A London based British Man just invented a small water bottle/filtration system that can filter out among other things fecal matter (poo) and viruses found in dirty water. He says that he hopes it can be used in disasters to help the people affected get quick & easy access to clean drinking water. Sounds awesome except that it costs ~$380.00. Great for this guy, bad for the refugees. You think...

Hello all that might still be reading this, forgive me for my prolonged absence. I have been in the process of moving locations from the never changing Rochester scene to the sort of cool Cambridge, MA scene. I accepted a wonderful job in Gloucester, MA which is about 45 mins from Cambridge and right next to where that movie "The Covenant" supposedly took place (yes I saw it and thought it was ok)....

Recently in China a huge fossil was uncovered which is believed to belong to a a huge dino bird that towered over other feathered dinosaurs of the time. I can't imagine the fear that this freakish thing inspired, then again we know that dinosaurs did not exist anyway since there is no mention of them in the Bible...News for some of those in states where cell phone use while driving is illegal, a...

Oh where, oh where has my friend Pinto gone.?Oh where, oh where could he be? That was some fucked up shit Pinto. Or actually, the situation was handled really badly. Next time you want to change plans on someone, maybe you should just call them and try and explain it to them instead of getting drunk and telling them they are shit out of lu...

Don't take them along on trips, they might poison your bag of chips. Check out the stories on the Chair Robot and the Bear Robot. Can you imagine seeing this thing coming towards you on the battlefield after you have been shot? I would probably pop my cyanide pill or whatever they are giving the soldiers these days to avoid torture and questioni...

Look how fun rookie day CAN be...it's not all hospital beds ands blue faced kids...Two words that are supposed to be the ultimate defense if any trouble were ever to befall the Rochester Institute of Technology's rugby team. Officer: ...And who supplied the alcohol?Rugby Team Member: Two other players, their names were Salty and Doughnuts, I don't know their real names.Officer: You don't know their...

Bringing you yet another sweet free album, the people over at Williams Street have teamed up with eSurance for the release of "Warm & Scratchy". The album takes a departure from the usual hip hop/beat driven tracks and delivers some indie bands including Tv On The Radio and Asobi Seksu, two of my favorite bands. Peep it Adultswim.com and thank God that you know ...

First on the plate today is news of the Apple's offering of new "+" songs that come free of DRM and at a higher quality than the previous tracks from the itunes music store, but at a $0.30 increase in price. Videos that are DRM free will still be $2.00. The new tracks run at a 26Kbps rate while the old tracks were 128 Kbps. Although I congratulate Apple for trying come up with viable solution to...

No Vivek, as in The Cansecos, a band. Here's the song I found, for free on eMusic I might add, that forced me to download the rest of the alb...

Also known as euro dance or just 80's dance to me, I stumbled onto this genre recently through a chick that is notably not Italian. Sally Shapiro does not look anything like you might guess from her airy, spacey vocals which no doubt adds to her image as a self professed "shy" girl. Italo disco purists would say that I simply found some more Euro dance music, but since the genre was actually described...

Bjork's new album is actually quite good. After Medulla's vocal experimentation I thought she was leaving her awesome and unpredictable beats behind. Glad to say that they are back, in full force. If u want to peep the album it's he...

You know enough people don't give Adult Swim (the name given to the segment of cartoons that plays from 10:30pm to 2am every night on cartoon network) enough credit for all the shit that they produce. They have given us Three full length albums as well as a pretty hot EP. They have thrown hip hop shows and have solidified their presence in pop culture, all starting from the humble beginnings of...

Can anyone say graphics tablet? Well if you ever felt like dabbling with one, but did not want to spend the money on one and you love gadgets this is for you. Actually it's for me. Peep the website for the details on the Laptop Tabl...

I gotta give DJ P. Minto credit for re-introducing me to one of the lesser listened to styles of electronica known as Minimal Techno. Mostly sounding like something that blasts out of cars driven by eastern Europeans, the bass lines along with all other sounds are pretty simple with even a simple arrangement. This makes for a pretty relaxing electronic experience that may inspire some lax dancing...

A funny special on CNet has some idiots carrying out the debate of Vista Vs. OS X in real life via a facsimile of a Shakespearean play. While I do think this is funny and of course stupid I have been giving Vista no credit for being a good operating system, then again I don't OS X is that fantastic either. According to this little play however, the beautiful GUI of OS X has found an opponent in...

Post "New Music Tuesday" (if anyone receives music emails from Apple you will know what I'm talking about) I was inspired to update my music collection and look up my favorite artists to see who had come out with some hot new shit. Both Bjork and Maroon 5 are dropping some hot titles next month, I saw Bjork on SNL this weekend and I am looking forward to some good ol' fashion Bjork, whatever that...

Finally my motherland will be known for other things than trying to scam naive people from other countries out of their money. Elections were held on Saturday and they were monitored by volunteers using SMS (Short message system) messages to monitor voting locations and make sure there was no untoward actions taking place. Kudos Nigeria, I like where this is going. Take a look at the article for...

Beautiful day for rug...

...too much time on their hands? These students at UCSC who created the first level of Donkey Kong with 3"x3" post-its in one of the campus buildings. As cool as this was, all these kids should have their rooms checked for rifles or interviewed to rule out some type of homicidal behavior. Anyone who puts this much energy into such a pointless task might be disturbed. It's like maintaining a blog that...

Finally, at long last the wait is over. The trailer for the hot new video "Le Parkour" is available for public viewing. This video is the results of the collab between Matt Pinto and Paul Bomba. With this trailer we can only assume that the full length feature will be nothing short of amazing. Booo...

I just picked this up doing some thrift shopping. I looked at the box and thought "I must have this". The test run was my roommate and I am proud to say that it was a huge success. It took about 5 minutes before he had royally screwed it up and another 5 for us to fix it and get the lock off. A key quote from one of the websites that I was looking at:"Not to be given to wine addicts if you value...

In "The Darker Side Of Craig's List" today we look at a woman in Tacoma who had some property she was renting out recently fall victim to a nasty craig's list scam. This is actually a funny ass story. I guess people do look on Craig's List for everything including kitchen sinks and light fixtures that you rip out of the wall itself. Watch yourself kiddies, piss off the wrong person and you might...

I was messing with my buddies new Mac book and playing with his embedded camera and made this photo. I like it cause it makes me look like I can shoot laser beams out my arms or eyes. What would my robot name be?...

This is seriously the hottest song and video I have heard and seen in a while. I got turned onto this song because of a remake by FPU, turns out Jan Hammer is a pretty sweet composer when it comes to 1980's synth and drumpads. Peep it, Crockett's Theme...the Vid...

Hey All, I am droppin some hot new home movies to go along with the Gatti gets licked movie. Peep it, the teammates playing GH. Check out how high the guitar on the guy not dancing is. What decade is this anyway? Oddly enough the song is quite fitting for the height of the guitar...

Apparently I had it all wrong about the Falcon 1 rocket. It actually did launch at around 9:10pm, but the webcast had been turned off about 5 minutes into flight (or so I read). The rocket failed to hit earth orbit due to some roll control problems in the 2nd stage so it actually just arced back into normal earth atmosphere. Oh well, at least it made it off the ground.In another story we read how...

For a fourth time today the new Falcon 1 rocket from SpaceX has failed to launch. The falcon 1 is set to replace Nasa's now retiring rocket and is to aid in lowering cost and raising reliability of rocket flight. Again I bring up the point I have made in the past about the 1st moon landing. From what I have been gathering over the past few years regarding space flight, it is a fairly rigorous and...

Yes hipsters you are reading correctly. Commodore, one of the pioneers of video gaming has returned to the scene and their phasers are set to frag as they attempt to unseat Alienware and any other pc manufacturer that dares to compete in the high end gaming machine market. I really have no idea how good these computers really are but I do know that one of them is running a quad core processor and...

Forgive me father for I have sinned. It has been too long since my last post and I feel as if I have some catching up to do. To fill all the excited readers in, I am still unemployed but am closing in on a position that will have me leaving the comfortable nest of Rocha and going to another place that I am sure will be more expensive. I am currently in NYC right now, but will be heading back to...
