Disturbing Art: Victorian Zombies With Severed Heads
I filed this under stuff that's completely twisted and disturbing yet interesting and intriguing. We've all seen these Victorian sculptures before, right? To me, they have a kind of "little old lady" feel to them since they were popular back when I was very young. Many times you'll see them on du ...
Now Having A Laser Light Show For Your Party Is A Breeze!
I have produced several parties and events over the past six years. We have organized events that catered to small groups of 100 people all the way up to 5,000 guests in one night. The elements that seem to capture their interests, aside from the entertainment (bands or live performers) are the vi ...
Technology: Band-Aids That Alert Us To Infection
Here we go again. Yep, this is another thing that I will be telling my grandchildren, "When I was little, we had to rip the band-aid off our cut to check to see if it was healing or infected. And it hurt!" At least, that's the way I remember it.
Some really smart and practical scientists at the ...
The Smartest Animal I’ve Ever Seen
Everything that I'm about to write is based on the assumption that the video below is real. It's so nuts to me that an octopus could do this, so I have to consider the fact that it's fake; however, for right now, I will assume it's for real.
So, we all get it that animals are smart, right? Afte ...
The Tunnel People: Could You Live Like This?
As many of you know, I work very closely with the homeless community in Atlanta.

Little People: Tiny Art Installations To Inspire You
It seems like one of the trends in photography now is taking pictures of anything that is itty-bitty. Microscope photography has gotten a lot of attention in the past year, and that is really when I remember this trend starting.
It seems people everywhere like to take pictures of small things. ...
So Analog: See Retro Media Storage Come Alive As Toys!
For the first time in a long time, again, I am completely inspired through every atom of my being. The reason for this is none other than the retro cool of old storage media. Now you might think that I have finally cracked, but stay with me for a second. We all know that the cassette, cartridge a ...
WiBro-Bridge: Share Your Wi-Fi With Just A Touch!
The connectivity through cable is a memory for most people when it comes to laptops and netbooks. With our laptops we can enjoy cable free living with access to the virtual world from just about anywhere we want to be. However, there is still a problem that most people struggle with, which can bec ...
Zero Footprint Shirts Made From Leaves
We write a lot on this site about ways we can conserve our natural resources and help the environment. Our beautiful earth is such a precious gift to us all, and sometimes I think we take that for granted.
Even though it benefits everyone when we are environmentally conscious, there are times, l ...
$1,260 Costume: And You Thought You Were Cool!
This year I didn't get the opportunity to get on my Halloween mojo like I did last year (I was, like so many others I am sure, Hannibal Lecter), but I got to see so many cool costumes nontheless. Some were cute, some where scary, and some were just unidentifiable, but that's exactly what Halloween ...
Want A Unique Wedding? Say “I Do” In A Shark Tank!
I have an officemate who is getting married next year. Today we were discussing the theme, and the things she still needs to get done before her special day. Having organized a lot of events over a span of six years, I can say that it is the type of event that is detail oriented. The bride-to-be ...
How To Overcome The Blind Spot While Driving
Our cars are getting ever more advanced, and the features are making them more secure and automated. Some people argue that going in this direction is better for everyone's safety, and to some extent I can agree. However, when does the pleasure of actually driving the car get jeopardized? I sure w ...
A Guilty Pleasure for Geeks: The Star Wars Plush Toy!
Toys are no longer just for kids, they are now for grownups too. I have friends and family members that collect unique figurines and action figures that are very expensive, and they keep them in mint condition. They even dedicate an entire room to them, or they have custom made casings to display ...
Support Builders Of Tanks, When They Build Them Like This!
I find it rather interesting that even though pretty much 98% of the world's population is against wars, we still continue to have them. The reasons could be many, but the fact remains that the reasons will never weigh more than life itself. As natural resources continue to be diminished, we will ...
