  • Tense times in central Japan

    March 16, 2011
    While the government of Japan does their best to assuage our fears, the situation at TEPCO’s Daiichi nuclear power plant seems nothing short of dire. Nuclear energy has a polarizing effect on scientists; they either love it or hate it, often in equal measure. The facts: the reactor designs...

  • Fox News names nuclear reactor after Shibuya nightclub

    March 15, 2011
    To the best of this author’s knowledge (and contrary to what Fox News reported earlier), there are no nuclear plants in Japan named “Shibuyaeggman”. There are actually no nightclubs here named that either, but there is a nightclub named “Eggman” and it is situated in Shibuya. To the research...

  • Nuclear catastrophe?

    March 15, 2011
    The Government of Japan has been working hard on convincing us that everything is almost under control at TEPCO’s troubled Daiichi power station. As long as they keep the water pumping, they will be able to keep the nuclear reaction from spiraling out of control and keep an accident...

  • The big one

    March 14, 2011
    March 11, 2011 – Kofu, Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan: It was a boring Friday afternoon, much like any other – with one big exception: I had no classes. The eleventh grade teachers were waxing the floors on the third story of one of the school buildings. The shaking started slowly,...

  • Charlie Sheen tiger blood costume, in plenty of time for Halloween

    At last, a winning Halloween costume. While it never hurts to plan better, you do need to remember that most folks don’t have a 10,000 year old brain and will probably have long since forgotten about tiger blood by the time Halloween rolls around… and explaining the costume to...

  • Double automatic Glocks look like twice as much fun

    March 4, 2011
    The double fistful of lethality that you see above and below is two Glock 18s with what look to be extended magazines, fused together with a scope in the middle – in the absence of further details, I’m going to let the pictures do the talking. [The Firearm Blog...

  • Politician blames Facebook for election loss, gets litigious

    March 4, 2011
    Majed Moughni is a failed Republican candidate – he took a shot last year and came fourth in the Republican primary in Michigan’s 15th district. Some would say that coming fourth means that you are not connecting with your demographic, that people didn’t warm to your personality and that...

  • Cliff fall, a first person perspective [video]

    February 28, 2011
    The GoPro helmet cam is a great piece of technology. It is reasonably priced, captures really sharp video and is made to stand up to some serious abuse – all of which made the video of a skier losing his footing on top of a cliff that much better....

  • The best Super Mario leg tattoo you will see all day

    February 25, 2011
    If you ask me, leg tattoos are a smart way to go. At work they can stay covered up beneath a suit, but put on a pair of shorts and it is party time. Who is the man (or woman) with the Super Mario leg tattoos? What does he...
