This gives me some pretty evil ideas.



This seriously seems like something my grandpa would invent. I'm going to have to create one of these that can track squirrels and blast them.That would be immensely satisfying.

This made me sad bro.


see more TDW Geeks


Apparently the guy that played Trelane and Captain Koloth died two days ago. Worst. He was in Trouble with Tribbles, and in Squire of Gothos. Legit two of my favourite episodes of TOS. Gonna have to rewatch those. Apparently he did other stuff like singing along with Elvis in one of his songs, but I'm not sure if that compares to the masterpiece that is Trouble with Tribbles.

That's it. We don't need anymore new video games. This one is as good as it's gonna get.

So I went on steam to try and find something, and lo and behold, what was on my front page?:



Dino D-Day



It's a mod for the Half-Life 2 engine, but I'm to in shock to explain this further, so here's the trailer and the website:

The new soundtrack to my life.




I legit want this guy to shred on his guitar behind me while I walk around town. That would be the most hardcore life soundtrack ever.

For all that is good in the world, support this.

http://atatforamerica.tumblr.com/  . I don't know if I even need to explain this to make people think that this is a good idea. Basically these dudes want to build a full scale working replica of an AT-AT from star wars. I honestly want in on this so bad. I may actually go down and volunteer for this just because. If this doesn't happen I will be sad, but then I will build my own damn AT-AT.

Missed this one



Don't really need to say much about this one.

Star Wars the Musical!

I found this a while back, but never took the time to actually listen to them. Now I just did, and
they're frickin awesome. See:




I wish that Lucas hadn't shut this down so I could actually go see it.

Moonbuggy!

So we built an awesome moonbuggy! They're gonna take this thing down to Alabama to race the bugger. Unfortunately* I can't go because I got exams and labs to deal with then. But yeah! We's famous now! We got an article in the school newpaper, which is kinda lame, but CBC did a little spot on us, which is highly awesome! (at 25:00, if it doesn't work go to the cbc watch video news, Canada, Ottawa, March 23rd)

Midnight Cooking Adventure: MEGAPIZZA!



This was an awesome pizza. I pretty much threw everything I had on it. It had sauce, pesto, onions bacon and steak fried up with each other with some garlic then thrown on, pepperoni, spinach, more pepperoni on top of the cheese, some sundried tomatoes,a whole wheat crust so it's healthy, and of course some tasty cheeses on top. This bad boy was seriously like an inch and a half high when it was done. In summary, two thumbs up for giant tasty pizzas!

Gues which Homedawg just got Crysis 2?

This guy! This is the sequel to what was considered a pretty revolutionary game, not only for it's gameplay, but it forced everyone to actually upgrade their damn hardware so computer games could move forward with graphics and processing technology. I personally am not as fond of this one as the first one, but it's still pretty damn good. Here's the trailer. It doesn't seem impressive until you know that that's all actual gameplay footage, not cutscenes. so yes the game does look that nice, even during battles. While not as revolutionary as Crysis in terms of gameplay or graphics, I would still give Crysis 2 a solid 8/10

Midnight Cooking Adventure: The Manly Sandwich!

So every now and then, around midnight I feel like cooking food. I'm not nessecarily hungry, I just feel like cooking. I recently found an awesome recipe for this thing called a shooter's sandwich, so I decided to make my own with some extra ingredients, namely bacon, red wine, and sourdough bread. To say the least it was pretty damn awesome.

Best internet distraction ever.

search www.kathack.com in google. you're probably going to have to use a cached copy of it, and it works best in chrome. But it is amazing.

Engineer guy!



This dude is the best. He explains the randomest stuff, but it's all crap that you've wondered how it works.

Simon's cat!

Love this dudes shorts. New ones make my day! Also, totally understand this cats problem with sticky tape. Same thing happens to me.

Tractor Beams!

Some scientist dudes figured out how to make tractor beams work. Whoa.

Robocop!

Robocop is seriously one of my favorite cheesy action movies. For those of you that don't know, they're trying to erect a statue in Robocops honor in detriot, like they did with Rocky Balboa. Here's the original actor, Peter Weller's take on the situation:


Moar Lulz




I you haven't seen conan the barbarian, you really should. It's hilarious. It's gloriusly cheesy. But this would make it even more amazing. not gonna lie. These duders also made a whole bunch of other songs based on cheesy action movies of the 80's. Best!

New charity of choice!

So I see's this new charity for Africa, and I was at first like " Oh man another one?". Get me straight though, charity and helping other people is great, it's just that I think that the way most charities in Africa operate is kinda bad, as they depict all the starving orphans and stuff and never focus on good stuff, plus while they do feed people, they don't really help anything in the end cause they don't do much about the local economy and making it so the villagers can provide for themselves. Mama Hope though is basically all about getting these peoples feet on the ground. They don't just go in and feed people, they basically figure out exactly what's needed for the community and help them develop it themselves, which means that they will be able to provide for themselves and be independent. Also I like how they don't spam you with pictures of  sad childeren to try and get money. Instead they do stuff like this:

Oh hell yes.


RESTYLED AT-AT's! THIS IS POSSIBLY THE NERDIEST THING EVER!

FUUUUUUUUUUUU---!

Just found this out. So the CRTC (Canadian Radio-television Telecommunications Commision) has moved to allow usage based billing(UBB). This basically means you get charged for how much interwubz you use. They're pretty much curbstomping cheap and accessible internet into the ground. This usage applies to ANYTHING you do online-video streaming, email, skype, etc.- not just downloads. This is bad. Apparently it's all the Conservatives fault though. As usual.

Useful sites! Here and here

More reason to be a pirate!

Holy shit.

So the U.S. Embassy sent this cable after having dinner with the Tunisian president's son in law. I just have to say holy shit batman. When you're population has an unemployment rate of over 13%, and you have a pet tiger? Not chill bro.

Egypt's in chaos!

If you didn't know, Egypt's been having all sorts of protests against their autocratic government. I for one approve of this, as dictatorships and monarchies are ass, and tend to get really corrupt really fast.In response, the government has knocked out the internets to try an stage a media blackout. Unfortunately, Egypt is also one of the biggest recievers of military aid from the States, who have said they're staying out of this one in a press release. This means that the government is pretty well armed, and most likely quite organized. Buckle down folks, this is probably gonna get ugly. Here's a handy dandy website with all sorts of updates and generally explians the whole thing!

This is why they'll never get rid of pot.

That my friends, is a bona fide maryjane catapault.Parrently the smugglers were using it to launch their stuff over the border into the States. At this point I'm going to say that trying to bust drug operation is quite the waste of time. If the dudes you are trying to bust are inventive enough to come up with a $50 buck solution to a problem you spent several mil to create, then it's time to throw in the towel. It would honestly be twice as devastating to just legalize weed, as then people would have legit sources, there'd be competition, and you could tax the snot out of it. Or you could make more fences, and add a marijuana laser interception system. (Note: nobody steal that idea. Gonna sell it to the americans.)
Sources here and here.

My soul is dead.



I just finished playing Dead Space 1, and am now downloading Dead Space 2. This is honestly the most frightened a game has ever gotten me, save for the well in Ocarina of Time when I was 8. I'm usually pretty chill when it comes to horror and scary shit, but this is intense. Fucking space zombies fly out from nowhere randomly, and combining that with dissonant chords and the loud heartbeat of the character makes it crazy suspenseful. That and you can get ripped apart really gruesomely. That doesn't help.

MUTHAFUCKING CAPTAIN CANUCK!

So no one believes me, but there is such a thing as Captain Canuck. He was essentially the Canadian version of Captain America or Captain Britain. Apparently there may be a movie on the way for him! Can I get a FUCK YEAH! ? Try and tell me he isn't the most badass thing ever. Can already hear the taglines...

Watch out criminals! He may be Canadian, but he won't be very polite to you! The only apology you'll be getting IS HIS FISTS!

With his trusty companion, Beaver Scout, Captain Canuck shall make the coutries criminals apologise!

Captain Canuck, Eh? He knows what  it's all aboot.

Anyways, aside from all the canadian profiling I got when I was a kid in the states, this is going to be fucking awesome if it comes through.

MOAR SCIENCE BITCHES!



Graphene. Another badass material.

Totally going to try this with the car when I get home.( Note: don't tell the muzzah)



Skip to about 6:38 to see the one that's the point of this. Bonus Points to those who can figure out which movie it reminds me of.

SCIENCE BITCHES!




This dude stuck a non-Newtonian fluid in a speaker!For those of you who don't know, I find non-Newtonian fluids one of the most interesting things ever. Basically when you apply a stress/ shear force to it, the viscosity increases, or it decreases in some!

TL:DR Too much science: It can turn all solid and stuff when you poke it.

BONUS SCIENCE FUN OF THE DAY!: Make your own non Newtonian fluid! Fire some corn starch into water! Have hours of fun with that sucker! Amaze your friends! Confuse your enemies!
