in the summertime in Juneau, Alaska and eating berries along the way. Blueberries are everywhere up here and you can find salmon berries pretty easily as well down by the muskeg. My favorite available berry up here is probably the nagoonberry which is just a low lying raspberry variant.

I don't know I think I saw a Man Vs. Wild episode once where he gorged himself on dingleberries and washed it down with a water-ish substance from a trouser snake.

Just do what the rest of us do and convert your box wine bags into a camelback system. #AlcoholicOnTheGo

Closest thing to a cure I've found is a bacon sandwich and pediasure, also you're body will build an immunity to this cure if used regularly so use it very sparingly.

I live in Juneau, AK and I've had to do this twice with landlords. One claimed I'd stolen all his furniture from his house. When I moved into it the only thing in the house was a giant cable spool that had been cut down to act as a coffee table and a few dishes that were in a single cupboard in the kitchen. The…

There's lots of "arc lighters" available on ebay for 25-60 seems the form factor is that of a zippo style lighter though.

The man had a dream he was willing to die for. When was the last time any of us were that passionate about something? /s

Yeah, I'm thinking football and hockey pads, wonder how expensive it would be to scale this up to fit larger items...

I got a scale that measures body fat % as well. I had been doing lots of cardio to lose weight, mainly riding my bicycle twice a day for 45min @ 20mph and when I cut it down to once a day of 60min @ 20mph I added some strength training with weights. During that time my weight loss totally slowed and then plateaued,…

It's so good, I watched it about a month ago on Netflix, it was a really well done documentary on voice acting and it's unique challenges.

It's always interesting to see where these kinds of things take you. I had an interest in Arduino's and had a few semesters of programming C/C++ in college, but I knew almost nothing about electronics components. So about five years ago I built a little 3x3x3 LED cube figured it out and then started playing with…

Less terrifying and more creepy would be my opinion.

I hear they come with a complimentary copy of this book as well.

Juneau, AK has been the same. We've gotten almost no snow on the ground and our skiing mountain Eagle Crest hasn't opened because of the warm weather. Lots of rain, but not enough cold days for snow. Our winter has just felt like a really long version of Fall it's mainly been mid 30's to low 40's most of the time. …

One of the things I have to constantly remind my family and friends who ask about passwords is that your email password should always be unique and different from any other password you use. A lot of websites use your email as your login name and if you use the same password on that site and they get compromised the…

I just had the magnifier and light so I could play my gameboy in the back of the van during family road trips once it got dark.
