In the news some time ago, ran a story regarding so-called anti-teenager devices that broadcasted an unceasing tone at a frequency audible only to people generally around 25-30 or younger. If such a tone were to be sounded in a classroom, for instance, the teacher would not realize it but the students would become agitated [...]

It took a bit of doing, but I finally managed to hammer out what I *think* is a complete list of all of the musicians/singers that appear, in order, in the “Welcome to Beijing” music video that was presented as a 100-day countdown theme before the 2008 Olympics in China. I had originally seen [...]

There are few things that simply explain the one thing Christians can all agree upon, and at the same time try to address how difficult the rest of the world makes it by refusing it even just consider the actual message instead of getting wrapped up in the side issues. YouTube to the rescue [...]

This nifty flash game is a pretty simple-but-well-planned escape adventure where you’re trapped in a small school trying to get out. The controls should be fairly intuitive.. click where you want to go and to pick up stuff.
When I started playing this game I got stuck on something really simple, so I looked [...]

Ever since I played the Standoff level, I wanted to go explore those buildings way off in the distance — but you can’t get there the regular way. Enter the Insta-Death Spawn trick.. Not my idea, but a much better tutorial of how to get it accomplished than most of the other tutorials I’ve [...]

While I was away in Idaho this past weekend — visiting relatives for the wedding of one of my cousins, seeing my uncle finish Boise’s first Iron Man half-triathalon, watching coverage of McDonald’s fries inventor and resident potato billionaire JR Simplot’s televised funeral, and impressing the in-folk with my Scattergories rectal-extractive point-scoring techniques (”things found [...]

There’s an inspiring video of some lions who attack a small herd of water buffalo, make off with one of the little ones and before they’re able to seriously maim it, the herd comes back over and one or two brave buffalos try skewering the lions and manage to rescue the baby again. Seriously, [...]

I’ve been looking into subtle advertising resources for the site here and I was just about to sign up with AdBrite, but it’s a good thing I opted to actually read the Terms of Service agreement.
I found a particular clause in the TOS that changed my mind about signing up, especially since you’re required to [...]

You may have seen quite some time ago, there was an eBay auction of a car for sale that had doors that would disappear under the chassis in a similar way that today’s power windows disappear into the door. I’ve located a page describing that automotive hackjob in greater detail, as well as a [...]

I’ve recently been sent an email forward warning against use of the 809 Area Code for phone calls, for the reason the email states, lest I be charged $2425 per minute. Yikes.
Good ole Snopes to the rescue as usual! Snopes reports the email to be fradulent, but offers important clarification on telephone scams in [...]

My uncle, Steve Hodges, is a very successful electrical engineer and inventor who’s made a fair number of useful devices such as the fisherman’s Depth Finder and now builds cellular-based utility status-monitoring devices (M2MCommM). A while back he owned and headed a company called SynPet, that manufactured household robots by the name of Newton. [...]

Home Depot Customer Detained by PD, and as noted by BoingBoing.
