Un. Be. Lievable. The familiar Torani-labeled bottles that you see at your local coffee shop come in a wide variety of flavors. Does bacon have to be one of them? Apparently, yes.
I’d consider myself a bacon lover through and through but I draw the line at Torani’s suggestion that I add this bacon syrup “to cocktails, lattes, …
Project Serpo details what apparently happened after the famous Roswell crash in 1947. Ever see Close Encounters of the Third Kind? Apparently that’s similar to what happened in the Serpo case, which details a story of an exchange program set up to send 12 of our people to the home planet of the aliens who crashed in the New Mexico …
The tollbooth transponder that I have on my car’s windshield is slick city, my main man. So slick, in fact, that it makes taking my wallet out of my back pocket to pay for gas, curbside pickup, and fast food seem like the most un-American waste of my very important time in recent memory.
I propose that the interconnected network of …
I’m one fed up Hotmail user – and a Hotmail user who writes for a web site. So I get to make my rant public. Bear with me, I’m just the culture guy here –
Somewhere around 3 a.m. last Thursday, my e-mail account was closed. Deleted. Destroyed. Assassinated. Presumably by Hotmail administrators. Without any notice to me. I’ve …
If you’ve been endlessly searching for an academic approach to humor, look no further than Microsoft’s Education site. Specifically, the “competency” section for “humor.”
Did you know that there are four levels of proficiency in humor? It’s true. If you’re just at level one (basic), you may wonder where to find humor. …
I think it was John Wayne who once remarked, ‘you never really know a man till you’ve seen his bar.’ Or maybe that was just me talking in a John Wayne voice. If so it was a pretty good John Wayne voice.
My point is, your bookmark bar boils crap down to the bare essentials. To the extent that you are what you surf, the bar is who you …
There was some scuttlebutt—not quite a brouhaha—this weekend when Stephen Hawking said the following during his new Into the Universe series on the Discovery Channel:
“If aliens visit us, I think the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn’t turn out well for the Native Americans.”
The theory …
My wife and I live on a somewhat modest income—she’s a teacher, I’m a world-famous blogger—and she still owns well over 1,000 purses. I haven’t counted them all by hand, so my math may be off. Whatever the case, I can only imagine that people in higher economic classes than us have entire rooms in their homes for the sole

Available as a developer tool since 2008, Google has now officially opened up Earth View in Google Maps to everyone. You need to install the Google Earth plugin for your browser but once it’s up and running, you’ll have access to three dimensional views of certain places of interest (search for Stonehenge and zoom in, for example).

The Story
In the 1930s, a girl exploring the Copper Canyon region of Mexico stumbled upon an adult-sized skeleton in an abandoned mine. Next to the skeleton was a mound of dirt under which was buried a child-size skeleton.
Once unearthed, the skull of the smaller skeleton proved to be unusual in that “the volume of the interior …
Don’t ask me what we use Chartbeat for because I sit and stare at it all day trying to figure it out. What I can tell you is that it shows us where our traffic is coming from and one particular search term jumped out at Allie earlier today. It’s funny and disturbing. I Googled it and I can tell you that Techland does not show up on the …
Digital billboards exist, yes, but why not make some of them connected billboards that anybody could use to run custom advertising campaigns similar to how Google’s AdWords platform works?
If you do a search on Google, the ads you see on the right-hand side of the search results pages are AdWords advertisements. People and companies …
