Bad Dog, Bad Dog – USB “Humping Dog” Device
This USB "Humping Dog" has quickly become my favorite USB device. When you bust this out, you'll break up the work day with a great belly laugh. It is funny just to look at, but when you plug it into your computer, Fido immediately starts humping your keyboard. This little pup does make a small sc ...
Tribes Next
Tribes 2 was my first online gaming experience.  With smoke pouring from my overused 56k modem I played with pings of over 400ms (which in gamer-land is suicide when trying to shoot someone) and loved every second. Then Tribes Vengeance came out, and Tribes 2 support slowed until it was compl ...

Saving up your money for something special? Well, this guy did and it's not exactly what you would have thought.

Road Trip Anyone? Most Beautiful Time Lapse!
My love for Los Angeles is beyond expression. When I first saw this video I couldn't understand why the hell this guy wanted to leave L.A to drive cross country.

Idiots Eat Worlds Hottest Pepper – That’s Hot!
Why bring this up? Well, just had a truly hot chili dinner and of course had to expand my knowledge on the Pepper itself. Turns out the Habanero Pepper is the worlds hottest pepper (rumor says there are two hotter though) and should not be consumed in it's wholeness. However, apparently there are so ...
Domino – World Record
It seems I am on to World Records as of lately. Few things impress me as much as well executed world records. And if it Domino's in the numbers of millions I am even more impressed. Sometimes though I wonder if people have nothing else to do then hang strapped placing out those bricks. But then agai ...
iPhone Ad You will Never See..
Apple's iPhone ads tell you that whatever you want to do, "there's an app for that." Since the release of the first iPhone ad, a lot of parodies have been created. Slate V came up with yet another funny spoof. Here it talks about how you can deal with so many applications on your iPhone. Yes, ...
Rubiks Cube – World Record
We have all tried it only to get frustrated about those last squares not aligning right on the cube. We've all been overjoyed by the fantastic feeling of great achievement when we finally, after a half a day worth of trying, finishing the whole damn thing. I got curious what the fastest time was fin ...
Dismount, its a nice way of saying “cause pain to”…
Dismount has almost become a series, there are 2 versions of the game. In a nutshell you have a "ragdoll" physics dude that you basically push down the stairs/hit with a truck and see how much damage you can rack up. Sounds sick eh? Well actually once you start playing its almost as if you for ...

I know!! It's the best toy to have been invented EVER! It is so much fun that even grownups can't seem to put them small blocks of joy down even though they have turned 50 or above. Well, as they say, age doesn't matter. But LEGO was invented to stimulate kids brains and educate their third dimensio ...
