Rehab Nation Pt 1
The morning sun is well in the bright blue sky as I reach the rooftop of the building that used to be a warehouse or an assembly plant or whatever. The four-story yellow brick building with all the windows broken out is now just the headquarters of my crew, The Blind Pigs. Alcoholics all. It’s [...]
DateWare: My New Girlfriend Is A.I.
She’s hot. Not super-model hot, they got those but well…I wanted someone that looked like she’d actually go out with me. The FemBot lines look like strippers, you know…big boobs, pouty lips and “baby-waybe-pookie-poo” conversation chips. If I wanted a hooker I’d get one. I didn’t want sex. I wanted a girlfriend. So when I [...]

How Exoskeleton’s Changed Cage Fighting: Part -1
I was all washed up. Broken neck, broken pelvis…broken dream. And get this, my old lady of sixteen years, Agnes, left me for the guy what did it. Right…she hooked up with that Rebel Dillon, a real prick. But a killer. Before he got into the game you rarely had a guy die in the [...]
RIP: The man who envisioned Star Wars

Sneak Peek – Men In Black 3 Trailer
I know it’s cheesy, but I’m a super fan of the Men In Black franchise, and I am super geeked for the return of Agents J & K this Memorial Day for MIB3 (3D) Will Smith has a little more age setting in on his face – and something has definitely happened to Tommy Lee [...]
I like my commute scrambled…..
Oh, the quandaries of human life. Most of us have come to accept the limitations of our physical selves. I accept the fact that I can’t pull a Kitty Pryde, and my powers of flight never developed more than being able to jump really high on my bed, but there is one limitation that I [...]

Magic is dead. Long live magic.
MIT genius Jinha Lee has created an incredible computer-controlled system for levitating objects. The project, called ZeroN, uses magnets, a Kinect visual system, plus special software that enables either the computer to move a steel ball around in space, or a human to just grab it and move it, essentially telling the computer where it [...]
How to get from NY to China in 2hrs
A magnetic levitation vacuum tube can transport you around the world in just six hours. Did a cartoon predict our future this whole time? The worst part of traveling is getting stuck on a massively lengthy flight, especially if you’re in a window seat next to a crying baby, a snorer, or that anxious passenger [...]
Is A Cat Parasite Controlling Your Brain?
Just when the recession has Americans unemployed, foreclosed on and generally panicked…enter a new biological contagion. TOXOS, a parasite found in cat poop, has crept into the brains of 20 million Americans and is literally controlling aspects of their behavior. Has Your Cat Infected You With a Mind-Controlling Parasite? Probably. Nature is capable of engineering [...]
Radiation Storm Hits Earth…Yesterday?
If the word ‘radiation’ makes you nervous…and it should, then ‘radiation-storm’ should make you soil your trousers. Or should it? Well, as of last night our Mother Earth is being hit, through all day Wednesday, with the biggest solar radiation storm since 2005. Lock up your satellites and batten down your power-lines because a Coronal [...]
Neurowear– Brain Controlled Cat Ears
Looking for that perfect gift for your favorite geek? Consider purchasing a Necomimi, the furry, high-tech fashion accessory that should be should be on the market later this fall. Literally translated as “cat ears,” Necomimi appears at first glance to be a regular headband topped with two furry ears—just like what you’d expect to receive [...]
GHOST…US Military Meets Sci-Fi!
If you combined a stealth jet fighter and an attack helicopter and stuck them in the water, what would you get? Well, according to the folks at New Hampshire’s Juliet Marine Systems (JMS), you’d get their GHOST marine platform. Privately developed for possible use by the U.S. Navy, the boat would reportedly be invisible to [...]
Flyboards!
This may be the coolest thing I’ve seen since Wingsuits! Flyboards allow you to not only fly over the water but also swim like a dolphin…yes, that’s correct…dive out of the water like a dolphin, dive under and back up again. Amazing!!!
