The History of the Internet (Infographic)
I’ve read about the history of the net from probably well-near 100 sources overall. I probably didn’t absorb everything I’ve read, but I swear, everytime I read one of these tremendous infographics, I learn new things. Everything from J.C. R. Licklider’s 1962 concept of an “intergalactic network” to the end of 2009, in which mobile data exceeded that of voice ...

We’ve seen attempts at adding a tactile QWERTY keyboard to replace the touchscreen of the iPhone before. iTwinge seemed like a viable option if you didn’t mind a hell of an eyesore, but it was actually pretty impractical. Half the touch screen was covered by a massive sheaf of buttons which were visibly awkward to slip on and off when ...

About 90% of resturant awkwardness occurs when trying to converse with the server. I think most of the small talk is awkward for a few simple reasons.

A few months back we posted about a Star Wars novel like no other. Death Troopers, a tale about zombie Stormtroopers on the hunt for Jedi brains. Apparently the concept of a zombified Star Wars universe was so successful that you can know purchase your very own bust celebrating the novel’s central theme.

The Japanese surely love their Super Mario Bros. We’ve seen renditions inspired by the more feudal days of Asian culture, but yet the culture clash continues. This time around the Mushroom Kingdom has been anime-tized. Basically, if Super Mario and Pokemon switched places in some parallel universe, this would likely be the result. This concept might not have been too ...

This is no model or concept design. Available for the price of $100,000 or best offer on eBay (do they accept firstborns?), the Dark Knight Batpod, inspired from the Batman film The Dark Knight is a fully-functional motorcycle, welded together from hardened steel, bearing an uncanny resemblance to the real thing.

Six years ago, UK resident Buzz Knapp-Fisher set out to make the most eco-friendly vehicle he possibly could. Unfortunately, as a wise frog once said, it isn’t easy being green, especially for this poor car. The Womble Truck might not be the prettiest thing to look at (in fact it might be one of the ugliest), what it lacks in ...

As a professional blogger, I have about as much physical activity as your vacuum cleaner (not very much). I get to lounge around in my pajamas all day and read cool shit on the internet. Basically I’m everything you wish you could be. Sorry, it had to be said. Now BOW to me! But blogging doesn’t come without its hazards. ...
