Cooking for Geeks: How to Powderize Pepperoni [Bacon Too!]
Have you ever craved popcorn and pepperoni at the same time? I have had cravings for the weirdest things, but I have to be honest that I have never found myself wanting popcorn and pepperoni together. Then again, those flavors are not such a strange mix. It’s easy enough to understand. So what’s noteworthy about popcorn and pepperoni? It’s not the combination of flavors itself, but the fact that someone has found a way to powderize pepperoni – the real stuff. Can you just imagine all the things that you can do with the power to turn pepperoni into powder? The cred goes to Linda Miller Nicholson, who would do Read more »
5 Anime That Love Apple
News of the death of Steve Jobs last week was a major disappointment to the tech industry and people around the world. As people remember how he and Apple changed the world with products such as the iPod and iPhone, I think it would be interesting to take a look at what kind of influence he has had on anime. One of the unique things about anime is that a lot of “product placement” is inserted freely by the creators. In order to avoid copyright infringement, they alter the names of companies to get brands like “WcDonald’s” and “Sudohbucks”. When it comes to electronics, homegrown tech giants dominate the anime Read more »
Grimlock Coming to Transformers Game Sequel
High Moon Studios just announced that they’re following up their hit 2010 Transformers game War for Cybertron with a game that tells of the mythical world’s ultimate demise: Transformers: Fall of Cybertron. And if you think that abysmal Dark of the Moon movie tie-in game they did earlier this year is being flat-out ignored… You’re right. Read more »
Bring Out the Artist in You With iCases
One of the fun things about owning Apple products is the search for the perfect case to match them. Whether you have an iPad (or iPad 2), an iPhone (whichever model), or a Mac laptop, there is always a case or two that will catch your eye. There are the classic kinds, and there are the quirky ones. Speaking of quirky, I just discovered a line of cases for Apple products which fit the bill. For ease of writing, let us just call them iCases. Papernomad is a group of “socially conscious designers, marketing professionals, artists and one or two lunatics”. Their goal is to design and produce bags, covers, Read more »

20 Incredible Tributes to Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs was one of us. The ultimate anti-establishment rebel who became the establishment, yet refused to play by anyone else’s rules. A geek kid from California who dropped out of college, played with electronics in his garage, and over the course of his 56 years, changed the world forever. Jobs’ fans and admirers are paying tribute to him today in whatever ways they know how, and here are 20 of the best. Read more »
Strange Talents
When my magpie instinct for first issues was pinged by the new release of the Strange Talent Of Luther Strode, I was not sure quite what to expect. I certainly did not anticipate shades of Flex Mentallo, one of my all-time favourite series. A series that one would think would be very hard to imitate, and I am pleased to report, no such attempt was made. Other than the similarity between Flex’s Muscle Mystery and Luther Strode’s Hercules Method, the direction of this new release from Image is completely different. The story begins with the familiar convention of the geeky high school teenager, bullied and certainly a candidate for getting Read more »
Ashes in Ammo
No doubt, the subject of life and death is the most talked about topic today. We may not think about death every single day, but we are bound to meet it. As macabre as it may seem, I have thought about what I want to happen to my remains when I do pass away. I don’t want to be confined in a casket. I don’t want to be buried. Fire, I think is the best way to go. And I am pretty sure there are a lot of people who think the same way. There is, of course, the traditional way of keeping the ashes of a loved one: in Read more »
