I used to love bacon. Just check out this cool bacon suitcase! I would eat it every day, sometimes on grilled cheese, sometimes all by itself. I just couldn’t get enough of the pure strips of pork perfection. That all changed last December when I saw the ‘How It’s Made’ on Bacon (see the video below). All I can say is some things are better left without us knowing how they are made.
Ok now to the point. Crispy bacon from the microwave is not a myth. I have made it with this device, and it is great every time. The problem is it douches the inside of your microwave with bacon juice. You know, your vegetarian girlfriend’s favorite thing to see when she opens up the microwave.
But look what I found, a solution that provides crispy, mess-free microwave bacon cooking. WowBacon. Pretty cool idea. Pretty queer name.
Why buy the new 3G iPhone when you can purchase the first generation iPhone in 24K GOLD…for many times the original price. Currently it is on eBay with 13 hours left, and it is sitting at $1000 with ZERO bids. So if you want an iPhone at more than twice the price and half the speed and storage of the 2nd generation, this is the one for you. Oh and it is also unlocked.
“Anybody toting guns and stripping moose don’t care too much about what they do with Jews and blacks.”
Yeah just checking. This fucker is crazy. I can assure you that even people who are not gun toting moose strippers don’t care what they do with Jews and blacks. That is kind of how it has always been. Incidentally, I am Jewish and I think this guy is a fucking nutbar. What’s more is he used to be a federal judge, who was convicted of corruption and accepting bribes in 1989. He was of course removed from the bench and then pardoned by Clinton. The best part is that is we elected him to congress in 1992.
Nice one people.
A Jewish man warns a black man of the evils of moose strippers like Palin
Just a thought, but I think that the future president of the United States should be able to multitask. However John McCain has dropped everything to run back to Washington to save the day! But really all this is, is some good old fashioned grandstanding. It all can be traced back to 2005 with Hurricane Katrina. The perception is that the government really dropped the ball and was unresponsive for days and weeks after the disaster. You can see the difference in their handling of disasters when they considered canceling the RNC this year because of hurricane whatever it was called.
Apparently we are in a ‘financial crisis’ and no one wants to be the the “too little too late” candidate. So now we get a bunch of “I’m here and making a difference, see me? I am right here! HERE!, and yes I care about the little people.”
So John McCain is off to Washington to fix the economy make Obama look inept! He wants to postpone all debates and campaigning for now. Obviously he doesn’t want sound bites from that overshadowing the sound bites of him fixing our economy.
I don’t see how one has to do with the other though. He should still be able to do his ‘day job’ with plenty of time left over to have a debate in the evening. Honestly I don’t think McCain cares about the financial crisis. I think he cares about looking like he cares…more than Obama.
I was just reading this article on CNN that states that Obama contacted McCain before his ‘drop everything’ announcement, wanting to put out a bi-partisan statement defining what needs to be done to resolve the crisis. McCain saw this as an opportunity to look like the proactive hero, and he took it. Too bad for him that most people can see right through it.
Anyway, I think David Letterman sums it up really nicely. The economy is about to explode!
(CNET) Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has caught on to the fact that a sizeable handful of his 100-million-plus users say they aren’t too thrilled with the site’s new redesign. But he won’t change anything, as Facebook occasionally has in the face of user revolt.
A post on the company blog, authored by Zuckerberg, wrote that the site’s new focus–which emphasizes the sharing of media and information — is “an important step for us.”
The guys over at Hack a Day show how to completely melt away your data and damn near anything else you need to lose – with Thermite. I have hammered nails through hard drives, screws, drills, I have even shot them…but this is the coolest by far. (FYI Thermite burns at 4566 °F)
I have to agree with them though… DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME!
John McCain is telling us what his true feelings are on stem cell research.
We could be looking at 4-8 more years of set backs in embryonic stem cell research…
Under President Bush’s policy, SCNT is denied federal funding, but still legal. McCain would make it “a federal crime for researchers to use cells or fetal tissue from an embryo created for research purposes.”
Republican presidential nominee John McCain would criminalize a promising branch of stem cell research, according to a statement issued by the candidate’s campaign. Though such legislation would probably not survive Congress, he might extend President Bush’s much-criticized limitation of embryonic stem cell research.
“He cannot be trusted to be a supporter of embryonic stem cell research,” said University of Pennsylvania bioethicist Art Caplan. “He is moving toward a straight pro-life stance and this sort of answer can only be read as such.”
CNET has a video interview with the author of this book. It looks pretty interesting. Check out the interview below.
The first generation of “digital natives” – children who were born into and raised in the digital world – are coming of age, and soon our world will be reshaped in their image. Our economy, our cultural life, even the shape of our family life will be forever transformed.
But who are these digital natives? How are they different from older generations – or “digital immigrants” – and what is the world they’re creating going to look like? In Born Digital, leading internet and technology experts John Palfrey and Urs Gasser offer a sociological portrait of this exotic tribe of young people who can seem, even to those merely a generation older, both extraordinarily sophisticated and strangely narrow.
Based on original research, Born Digital explores a broad range of issues, from the highly philosophical to the purely practical: What does identity mean for young people who have dozens of online profiles and avatars? Should we worry about privacy issues – or is privacy even a relevant concern for digital natives? How does the concept of safety translate into an increasingly virtual world? Is “stranger-danger” a real problem, or a red herring? What lies ahead – socially, professionally, and psychologically – for this generation?
A smart, practical guide to a brave new world and its complex inhabitants, Born Digital will be essential reading for parents, teachers, and the myriad of confused adults who want to understand the digital present – and shape the digital future.
This is pretty refreshing. A large screen, large keyboard portable device to read your email, that just does email. I have a phone that can make me coffee and pick up the cleaning, but it isn’t really a joy to check email with. This thing looks truly uncomplicated. All I see is a wheel, a button, a keyboard and a screen –and it is nice and thin. nationwide coverage. small monthly fee. backlit keyboard.
There are a few down sides: Only sync with 3 accounts. Why only 3? GPRS data, not 3G? I guess if it is just email. Only supports JPEG attachments. No webpage viewing.
Kinda cool if you just need to check a couple accounts and do nothing else. The device is only $99, service is $20 a month.
