Very Impressive Stripper Pole Move

This girl's got CRAZY upper body strength to do this. I'm VERY impressed and at the same time ashamed of my gut. LOL!



The Oatmeal.com in Protest of SOPA

Matthew Inman has taken down his site in protest of SOPA. Although I don't this this hurts the agencies behind SOPA in any way it does motivate his fans to maybe look it up and see why their beloved site could be shut down. If you visit his site you will see this animated GIF up.

Hak5: Keylogging with AutoIt

I've always been hacker of some sort. Taking things apart, rooting devices and never being able to leave well enough alone. So I just discovered Hak5... Ok call me a Noob, get it out of your system. This YouTube channel ROCKS!! In my never ending quest for tech knowledge this site is 24hour Open Buffet! This is one video tutorial that caught my eyes because AutoIt seems like a very interesting scripting language and a keylogger might come in handy one day ;-)







After you're done watching 2 chicks talk about computers skip to 6:30 for the key logging tutorial.

Quantum Levitation on a Wipe'Out Track

I really think this is the real step into what hover vehicle technology could be built off. The big question I have is how much weight can it support. The effect is very impressive and with no SpecialFX it looks so much like a scene out of Star Wars.






A more basic experiment caught my eyes about a year ago... This explains the effect a little more.






Now WHERE'S MY DAMN HOVER BOARD!?!?!
See I think a lot of people get caught up in the larger scheme that hover technology needs to cover all of our roads but in actuality it doesn't. I imagine it would be great to just have a theme park or skate park that is built on the technology. It doesn't have to be everywhere at first. Civil Engineers get to it!

UPDATE!
Just moments after I posted the article above my buddy sent me this video.


Surface 2.0

I've been in love with the idea of having one of these in my home ever since I built my own HTPC and hooked it up to our living room. At $8,400 this beauty is out of my price range but one can dream right? Sure I could build my own for about $600 but no one manufacturs technology as sexy as Samsung.
