How to use an iPhone to Fly R/C Airplanes and Heli...

HOW I DID IT: I’ve had an iPhone for about a year now, and find it quite indispensable. It’s handy in so many situations, and fits into a lot of nerdy stuff I do. However, it hasn’t fit in perfectly to the main nerdy thing that I like to do: Fly radio control airplanes and helicopters. For that, I use a really high quality piece of hardware from a company called JR, a JR 9303 radio. It works great....

I Rub Elbows with the Titans of Industry...

Try My Product! Many people walk around all day long trying to know when they’ve ‘made it’. I had a moment a couple months back that let me know: I met video professor. You know, that guy on TV willing to give away his lessons on Excel, Microsoft Word, and Office because he’s so confident you’ll love his product? Yeah that guy. I was in line for one of the many famous Las Vegas buffet’s...

Genetic Destiny...

I was dancing with an absolutely gorgeous girl last night. She wasn’t my girl, I was just keeping an eye on her, but she was the kind of girl that makes everyone else look at you and think “What is this jerk’s secret?”. While I was doing so, I noticed that she was sweating. Not like she was on trial for murder or anything, but just enough to be shiny. I looked at my hand where I was holding it...

Fat Tuesday...

Everyone likes to make a big play, but no one likes to take one for the team. Fat Tuesday found me perusing about on Mill ave. with my friend Jon. Pretty standard. Whilst we were in the Big Bang I saw this girl that was an awesome dancer — She had no regard for anyone but herself. She was also very pretty. If she were less hot this story would not have happened but alas… She was. Unable to keep my mouth shut,...

Taking Apart My Toaster...

It’s been said that every great bomb maker eventually gets bit by their craft. Well my friends, It would seem my craft has finally bitten me. While perusing the internet the other night I found a YouTube video about a bunch of friends who figured out how to intercept the radios that drive thru’s use, and broadcast back on the same frequency. If that explanation was too nerdy for you, They can pretend they...

Underpants Eulogy...

I accidentally ripped a pair of boxer shorts today, I felt a small eulogy was in order. It’s tough to lose a good friend, but what can you say about a pair of mens medium size boxer shorts like Frederick Shorts Koff? He was modest, and I called him Shorts for short, bought from the Gap, and raised modestly. He was made with love from small Thai children furiously sewing lots of other pairs as well. And yet, I ended...

…What Do You See Here?...

I need one minute of your time. Consider the image above. It was given as an example in my communication class of how “Perception Precedes Understanding”, a concept I’m familiar with. So, the professor starts going around the room asking people what they see in the picture. As to what other people think about it, well … I’m third generation don’t give a fuck. However, as I’ve...

Ice Cream Cones...

The recent record setting hot weather has me thinking about a summer favorite that doesn’t get enough attention: The Ice Cream Cone. They are super versatile little pieces of edible engineering. They have those criss-cross shit at the bottom, and are cylindrical, but also at the top spherical. In many ways, they’re like a delicious 3D waffle. How many other foods do you eat which have words printed on them?...

How To Paint Your Own Shoes...

I bought a pair of shoes last summer that I consider to be trusted allies. They’re my favorites, and oing with the theme of “Favorites” this week, I decided to try and replace them with the same, or a similar pair of shoes. Apparently, in one year, a lot has changed in the illustrious world of Men’s shoe fashion. Not that I have ever been very fashionable. Here are my main criteria when shopping...
