  • GNILLEY – The Yelling Game

    So an indie-developer has created an 8-bit top down game reminiscent of Zelda. While none of that is new, the underlying mechanic is amazing. Rather than using a conventional controller to do battle, a microphone is attached to the game. Pitch and volume are your weapons and oh the weapons they shall be.

  • Your WTF for the day – Harvest organs of Death Row Inmates

    Here’s something I bet you never thought of. A guy is campaigning to make it legal to use death row inmates organs for transplants. This actually makes a lot of sense, but it’s apparently been shot down in court despite requests from the inmates themselves.

  • Trashed Idea – Recycling returned underwear

    Female shoppers, be warned. Underwear at many major outlets is apparently tainted. A news team recently went undercover to reveal that returned used underwear is immediately re-tagged and put back out on the shelves. As a golden rule you should always wash your underwear, but this is creepy.

  • IE6 Funeral

    A group is putting together a funeral for IE6 given a recent announcement from Google stating they were pulling support for the browser from their applications.

    Internet Explorer Six, resident of the interwebs for over 8 years, died the morning of March 1, 2010 in Mountain View, California, as a result of a workplace injury sustained at the headquarters of Google, Inc. Internet Explorer Six, known to friends and family as “IE6,” is survived by son Internet Explorer Seven, and grand-daughter Internet Explorer Eight.

    On Thursday, March 4, 2010, at 7:00 p.m., we’ll gather with fellow IE6 friends and loved ones at Forest Room 5, 2532 15th Street, Denver, CO 80211-3902 to pay our respects.

    Those unable to attend the funeral are asked to send flowers.

  • SNL Presidents' Mega-Reunion

    So I don’t find SNL that funny anymore, and to be honest Funny or Die really is hit and miss. However, I can’t help but feel a little nostalgic as I watch this video of amazing stars take on their old roles. Lineup includes: Carrey, Carvey, Ferrell, Chase, Akroyd and Hammond. Do enjoy a reunion of classics.

  • Your WTF for the day – Rabbit VS Hunter

    You may have heard or seen some of Remi Gilliard’s videos on the internet. He’s become the prank king of our generation. If you don’t believe me, check out all of the other crap he’s done. His latest video is more subtle than his early ridiculousness, but short and sweet and OHMYGOD WHAT IS THAT RABBIT DOING TO THAT MAN?!

  • Role Models – Most Badass Cockatiel

    I’ve never really considered cockatiels anything more than bad-tasting chicken, despite my mother’s affection towards her cockatiel. However, anyone who can teach an animal to do this is automatically awesome and the animal itself should be given a Noble peace prize.

  • Trashed Idea – NASA One-Man Plane

    So NASA is prototyping a one-man plane. Technical mumbo below. While the idea itself isn’t necessarily a trashed idea, the video with it is questionable.

    Conceptual design focusing on the ability of a redundant electric propulsion system to provide new capabilities for Vertical Takeoff and Landing aircraft. Specifically utilizing electric motor variable rpm to accomplish a low tipspeed prop-rotor (400 ft/sec tip speed at hover and 200 ft/sec at cruise) to accomplish an order of magnitude reduction in community noise for close proximity operations (30-40 db reduction). The variable rpm capability also achieves a 25% improvement in prop-rotor efficiency through operation at optimal advance ratios.
