The last few posts reminded me that Radiolab did a chilling 3 part series on the border. It's a must …

I wonder if some of the scooter startups are using modified versions of Segway's KickScooter? The design looks very much like the ones I see littered around town. The design may look boring compared to the Stator, but I hear they are fun to ride …

This controller has given me so many memories. It was the first console controller that made me feel like I was playing something truly new and different. I also really loved the GameCube controller. It's crazy that they remade a Nintendo Switch …

If I were to say “cockroaches”, what assumptions would you make? I think they are typically associated with dirty run-down places, but the nice San Jose, CA neighborhood that I live in has a lot of cockroaches. You can find them in the sidewalks …

I have too many to pick one, so I'll just list some of them out. - Discovering the secret maze game built into the Sega Master System's firmware. - Blowing air on NES cartridges. - Going to Toys "R" Us, in hope that there were "slips" left for …

@Dracula If you have Netflix, you must watch Chef's Table, Volume 2 Episode 1. https://www.netflix.com/title/80007945 It takes you through the story of Grant Achatz, the creator of Alinea. This person is not just a chef. He's an artist, an …

Since Ducati collaborated with Thok Ebikes to develop their own, I'm inclined to say that they might be more fun. 😀 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ef031l4MmKw I started young riding both mountain bikes and dirt bikes into my twenties and I must …

Yeah I think you make some really good observations! The 991 feels like many years of refinement when the 911 got a little more curvy in the late '90s and early 2000s. It started with the 996. I think that's when they introduced the splits that …

I was chatting with my buddy @ducstar last night during Porsche's live event to reveal the new 911. In case you missed it, here's the event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMq2JrpId8c Duc owns an absolutely gorgeous Generation 7 Porsche 911 …

> The modern definition of diversity seems to be "people who look different but think alike". I totally agree with that. I've been through so many interview processes where a hiring decision was made purely based on the interviewee's "cultural …

Hi Victor and welcome! I'm happy to see a Ricoh shooter here, since I'm interested in the recently announced GRiii. I've read nothing but great reviews about the GRii. It doesn't have a lot of features, but some say it has a certain "look" that is …
