If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

The link shows a video of one of the "things" I am into.  And the video shows when the "things" go terribly wrong...

If you ever cease to post I will now assume you died in  fantastically amusing manner.

How many of you are DIY types/  I'm way big into that, a little too much so at times.

I play geek from 8-5 Monday through Friday. I hate to play geek outside of work, it amazes other IT folks in other departments that I am not glued to a computer 24/7. Work is work and play is play.

What's up with that? I met mine in CO, she lives in VA ( by amazing coincidence, 20 miles from my parents!). The airlines are going to make a killing off of you and me!

Geekdom is more than the tinkering the electronic gew-gaws we as a species have constructed of late.

It is deeply tied with a fascination of how EVERYTHING works.


That which you understand, you can control and manipulate to your own ends.
