Get Your Canned Pork Brains in Milk Gravy On!

Wow, count me in. But remember before you reach for that second can, it's worth taking special note of the cholesterol rating. *The recommended daily intake (RDI) of Cholesterol is 300 mg.(via neatorama)Here's a sideline idea. What about...

Space Ramp.

Recently I've been the cause of a number of heated arguments lately in the Yahoo Chat Science rooms. I've been flamed, booted, threatened, called an Idiot and a Troll and why?Well it's because of a space ramp.Now I've been aware of the brilliant space elevator project for some time, but I've been wondering for a number of years whether in theory a space ramp could be constructed that you could walk...

Are You a Redneck Fundy?

Small one today 'cos I am totally werked' over.I recently stumbled over the 'Top Ten Signs You're a Fundamentalist Christian list'.Some of my favourites ... (thanks craigslist) You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours. You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from...

Life in Beta.

Here are some more wonderfully inventive examples of just how very clever and evolved we are now that we have embedded our busy lives with all this much needed technology and associated paraphernalia. With your tech scarf or hoodie, you'll be looking...

Schrodinger's mouse trap.

A few months back we discovered we have mice living under our house and from time to time the occasional Aeon Flux type rodent somehow manages to bypass and allude the gambit that is our "Robotic laser, pressure sensor SOTA megamouse security system series IV (beta)".Which sounds really flash but is really just a matter of making sure the hotwater cupboard door remains shut.Which means that with the...

Someone 2.0

Someone needs to create an applet that does not allow a new visitor access to a Maori content site without an ePorwhiri.Someone needs to design and synergise USB/WiFi sex toys with some sort of P2P network, for more organic meaningful cybersex.Someone needs to patent a portable external womb, with an artificial umbilical cord, rejunvenating nutrient cell pack and double ended gene specific socket...

Ambergris: Floating Gold.

With our so called intelligent human minds tucked away safely inside our fleshy mammalian skin sacks, we consider ourselves to be the most sentient lifeform on the planet, and yet some of us 'smarties' are willing to pay large sums of moola for whale vomit.Ambergris is both fascinating and lucrative with New Zealand waters and beaches ranked high amongst the top hotspots in the world for finding...

Mmmm...this coffee tastes like sh-t!

I can just imagine the chic hipster Java-heads in the village cooly lining up to pay an unbelievable $75 US dollars for a quarter pound of marsupial scat to knock back probably with a nice biscotti or florintine.Here's a quick intro followed by a link...

The Winter Solstice has arrived in New Zealand.

Brrr! It's currently 9 degrees Celsius (48 degrees Fahrenheit) outside, pitch black, with the howling wind and rain driving hard against my straining windows. But I'm happy. Because tonight at 00:26; the Sun is at its most Northerly point in the sky and at the middle of the day on June 22, it reaches its lowest altitude, from the Northern horizon. Making tonight dear readers, the longest night of...

The Sounds of Silence.

Cell phones are a new technology for me. Embarrassingly I've (reluctantly) just brought my 1st one and I have to admit as far as cell phones go, it seems I'm in the slow lane right now.Everywhere I look I see teens with customised bling cell faceplates, cameras/video snapping, p2p mp3 file sharing, mmprpg gaming and walkie talkie capability. These teens will never know a time before the existence...

Exactly how far south does the no. 12 South Karori bus go?

Our bus ride home was crazy. 1stly the bus driver refused to stop at the bus stop to pick us up and only stopped because the lights changed red.As luck would have it, we sat near the backdoor but Sue changed sides opting to sit in front of me instead of across and having to talk through people once it filled up.The somewhat erratic bus driver was traveling faster than he should have been in the peak...

Dr. StrangePost or how I learned to stop worrying and learned to love the atomic blog.

Sometimes I, like most of people from time to time, find this whole blogging epidemic pandemic a grinding bitch.I won't dwell on the point, but now that I'm working full time, I wonder how the 'great ones' out there constantly pull it out every day. That's dedication man. That's Stamina. That's madd as love for your peeps, and much like the greedy wank, (you know, the lazy one you bang out after the...

Shame on you Telecom!

Shame shame know your name!There's a Telecom Xtra Broadband advert playing in the background announcing the good news,"Cheaper, faster broadband has finally arrived!"What a load of saggy-old-lady-bitch-titties.That's right Teresa Gattung, you suck.I've got beef with you saying that I'm going to be paying less for faster broadband when you know damn well that's nothing but a sour floppy cock in the...
