Twisted Pillow Design

Twisted Pillow Design

Found this thru Mixx. I can picture several podcasters that would be perfect for this gag. Just lie around on your blood stained shaped pillow and wait for someone to notice and call the police.

Well, come to think of it, this would work for anyone except Scott Sigler. If someone found him face down in a pool of his own blood, the first thing they would say is “But of course, he had it coming after all”, or ” …yet another excuse for not wrapping up Nocturnal” or “I told him his head would explode one day, but did he listen to me…”

The Loper – Amazing Search and Rescue Robot

via Digg

It walks up and down stairs and through rough terrain because of its uniquely shaped wheel. And for some reason, the wheels remind me of an old spiral drawing toy from my childhood.

Interview: Dr. Stephen R. Covey

I had the honor of talking to Dr. Stephen R. Covey author of 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. We discuss some of “7 Habits” and his latest project “The Quest for Success“.

Find out what “primary success” is and how you can attain it. If you haven’t read any of his books or gotten involved with Dr. Covey’s works, you owe it to yourself and your family to do so.

If you ask me, they should have spoofed this one with Kara Thrace. She’d look good in mermaid fins dontcha think?

The Ecosaber is the only way a typical stormtrooper would have a fair shot at surviving a fight w/ a Jedi.
