Drink Or Die

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 our dear POTUS would have shelled out the $380/each for millions of bottles considering there are still people affected from that tragedy that have yet not received any financial aid from the Government? If he had, I am sure it would have been a huge disaster where he would have allotted 1 bottle for a family or something. You would probably need to prove you were actually in a family with birth certificates or something, all of which would have washed away in the flood. I know I am making this up but doesn't it read like something "ripped from the headlines?"

In other news Russians have just tested the world's most deadly non-nuclear weapon which works by creating a vacuum in the area of the blast and sucking the atmosphere right into the blast area. Effectively sucking the air out of your lungs until you are dead. All of this without the fall out of a normal nuclear weapon because that could obviously roll back onto your area and kill the people you were trying to protect. Also it fills the area with radiation stopping you from doing any recon or recovery. Awesome, A for caring. Just in case you were wondering, this is known as the "Dad of All Bombs", we in the US are much less safe because we only have the "Mother of All Bombs", weighing in at a mere 21,000 lbs.

Recording Live From Somewhere...

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). As many of you know I was unemployed for a pretty long time and was happy not only to find employment, but to find it doing a job heavy in the tech field. I work for Varian Semiconductor, trust me I don't know what they do either but I do know I have a fair amount of responsibility and it is a welcome change from the end of days at Kodak where going into work was actually less productive then staying at home.

This is the first time I have been in a different stay as a resident so it has been a pretty interesting experience. Because of my history with NYC taking on this town is not really all that difficult, but it is a welcome change from the humdrum of Rochester, NY. Don't get me wrong, I think anyone who has read this in the past knows that I love Rochester, and probably always will but it truly tricks you into thinking of it as a small city when in actuality it is a medium sized town (don't know the difference? then go to Rochester). I have not started playing Rugby again as I am really just trying to get used to this place, my new apartment and of course my new job which now takes up significantly more of the day than the previous one did. This will actually be my first weekend in my apartment (it's a studio which is awesome, most of you know all I did when I lived with others was stay in my room anyway). I had an immense amount of traveling going on for various social functions (Congrats to my sis & Stephen and Lis & Moose)

I actually just became a Massachusetts resident by switching over my license, registration and insurance for my car. It certainly is weird to see another states license plate on my ride. I welcome this change though, I always said when I went to RIT that I would not stay in Rochester forever, and this was long before I even had a job or an opportunity to stay there for longer than my college years. I am glad to see that I stuck to my word, especially since Rochester could be compared to a tar pit in it's ability to make you stay there (cheap cost of living really does go a long way). While my rent has skyrocketed, other things here are pretty comparable in price so I can't really complain. Initially I thought the prices of goods and services would be closer to the NYC scale, turns out it is somewhere in the middle of NYC and Rochester, except for rent which is astronomical. I have a few friends here which is making the transition pretty cool. My buddy JP lives a few minutes away. Funny that we ended up living in the same place after going to the same college. I also know a few heads from NYC that are now here as well as some connects through the NYC crew to people in what I guess is the Boston Crew (there is no sweet ass acronym for us, which sux).

All the same I just wanted to bring the blog up to date and also test whether the haters in my IT dept had blocked this site along with my aol mail. Glad to see that they did not so expect more posts to follow (I don't have to post at work, but it is an awesome way to take a break from work while still being able to sit at my desk). I will leave you all with a little article I found a few weeks ago but never posted (unless I did post in which case read it again because it's mad funny, even if you are a hipster).

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 new company aims to help The Man crackdown on cell phone using drivers. The device purports to be able to detect a car where the cell phone is in use for a call allowing cops to just use it like a radar gun and give out tickets even if they don't see the person in the car using the phone. This is so wrong its not even funny. Here is a comment that pretty much sums it up, from the web page.

What does it mean to attach a "paint gun mark" to a car? That sounds vaguely like "shooting a car with a paint gun." That's remarkably unsafe for a device that's supposed to save lives. Can it successfully detect if the user has his window rolled down or his convertible top down? Will it miss pedestrians? Damage the car?

And what makes you think that an "EMP gun" can properly localize its effect to disable only the cell phone while leaving the vital elecronic components of the car intact? Not to mention that an EMP pulse doesn't temporarily disable the phone, it destroys its circuitry. No more phone. Have they done any studies to see if a badly timed EMP makes the battery catch fire in the users hand?

And hey, what about the users complying with hands-free laws? They must get their phones fried too, since I'm fairly sure there's no way to distinguish between the two modes of operation aside from, yep, you guessed it, looking at the user.

This is about 17 terrible, halfway thought out ideas. Either April Fools day came late this year or this is a company that really likes the concept of bankruptcy.

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 luck.
