Who’s Most Likely To Upgrade To The iPhone 5 [Infographic]
All the hoopla about the iPhone 5 is soon to come to an end. The hype and the anticipation is soon to be answered by the highly welcomed keynote that unfortunately Steve Jobs will not be able to deliver this time around. The torch has instead been passed on to the new CEO, Tim Cook, who I am sure wi ...

Zombie Map: Now You Know Where They Are From [Data Map]
Many people keep asking themselves what they would do if the dead suddenly started rising. Alright, maybe not many people, but a few of you people out there actually do, and it is by all means a valid question worth digging deeper into. To answer it, I think we first need to know if this "phenomenon ...

Pictogram Song Posters: A Picture Is All It Takes [12 Pics]
I think we are all familiar with the saying that a picture is worth more than a thousand words, right? For songwriters, the big challenge has always been to deliver a message based on melody and lyrics, yet still get the core of your thoughts understood. It doesn't necessarily have to be a deep thou ...
The Bacon Font: A Uniquely Delicious Alphabet
Even after writing at least a dozen articles about bacon, I'm still baffled by our fascination with it. I admit that I am a true bacon lover, and I can put away a pound of bacon like it was nobody's business, but our obsession with bacon goes beyond just eating it. I remember it started back around ...
Stylish Shoes Molded From Recycled Cardboard
When I was doing research for this article, I learned a lot about cardboard with regards to recycling. There are two types of cardboard. The first is what's called corrugated cardboard, and it's the type of cardboard we normally see things packed in for shipping. It has that lightweight ruffled laye ...

How Google Affects Our Memory [Infographic]
I remember back towards the beginning of the year when Chris Pirillo and Danny Brown both wrote articles about how social media is, in a sense, making us lazy. They started a whole online conversation about it, and many other blogs weighed in with their opinions on the subject.
The story kind of ...
Chocolate Covered Deep Fried Triple Double Oreos
Oh. My. Gosh. In case you've been living under a rock, you may not know that last month Triple Double Oreos hit the shelves at the supermarket. I've never seen a cookie get so much PR before. The Internet blew up about it, and even the most usually reserved websites got all gitty. These cookies aren ...
This Geeky Kickass NES Mod Makes Me Hot & Heavy
Is it weird that I get so excited over a well-done, glossy, geeky NES mod? I hope not. We see a lot of these mods, but rarely are they as nicely done as this. The last time I saw an NES mod that was this cool was the one that was turned into a fabulous to-die-for lunchbox. If you want to see that on ...
When They Were Young: Baby Star Wars Characters
Before the prequels were released and George Lucas had just announced that he was working on another set of three movies I, along with millions of other Star Wars fans, got really excited. I believe it was about a couple of weeks after the announcement that we still didn't know whether it was going ...
Igloo Hotel: Pure Zen In The Middle Of All The Snow
I am a real sucker for travel experiences and if I had to choose I would go for an experience rather than some gadget or a toy. The experience lasts a lifetime while a gadget only lasts as long as its technology is fresh enough to be compatible with the world. I recently wrote an article about the T ...
Gladiator’s Bike: The Entertainment Vehicle Of The Future
Not too long ago I saw a program on Discovery that talked about the entertainment industry in the future. How we are to wander ever deeper into the virtual world and become immersed in its way of engaging us, both in entertainment and in business. According to them we are to fuse the world we live i ...

Office Bliss: The Importance Of Happiness At Work [Infographic]
If you have ever been subject to the limitations of office hours, you know that the inspiration they can bring is about as much as you will get action from a stone on your driveway. It can be such a boring time sitting hour after hour in an office working on something that you know you will most lik ...
Poor Little Trees: Cut Down Forest Trees With Sad Faces
Trees are living things, and each time one gets cut down, it's a little sad. Some trees grow for decades to become the huge natural masterpieces we sometimes see when we take a walk in the woods. I think that is one reason why I love hiking and camping so much, seeing that natural beauty never gets ...
Inspiration: A Tea Bag Package Folds Into An Origami Cup
Someday, when I learn how to make my own infographics, I'm going to design one about the difference between tea drinkers and coffee drinkers. I hope it will be as insightful and funny as this one about cat people and dog people. Since I work with Richard all day, maybe I notice it more than most peo ...
