Elon Musk is a man wearing many hats. In addition to running SpaceX, he’s also in charge of Tesla motors and The Boring Company. He also has a knack for doing things he ought not to do. This includes things such as weirdly calling a hero from the Thai cave rescue a pedophile (I’m still […] More
One of my favorite things is to watch people who are hopelessly lost when it comes to technology try to understand technology. To be completely fair, it’s not their fault. There’s a lot to know about, especially when it comes to SEO (search engine optimization). SEO is why you see a lot of internal linking and linkbacks on websites, […] More

Full disclosure: I want a Tesla car. I’m not yet set on the model, but I’m planning on ordering a Tesla sometime next year. So yeah, I’m a bit of a fanboy at this point but hey, at least I’m honest about it. That’s why when I saw this article written by Mike Brown for […] More
If you ask any smoker or stoner if there’s a difference between vaping and smoking, you’ll get a different answer each time. And since it’s somewhat of a scientific gray area at this point, there’s not a lot of data points to look at to determine if one is “better” than the other. What we […] More
If you’ve given up your will to live, but haven’t died yet, then perhaps you’re not trying hard enough. A new study, led by Dr. John Leach from the University of Portsmouth in the United Kingdom, found that you can die simply by giving up your will to live. Get our ‘Everything huts and I’m dying’ […] More

“Like Saturn, the Revolution devours its children”, so said Jacques Mallet du Pan in his 1793 essay “Considérations sur la nature de la Révolution de France, et sur les causes qui en prolongent la durée.” Once lit in indignation, the fire of a revolution can burn in places we do not expect, even if the […] More
The Hawaiian Monk Seal Research Program released a photo on Facebook a few days ago of a monk seal with an eel up its nose. You’ve heard of Elf on a Shelf… Now get ready for: I think he’s trying to tell the photographer “hey, put the camera down and help me, jerk.” Accompanying the […] More
Tuesday, The New England Journal of Medicine posted an image as part of their series on medical anomalies. They posted an enormous blood clot that came out of someone’s lungs. A 36-year-old man was admitted to the ICU with an acute exacerbation of chronic #heartfailure. After a ventricular assist device was placed & anticoagulation therapy initiated, hemoptysis […] More
It’s that time of year again! No, I’m not talking about replacing the audio of people dancing with Mariah Carey’s song All I want for Christmas is you (even though it is one of my favorite things), I’m talking about the annual debate that rages about the song Baby it’s cold outside. The debate stems from the lyrics […] More
