SAVING THE WORLD ONE STEP AT A TIME

OK it’s true; getting rid of plastic shopping bags will not cure the world of all the evils associated with Global Warming! But it is a start! There is a lot of hypocrisy in the world when it comes to people (including myself of course) spouting opinions on how to make the world a better [...]

Niche Virtual Worlds

A growing part of the virtual world market is niche virtual worlds. While worlds like Second Life will take anyone and cater to many diverse interests, others are built around a specific interest right from the start.

In the United States people have become engaged in historic numbers in campaigns to support candidates who do not fit the traditional ‘mold’ of the past few decades. John McCain, [...]

What if humans could consume plastic?

Just imagine a world where humans could go the gyre and have a seafood buffet…How about we genetically modify a human to eat plastic and expel oil?

If you’re a fan of the solar system and space travel, you’re going to love this week’s geek toy. This projector, used in domed auditoriums, has magnificent optical innovation. Specifically designed for planetariums, you wouldn’t want to miss a show with one of these suckers. It’s called the powerdome VELVET from Carl Zeiss. Check it [...]
