The AT-AT

The AT-AT or All Terrain Armored Transport is one of my favorite vehicles in Star Wars. This and the Snowspeeder duked it out during the Battle of Hoth, which is also my favorite battle scene in all of Star Wars. Anyway, it seems to be getting a lot of attention in the arts, and I’ve [...]

Robots

I think the first time I actually got freaked out by a robot was when I saw a video of the “mule”, which is a robot that helps transport supplies. If you haven’t seen it, watch below. What scares me is when they kick it and it regains it’s balance… VIDEO Well, I just saw [...]

During this process, [...]

Ant Traffic Control

Wow, what can’t ants teach us. A new study shows some insight into traffic control, and congestion prevention by observing how ants handle congestion. When the ants were forced onto a narrow pathway causing congestion toward a food source, the ants in traffic would push the returning ants off the path so that they create [...]

“Eggcorns”

What is an eggcorn? In this article, the author states: “Mind-bottling”, “jar-dropping”, and “lame man’s terms” are all eggcorns, a type of common and somewhat logical language goof named after a misspelling of “acorn”. “…eggcorns aren’t eggcorns unless they make at least a little bit of sense.” Some more eggcorns: “without further adieu” instead of [...]

Where The Hell…

is Matt? This guy, Matt, decided to quit his job and travel… and decided to video himself dancing all over the world. He got noticed, and Stride sponsored another trip for him to do, no strings attached. You can watch all of his videos on his website HERE. I recommend you watch his lecture videos. [...]
