The More You Know

To this day, some Chinese farmers are still using poop as a fuel. They dump pig feces and other animal waste into a large holding area. The bacteria in the poo creates methane, a natural gas. A pipe is then inserted into the fecal dump and the natural gas is then brought into the home for cooking.

Mmmm mmmm, nothing beats a home cooked meal! Read more ...

Look Out!!!! MONSTERS!!!!

Dreamworks’s animated B movie style sci-fi, centers around the gigantic misfortunes of Susan Murphy (Reese Witherspoon), a victim of meteorite radiation on her wedding day causing her to grow into a 50-foot hotty. Susan (now named Ginormica) is teamed with a rag tag group of monsters who are banded together by the government to combat an invasion from a retro-styled alien robot under the control of Overlord Gallaxhar (Rainn Wilson). The gang made up of bug-headed mad scientist, Dr. Cockroach (Hugh Laurie), muscular fishman The Missing Link (Will Arnett), gelatinous glob B.O.B. (Seth Rogen), and Insectosaurus the Japanese Mothra work great together as a ensemble cast.

Referencing the monster movies of the 1950s such as The Blob, Attack Of The 50ft Woman and The Fly among others, a creature feature has never looked so good. Every scene is painted in vivid color and is razor sharp. The kids may not catch all the references to sci-fi past, but they’ll enjoy the spectacular action and the in-your face 3D comedy. (I recommend seeing it in 3D with the kids.) These stunning 3D visuals combined with the excellent cast and snappy script make for an entertaining 94 minutes of animated fun sure to please adults and kids alike.


Great Quote: “I come in peace. I mean you no harm and you all will die.”

I &hearts Megan Fox

Roles in Transformers and How to Lose Friends & Alienate People made her face famous, but it's her body that gets most of the talk. She has an incredible complexion and perfect curves to drive men wild. In fact, Megan Fox’s smokin’ hot body is actually her own blank canvas, having somewhere around eight tattoos strategically placed to draw attention away from her perfect face. But what really attracts me to her is seeing her wearing tight Star Wars shirts, calling Guitar Hero the “greatest game ever”, and knowing that she is willing to date geeks like David Silver. And now it seems she is intent on raising her geek cred even more. She is sporting this new Autobot tattoo on the cover of Empire. If you are a geek and didn't love her before, I'm sure you do now. Yes the tattoo is a fake, just publicity for the movie but it does make her even hotter, sending many salivating boys into a nerdgasm. Including myself.....

Searching For The Missing Link

We’ve all heard the legend of the loch ness monster or "Nessie" as her close friends and family call her. We’ve also heard the legend of Bigfoot aka Sasquatch. Today I want to discuss another myth, that of the gamer girl.

Does she exist? Is she out there in the wild, amongst us "normal" guy gamers? Or was she just created by the industry to keep the dreams of lonely guys alive? The missing demographic during the early days of gaming, has she finally arrived? Recent studies suggest that between 35 and 45% of gamers are women. If this were true, shouldn’t we all be running into them at parties, bars, just about anywhere, right? According to the numbers, there are literally millions of chicks out there that play games. So then where are they?

Well, she does exist, and not just as a delusion in the warped minds of the creators of the Nerdcore calendars. (NSFW) I have seen and come into contact with many “gamer girls.” Even you may have had a brush or two with these wily creatures and not realized. The reason for this is these gamer girls don’t advertise their geekiness. Let’s be honest for a second; most everyone still associates gaming with being a “geek.” The media perpetuates this image by portraying a gamer as an overweight pimple faced teenager who plays games in mom’s basement. So obviously being associated with this image is the last thing these girls want. Gamer girls are girls after all and want to be seen in that light.

What I have come to realize is that the stereotype of a girl gamer who only enjoys princess games, or puppy stuff, is just not true. They also enjoy action packed shooters like a Halo or COD. They love running around in the mystical lands of WOW conjuring spells to banish evil gnomes. They are also rather reluctant to make their favorite hobby public. They avoid gaming oriented conversation among peers, female-oriented avatars and names, and in general… other guys. Apparently, girl gamers exist while hiding the fact that they play games! And I fully understand why they feel the need to veil their identities online. The number of potty mouthed idiots online is astronomically staggering. All the gamer girls I know never divulge the truth unless it is absolutely necessary. Why would they want to deal with the barrage of friends request and then disparaging comments when they aren’t accepted?

So yeah, they exist, they are out there amongst us. When you do run into one don’t be a prepubescent ass turd and start making fun of her or do anything else annoying for that matter. Just leave her be, and soon game servers will be flooded with super hot chicks that play games!!! …….. ehh probably not…

The Golden Age Of The Mixtape Is Over...

My wife asked me to re-create the first mixtape I had made her in an iTunes playlist for her iPod. Could I recreate a mixtape I had made nearly six years ago for her? Yeah, I could do that. Had she asked me to take out the trash, or to get my clothes off the floor and into the hamper, I probably would have said "in a minute," then forgotten about it. But creating a playlist for her was something I was willing to do immediately. (Now I know six years ago the digital revolution was well under way, but I was a romantic of sorts and made her a mixtape on a cassette she could play in her old Nissan's tapedeck anyway.)

It didn't take me very long to put the playlist together, seeing as how I had most of the tracks on my own iPod. I simply exported the tracks from my iTunes library and imported them to hers. Viola! A perfect digital replica of an analog cassette mixtape. But there was something unsatisfying about this. It was too easy. I thought about the time it took to create the original and all the thought that went into it. I couldn't just drag and drop then re-order and be done with it.

There was an art to making a mixtape... the specific order of the tracks was crucial to the delivery of the message of the mixtape as a whole. Choosing the right bands and even the tempo of the tracks was a skill learned over time. Back in the day making mixtapes for a road trip, that one month "going together" anniversary, for a buddy that moved out to the west coast to let him know what music was jumping on the east coast.... and of course for the house parties, all required a great deal of thought. There was no "instant" skipping of tracks like on an iPod. There was something cool and romantic about the idea of a mixtape. Now making a mix was hard, it required a good read of the person for whom you made the mix for. And sure having all your music at your fingertips on your ipod is great but listening to a mixtape that was made personally for you was a special experience.

That first song was cruicial in trying to convince them to listen to the rest of your masterpiece. After that the trick was to ensure good flow from one song to another. Over the next 60 or 90 minutes (depending on your tape choice) you were telling a story of sorts. When you felt the pop of the play button realigning itself with the others, you knew your journey had come to an end.

Maybe I'm just being nostalgic, but I liked the idea that when you gave a friend or your crush a mixtape it would, over the next few weeks and months, become the soundtrack to their lives.
