By Sterling “Chip” Camden Contributing Writer, [GAS] Email is one of the greatest innovations in communication of our time, but it can also be a tremendous drain on our time. Wading through all the spam, phishing lures, Facebook invites, and conspiracy theories from distant relatives to find the really important missives can feel like sorting [...]
An hilarious video showing what life would be like if people around you would act just like they do on Facebook. Check it out:
Well, the crack didn’t really just appear in space; it’s an image from NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope from several years ago. It was notable at the time for looking like a snake slithering across the Milky Way, but the crack is actually a “core of a thick, sooty cloud large enough to swallow dozens of [...]
Hey everyone! Just a quick post this morning to tell everyone that today is Captain Picard Day! Instead of writing a whole new article for the occasion, I’ll point you to the post we wrote last year: Happy Captain Picard Day everyone! (Click!)

It’s a response to the vuvuzela, a long horn (usually made of plastic) which is particularly popular with soccer fans [...]
Chances are good you have a Facebook profile. Chances are even better that, if you do have an account, you check it at least once a day. You might be a professional Farmviller or the President of 100 Facebook groups, but do you really know Facebook and what you’ve gotten yourself into? It’s time for [...]
Tyler Fouche filmed an archer shooting various objects via a phantom camera at 3000 FPS. Check it out: Spectacular, isn’t it?

Also, I have a deep loathing for mayonnaise (yes, I realize that many of you think I’m crazy, but I really do find it gross). So reading about the capture of this serial book defiler in [...]
Every so often, I get dragged into a meeting that goes way beyond its original 30 minute time slot.
