"And that's why I can make a radio out of a coconut, and not fix a hole in a boat."

You, sitting there: describe how Gilligan's Island shaped who you are today.

I'm Speechless

Let's review, 'cause, it's time to cook...

If you haven't been watching Breaking Bad, you're missing out. Former X-Files writer Vince Gilligan has put together one hell of a show. The final 8 episodes begin tonight on AMC. In case you've been watching Phish concerts online, watching cat videos on you tube, or hangin out at Rock ' Roll Snob in stead of watching Breaking Bad, here's a little synopsis to get you caught up...

AMC is running the first 8 episodes of season 5 prior to the new episode today. Yeah Bitch!

Oh! Oh! Oh!

If I ever make it to the San Diego Comic Con, I'm fairly certain I'll need to seek medical attention for an erection lasting longer than four hours.

Peek Inside Tesla's Robotic Factory

Nerdgasm!

N-D-T! N-D-T!!

I've been watching lots of Neil deGrasse Tyson on the youtubes.

Hoping For A Wooden Car...

... but I'll settle for one of these. Computer-controlled machining now allows for the sophisticated construction of a high-performance hollow wooden bicycle frame.

 curly maple, hickory, bamboo...dang! from the Renovo Bikes website:

• Wood absorbs vibration better than steel, aluminum or carbon, producing a uniquely smooth ride. 
• The fatigue life of wood exceeds steel or aluminum, and approaches carbon 
• Wood is not susceptible to crack propagation from dents like the metals, nor is it notch-sensitive or damage-concealing like carbon.  
• Wood is as stiff pound for pound as the metals, even as it’s better at absorbing road vibration. 
• And last but not least, wood is sustainable, recyclable, biodegradable, and has a tiny carbon footprint, while the primary production of steel, aluminum, titanium and carbon fiber are incredibly polluting and unfriendly to our environment.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

UPDATE! As Eric noted, the video's been yanked from YouTube. But you can still see it here.

For now.

Shit

 No official confirmation yet, but apparently Ray Bradbury has died at age 91.

Evacuate?

Stephen Hawking says our long-term future as a species - like, beyond the next 100-200 years - depends on colonizing space. (transcript here). Any of you upstanding bastards have time shares off-planet?

One More Prank

This one's pretty impressive ...

Maybe She Did It For Science

Did you ever think of that?

UPDATE: The link for this video is here. I couldn't find the parameter in the code to disable autoplay and it was driving me crazy. That is all.

Talented People Still Suck

Modern Times “is a low/no budget film created entirely against a green screen with friends as actors."

I would just like to point out that that's a Boards of Canada song playing during the second video clip.  Haters can suck it.

Oh, Baby

This looks promising ...

Catchy Friday

Anybody remember this? It's "Working Girl" by The Members, and I can't begin to tell you how many times this song has gotten stuck in my head over the years.

The 13-year-old me always wondered what the big deal was about being in love with a businesswoman. The video didn't exactly help.

I guess I've gotten to the age where I completely forget certain things until I stumble across them. Here's a perfect example.
