lets make this clear,
its a fashion show
that happens to have _some_ wearable tech in it.

It is in no way a "wearable technology fashion show".

Not to blame bbtv but yet again someone throws around cool tech words to market something.

Not as bad as steampunk, but still not great.

you think that's racist?

you should check out "Darkie Toothpaste"
(now called darlie, but wtf)

http://www.sinosplice.com/life/archives/2004/11/26/darkie-toothpaste

nothin' sez toothpaste like blackface...

er....I guess.

so my confusion is why if metric is the law
why do the french set the rules for the pint?

wouldn't it be the tri-decalitre?

Oh yay!

More ways to show the world how crap the art is at burningman.

Don't get me wrong, I friggin' love burningman, but things like those giant metal people do _NOT_ deserve to be shown over and over again.

This is one way Make magazine, maker faire and burningman...oh burningman... are missing something. Just because something is big and metal its not good art. Actually, usually that's a dead givaway it sucks.

I think it should be pointed out that the poop merely contained human dna but also human hair fragments and canine dna.

So really what we may be looking at is poop from dogs that eat humans, not necessarily humans themselves pooping.

at least this is upfront about its elitism.

Not half as annoying as 1st class passengers having their own line. Do they pay more for security? Is it mentioned in TSA directives that 1st class passengers should have their own line? I doubt it. Its just graft from the airlines and airports popping up yet again.

Also its interesting to mention that at orlando airport FEMA employees also get a super-fast-track security line. Still searched, x-rayed etc but you cut to the front of the short short line.

If you want to see this map in real life its
on tour as part of the "Maps" exhibit from the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. Check it out if it comes to town, its very very cool.

I'm pretty sure by now most experts
feel all these chastity/anti-masturbation things
are jokes made up in the 19th or 20th century. (so yes, its old, but even then it was a joke). The problem is that its become such a popular culture thing they're almost impossible to research online.

Much like those "early batteries" found in Iraq that materials experts agree weren't batteries at all but all over the web, even on BBC sites, people still claim them as batteries. Feh.

or perhaps the title should be,

"books that college students pretend to read because they think that they can get a facebook hookup out of it"

doesn't that look like bits of the pipe
embedded in the front of the mass?
(same material and apparent thickness of ceramic as pipe)

Perhaps the pipe collapsed in that section
and let in some kind of fungus or
other funk from outside the pipe.

As they dig through it it keeps flowing into the pipe?

do a search on flickr for

"urbex" and "detroit"

(urbex being the hip term the kidz use for this sort of dangerous unlawful behavior).

and you'll find hundreds of amazing pics of
the bits of detroit.

and just as an aside the "Fisher body works" building is just wide open, if you can find the address (i'm not going to make this _too_ simple for ya) you just walk in a giant hole in the wall and wander around (be polite to any homeless you bump into), check out the freaky sinks bye

Personally my biggest worry is she didn't even go through security. How far out are these powers going to extend. The roads around the airports? The city around the roads? wtf?

As Iraq proves you're not going to stop suicide bombers even with road blocks, house to house searches and torture. Random checks in airports have stopped how may terrorist attacks? I'm betting zero, zip, nada.

just in case any of you are bored at defcon next year you can fire one of those mp5s (the submachine gun used to threaten "deadly force") (though a non-silenced version) just outside the Vegas city limmits and any one of the "shooting ranges" listed in the phone book. Just look for "automatic weapons/machine guns".
