I have seen the future. And it is good.The cans are regular 16 ounce size but only contain 10.5 ounces of liquid, as the rest of the space contains the cooling apparatus: a dessicant that when activated draws the heat from the beverage into a heat sink, causing the drink to lower a minimum of…

I spent the weekend in Milwaukee and Antioch, IL for my cousin Eddie’s wedding. Great times were had by all, but the trip home was an ordeal. I could have sworn I heard that blades less than 4 inches were allowed on flights and the mini Swiss Army knife I keep on my keychain would…

Check out this incredible video of just how crazy it is to drive in India.

I’m getting really freaked out by all the spam I’m getting lately containing quotes from Neal Stephensen’s Cryptonomicon. Here is one of of the subjects:The knock on Rudolf von Hacklheber’s door had come at four o’clock in the morning, a time exploited by the Gestapo for its psychological effect. Rudy is wide awake. Even if…

We had a town wide yard sale on Saturday and the weather was great. We unloaded a ton of stuff and made about $300. I started taking our stuff outside at 7:45AM and our yard was packed by 8:00! The vultures were even going through our boxes that we hadn’t unpacked yet. Haha. The only…

Want to know how to trade one red paperclip for a house? This guy is doing it, although he’s not quite there yet. He traded the paper clip for a fish pen, and then the fish pen for a door knob, then the door knob for a coleman stove someone didn’t want, and so on.…

I pulled out an old hard drive tonight and found something I thought I’d lost for good. When I was in college I spent a few weeks working on a game in C++/DirectX that could be described as a cross between Spy Hunter and Grand Theft Auto. I never finished it, but it’s playable and…

I think I fixed the last bug in the team games. I use two different queries to retrieve the players in each game and I forgot to update one of them before. If the current team game goes smooth I’ll make it an official game option. I’ve been playing around with ajax and I think…

TiVo is one of the greatest inventions of all time. Not only does it allow you to watch shows you would have probably missed, but it allows you to catch subtle details no one even sees. For example, yesterday I watched a segment on the Daily Show with Rob Corddry about intolerance towards Racists. At…

I have three invites to the Allpeers beta program. Does anyone want in? It’s basically a P2P file sharing extension for Firefox that lets you share files with your friends. More info on it here.

First of all I have to give props to my cousin Jessica for scoring the highest score ever in the GameShow last month. She beat out Holly in the last two days. For some reason my iPod stopped syncing up properly with iTunes, so I reformatted it and am in the process of loading everything…

I’ll cool it with the YouTube posts for a while, but this is hilarious. This kid is super excited about getting a Nintendo 64 for Christmas.

Some people on the forum noticed I have a test game running for Odd Man In that includes tribes. Putting players together in groups is the next step for Odd Man In and here is what I wrote in the forums. The way it currently works is as follows: Group assignments are given out randomly…

There isn’t a faster way to learn not to stick your fingers through a car window than getting your finger crunched in the power windows, which happened to me over the weekend. Ouch. It looks fine, but it’s still numb. Is that bad? Maybe I need one of these. I picked up Wolf Parade’s Apologies…
