Dress In Breaking Bad Style: Being Bad Never Looked So Good
AMC’s Breaking Bad television show is oh so good. As an avid fan, I am waiting for its return next summer to see the last episodes of the series.

The Couch Potato Is An Endangered Species [Infographic]
According to this infographic, the couch potato is extinct. I still know of a few couch potatoes who cling to their remote controls like they are life rafts though, so I've chosen to call couch potatoes an endangered species, which may or may not be more accurate. Semantics aside, this is very inter ...

I’m A Lumberjack: A Pillow That’s Really Ok
You know you’re ok. Your friends know you’re ok. But does the world know? Shout it to the world, baby. You’re a lumberjack and you’re ok, whether or not you like to press wild flowers.

Sci-Fi Meets Real Life: See Through Concrete Walls
Researchers at MIT's Lincoln Laboratory have just figured out how to see through concrete walls up to 8 inches thick and from 60 feet away.

10 Sarcastically Funny TV & Movie Screencaps
Back in the old days, when I had to run home from the bus stop after school to make it in time to watch Tom and Jerry at exactly 4:00, there was no chance of ever capturing a screenshot from a television show (or a movie for that matter). Back then, we had a little paperback book called a TV Guide, ...

Anachronistic City: A Life Without New Technology
I really love advertising. I love it so much that I took the course in college. Advertising has evolved a lot over recent years.

This Family Unplugged For 6 Months & Lived To Tell About it
Hmm... unplugging for six months? Are you kidding me? I can't even imagine unplugging for one week. I'm so connected to my online world that I sleep with my phone. I'm not the only one though, as it turns out, it's a habit that a lot of people have. Technology and our gadgets are no longer part of o ...
Finally! A Remote Control That Finds Itself
How many times have you lost the remote control in your house? A lot, right? I see it on Twitter all the time. People send tweets that read something like, "If I were a remote control, where would I be?" Of course, it's always funny to read where they end up finding it. It's usually in a strang ...
New World Record Set For Continuous TV Watching
So many times I've thought it would be a lot of fun to watch a 24 marathon from the beginning to the end.

Nerdified: Movie & Game Typography Posters For Geeks!
Where does creativity stop? Is there a limit to how creative we can get and still understand what it is we're doing or seeing? According to studies, we are only using 10% of our brain capacity, so I guess we're just in the beginning of the creative process. However, since being a geek is getting ...

The Next Gen Remote Control Is All About Gestures And Touch
I am not exactly an expert on remote controls since I hardly watch anything other than the Discovery channel on TV. I am not much of a series person. In my opinion, the time spent watching those programs is better spent in front of the computer working on exciting projects. I am, after all, a wor ...
