Solar That Makes Sense?

If this is for real, this technology can change – well – everything:

HyperSolar, Inc. (OTCBB:HYSR.OB – News), the developer of a breakthrough technology to make renewable natural gas using solar power, today disclosed more information from its patent application for a process to produce renewable natural gas using sunlight, water and carbon dioxide.

Not a whole lotta reason, a lot less rhyme

I don’t know about the rest of y’all, but the next thing I’m doing involves pre-ordering TH1RT3EN, the latest from Megadeth (I also highly recommend United Abominations), out next Tuesday. After reading the below (and the rest of the story), I hope even the semi-headbangers will also show Mustaine’s band like support. As always, [...]

BEST – YOU TUBE – EVER

Go watch it – right NOW!!! I imagine that this what Floyd’s evil twin would be like – on crack. (And is it me, but has he lost the ability to blink?)

We need to figure out a way to hire this guy at Threedonia. This is Shat level awesomeness – just crazier!

PS: [...]

Supah Sweet

Accidentally keeping in a Chicago state of mind thanks to Mr. Trzupek, finally watched the NFL Network’s “A Football Life – Walter Payton.” Sadly, no embed, so the link will have to suffice as the teaser to look for its next airing tomorrow, 19-October, at 4 PM EST (or you can check it out in [...]

There Are Romulans At The University of Texas at Dallas

Or Klingons, whatever…

From Wired’s Danger Room

Researchers at UTD have developed a cloaking device.

To understand how it works, you need to first grasp the basics of the mirage effect. This unusual experience, sometimes seen in the desert or on hot roads during the summer, can trick your brain into seeing objects that aren’t [...]

Tommy Stinson, Perfect

Who knew my laziness getting around to posting the news on the upcoming Tommy Stinson solo album One Man Mutiny (his latest oh-so-awesomely-Keef-esque “It’s a Drag” at the link) would pay off with an even better scoop, that of the ex-Replacements bassist donating proceeds from said album to Haitian relief? Apparently my lovely wife, to [...]

Rollie, Rollie, Rollie, there’s no razors here

In a word, awesome … times 21. Let the beard-growing games begin …

Whisker Wars – a reality series about competitive facial hair growing – debuted on IFC this weekend. The show follows “Beard Team USA” as it competes in preparation for the World Beard and Mustache Championships in Norway.

Échele leche

For those actual Spanish speakers, I apologize for the liberal use (and possible mis-use) of the above phrase (which I vaguely recall from a stand-up routine I heard a few years ago as being on the risque side). Yup, 15+ years in LA and I can proudly state my knowledge of Spanish goes no [...]

Dance, MFer, Dance!!!

Dave Grohl lays down the law at his shows: come to party, not to fight. Language most definitely NSFW (or non-Rated R audiences).

More danceteria-type filth flarn filth below the fold.

This Is An Ad For A Beverage

Is it effective?

Patriots, Coaches, Difference Makers

Realizing there exist certain people who feel a coach can reach an “expiration date,” a point in the coach’s career where he or she should step aside and allow the next generation to assume the leadership position, I offer ESPN’s “Difference Makers: Joe Paterno and Mike Krzyzewski.” An ESPN original program, the special re-runs this [...]

If it’s not Sco’ish, it’s crrrrrap!!! (updated)

Happy Tartan Day, Threedonians! All these years of being a Czech/Slovak/English/Welsh/Scots/Irish/German mutt and I inexplicably don’t find out about yet another legit excuse to wreck my liver a day to celebrate a wee bit of my heritage till this week. I really gotta start paying better attention to the Livingstons and Veatches in the family. [...]

Things Blowing Up

Thing(s) being in this case a T-72 Russian Main Battle Tank.

For those who don’t know, TOW stands for Tube launched Optically tracked Wire guided missile, in the US Army they are carried on M-2 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles, and Stryker wheeled vehicles. It used to be the primary anti-tank weapon on the AH-1S and [...]

NPR…National Public Racist? Retards?

Wow, just wow. Cut their funding right f’ing now.

H/T CDR Salamander

While I’m evoking classic 80s album titles …

… nice to to hear Foo Fighters can’t slow down.

Tsk-tsk

Ha! They make it seem like Wisconsinites would actually care about having the highest rate of binge drinkers. That’s a badge of honor up der, and I say that lovingly as a former resident of the Badger State. Click here or check below the fold to see where your favorite state ranks last statistically.

Merry Christmas You Will Have

Physics Sucks

Even in Scotland – perhaps especially in Scotland.

The fun begins at about 0:35.

Opportuntities

(Yeah – I know it’s misspelled. The reason will become obvious soon.)

The interwebs is, as we all know, a mighty dangerous place. Yesterday, I was putting together a PowerPoint presentation for our clients yesterday. (Don’t ask – boring environmental crap). I believe in peppering one’s PowerPoint with interesting pictures that are germane to [...]
