Like It's 2001 All Over Again
After playing their "last show" back in 2003, somewhat under the radar indie rockers Gods Reflex (sic) have found themselves together and making music again. Despite the grammar nazi in me disliking the absence of an apostrophe in their name, I couldn't be happier about a band reuniting. I suppose my own personal history leaves a soft spot for mid-west indie rock but ...

Never Get Laid Again: Wii Themed Valentine's
I suppose depending on the relationship, this could really be quite sweet, and not totally nerdy and pathetic. In any case, Etsy has a listing of this personally-made Wii themed Valentine's card that you can give to your special (geek) someone this February 14th. Wii Sports, a soon to be sexual euphemism?

The CharmingBurka
The CharmingBurka is a burka that comes equipped with a Bluetooth antenna & micro-controller. This lets the wearer send a self-defined photo to nearby phones with Bluetooth enabled--all without breaking any rules of the Koran! I guess the target audience for such a device are those who are strictly religions and don't wish to deviate from that, but still wanna let ...

Take Active Part In A Revolution
So today is "Super Tuesday" which means that many states are holding their primary elections. Of course this only means something if you're a citizen of these United States. If you are, do your civic duty and get into a booth and make something happen. I won't go so far as to say who you should vote for, but I think you all know who I'm backing. In any case, stop read ...

Barack Obama Has A Posse
Shepard Fairey, well-known artist and somewhat social subvert has produced a rather striking print in a style similar to his OBEY series of work to promote 2008 presidental hopeful, Barack Obama. Apperently, prints sold out very quickly. From Fairey's own... keyboard: I believe with great conviction that Barack Obama should be the next President. I have been payin ...

US Navy Blows Up Shit
Seems the Navy has developed a railgun firing system that pretty much ruins anyone's day that's on the receiving end. Turns out it breaks records, as well as anything else near it. In the demonstration Thursday, engineers fired the electromagnetic railgun at what they said was a record power level: 10 megajoules. The previous railgun power-use record was about 9 me ...

Russia Brings Sexy Back To Military Uniforms
It looks as though the Russian Army has recently redesigned some of their uniforms. All I can say is, if the average Russian Army recruit looks anything like this, I'm looking forward to Cold War 2: Electric Boogaloo.
