Video Showcasing Mine Kafon Displays Genius Ingenuity
This video, about the “mine kafon” is simply fantastic. I really love hearing about ingenious ideas, especially ones which are used for really important purposes like clearing out leftover land mines. The mine kafon, as you see in the video, was inspired by a childhood activity of creating wind-powered racing “vehicles.” Taking this childhood game...
Rethink the Ordinary with Schoolhouse Electric
Schoolhouse Electric is everything that I love about American innovation and creativity. Here we have a company started by a guy who said, “I don’t like those light bulbs. I’ll make my own.” That is one of the coolest things ever. The idea that an entire showroom and company can be formed around the aesthetics...
Imagining the Tenth Dimension
Rob Bryanton’s video, “Imagining the Tenth Dimension” is one of the most cogent and comprehensive visualizations of the tenth dimension I’ve ever seen (which, admittedly, is only three). This video does an excellent job at explaining, among other things, the fourth dimension on down. It’s important to understand the concept of the first four dimensions,...
Donald Trump’s Announcement Goes Easy on President
Yesterday, Donald Trump’s announcement disappointed all of America. After weeks of hyping up his “big announcement” that was supposed to change the election, he finally let everyone who waited with bated breath know what he had to say. Thank you, Mr. Trump, because we all care immensely what you have to say, and could stand the stress...
Reality TV Does Not Make Us Smarter
Recently, Wired published an article called “Why Reality TV Doesn’t Suck, and May Even Make Us Smarter,” and it was the ultimate in face palm experiences. Look, I am a fan of finding new ways to keep the social sciences relevant in the modern age, but this just went too far, and I think was just...

NBC’s “Guys With Kids” is Terrible
Staying ever vigilant in my attempts to monitor “guy-oriented” pop culture, I thought I would watch the Pilot episode for NBC’s new sitcom, “Guys With Kids.” Within the first minute of the show, I knew I was going to hate it. Yet, I continued on throughout the entire episode, just for the sake of writing...
The Universe in a Nutshell
Michio Kaku is the man. Not only is he one of the smartest and most famous physicists alive, he has an extreme level of comprehensibility–taking some of the most complex scientific ideas and breaking them down into terms a high school student could understand. To me, this is a true measure of genius–if you can...

On Burning Candles
I know what you’re saying right now: isn’t this a men’s interest website? Why would I, as a man, ever voluntarily put a candle in my home that wasn’t picked out by my spouse/significant other? I know, I’ve thought the same thing in the past. Let me make the case for you. First of all,...
Photos from the 2012 Running of the Bulls
The San Fermin festival in Pamploma, Spain ends tomorrow, and I always love the pictures from this event. Before this happens, a disclaimer is in order: I hate bull fighting. It’s probably one of the most stereotypical manly things you can do, but I hate it. I generally don’t enjoy mindless killing of animals for...
FX’s Anger Management
So it’s not long after the end of Charlie Sheen’s live tour of…comedy…or whatever you want to call that, and he’s back with his own show. FX decided to capitalize on the whole “winning” thing right out of the box, referencing it within 30 seconds of the start in the series pilot. Needless to say,...
