I was completely prepared to do some run of the mill post about LCD tvs but then I saw this awesome Gerbil shirt. The first thing that I thought of when I saw this (after “LOL” and “Awesome”) was:”wouldn’t that be a stinky shirt”? I believe that the answer is yes. Also- would this keep you from sitting down and leaning back? I mean, I’d be afraid of crushing either the gerbil or the plastic. Neither situation ends well!

Youtube has announced that they will son support streaming content in full 1080p HD. Now if only they had more content that was worth watching in Hd… like TV shows and movies… granted, they get the occasional Indie project, but we all know that youtube is to Hollywood what chatroom spamming is to directory submission in other words, while you can get some great exposure there, getting views won’t make you a famous movie director overnight.. err something.

In case you don’t know who The Stig is… he’s the pro driver on a British show called Top Gear. The video above is a compilation of intro quotes about him. These aren’t the best quotes ever, but you can get an idea.

The above is a photo of a USB flash drive that is modeled after The Stig. I forgot to mention that The Stig’s identity is kept a secret and he never removes his helmet. It’s all part of the Shtick. You’ll notice that he is a slender fellow. Some say that the best diet supplement is adrenaline and that The Stig pours adrenaline over his breakfast cereal. All we know is that an 8GB Stig flash drive costs $25, and it had better be FAST.

This seems really awesome. I haven’t even watched the video, and I thought it warranted a triple triple triple exclamation mark!!!1!!!!!!11onethouasandonehundredandeleven. Okay, now I will attempt to watch the video, but I’m afraid I may be literally blown out of my seat by the sheer volume of the awesome that I am about to experience, so if this post ends right here, don’t cry for me. Just know that I died in the most awesome way possible. And no that wouldn’t be while riding a dinosaur that is water skiing while taking three simultaneous orlando vacations and holding a martini (shaken, not stirred) in each hand. Actually, that does sound pretty awesome. Maybe I need to take notes while watching Jurassic Park so that I can genetically recreate dinosaurs, raise said dinosaurs and ride the resulting creature. Naw, sounds like too much work… back to sitting in front of my computer watching crazy videos.

I’ve never heard of a Wimshurst machine before, but apparently it was pretty popular among the electrostatic crowd from the late 1800’s till 1930-ish. My inner DIY-er wants to make one of these, but something tells me that I’d Best Buy a kit and save my record collection from an untimely demise. File this one under: things I didn’t know existed and I don’t know why I want. Serioulsy… if I owned one it would collect dust.. I mean, it’s not exactly an xbox.

Yet another crafty device has been added to the paintballer’s arsenal- landmines! They’re reusable, and can be remotely detonated or triggered by tripwire. The next logical step would be paintball LMGs affixed to mounts on the perimeter of your paintball base. I told a friend about these, and he already knew about them. He said that they were bad ass. I’ll just have to take his word for it- paintball just isn’t my thing.
