Now You Can Have A Spy Camera On Your Shirt!
I grew up watching spy/action movies. My favorite was 007 because I thought the gadgets he used were totally awesome. I never thought I would be a gadget lover when I grew up.

The Phone That Becomes The Current Weather
While I was attending University, there were a few years when I wanted to be a Meteorologist. I've always been fascinated by weather, especially when Mother Nature becomes a mad scientist, and we see crazy weather patterns.

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?

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 ...
