They talk to the researchers exploring the feasibility of interacting with implanted devices, and it looks very promising, though not as nice as an artistic tattoo. If you’re not comfortable [...]
Tweet I spend time at The Oatmeal couple times a month. Was contemplating the AtheistCartoons.com. Some interesting points of view that are funny, but they aren’t… and remind me of several people. Ones like: gotcha! and the other ground zero. Pretty sure this video is one of the scariest things I’ve seen in a long [...]
Tweet Was talking to Steve about his "in the works" band site and I wondered… discounting social sites (LinkedIn, Facebook, MySpace, Google+, Twitter, etc.) —how many times can I find my siblings through Google in the first couple of pages of results.

Tweet The statistic that truly blows me away is that in Tennessee, only 33% of GOP primary voters think Barack Obama was born in the United States!
