I know the idea of robots in space sounds cool but lets think this through.
First of all the robot is fucking huge, “11-foot arms, a shoulder span of nearly 8 feet and a height of 12 feet”. It doesn’t have legs but with arms like that you don’t actually need appendages on the bottom [...]

I’m visiting Australia for business. This is only my second trip down here but last time I was relegated to Surfer’s Paradise and Brisbane. Great, beautiful beaches but it was still a beach. This time I’m down in Canberra (then Melbourne, then Sydney) and was lucky enough to visit over Australia Day (American’s [...]

I decided to try come out of my cocoon and try all the social networking sites. Of course there are quite a few and the attempts to unify all of these sites haven’t been successful. So for your enjoyment, as I know you all are very interested in my life, I have started [...]

I’m doing a major upgrade of WordPress and was doing it in a sandbox. Unfortunately it needed to upgrade the database table structure. I really didn’t feel like copying and renaming tables and shit so I upgraded the main table structure and made my sandbox active. Sorry for the horrific interface hopefully [...]

I, like every other red-blooded human, hate red light & speed cameras. I’ve never been hit by one personally but I do consider them revenue generating machines. In Maryland tickets from a red light camera don’t even count as a moving violation so how can you claim otherwise? I was very interested [...]

EUROPEANS HEIGHTEN THREAT LEVELS
The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats and have [...]
