Okay, so today Frank and I got into a discussion about nanotechnology (which I won’t go into here) that boils down to this: after someone successfully demonstrates molecular assemblers nothing else matters. Nothing in human history has ever had such a potential to change everything. Except maybe for dogs. Well, when I say that I’m [...]

Everyday Low Prices = Everyday Low Wages, Health Care provided by Joe Public.

Then this other guy, let’s call him, oh, say Jewish, comes out with [...]

I’m not, but Dr. Death is. The Freeboard is a skateboard with snowboard-like handling. From my position of snow white skateboarding ignorance, it looks much more fluid and (dare I say it?) easier than skateboarding. Hell, it’s a longboard with casters, but it’s still cool. Here’s a video.

This, and others for sale here. I also like the idea that I’m somebody’s fetish. I mean, aren’t we all?

I think I may have mentioned at some point that we are all going to die. Every last one of us. No, it’s true. As long as we all remain confined to one small planet the chances of an event that wipes us all out are pretty good. I didn’t know how good until I [...]
