Researchers at North Carolina State University have produced a new cable material that stretches an order of magnitude more stretchy than existing stretchy wires. Think of the possibilities – tiny charging cables or headphone cables that are easy to carry around but easily stretch to crazy lengths when needed (and with the decreased possibility that…
Scottsdale Inventions has invented a pair of futuristic high-tech handcuffs that can deliver electric shocks powerful enough to incapacitate a prisoner via a remote control. In addition to shock therapy, the cuffs can issue warnings to the prisoner via audible announcements, vibration, or a flashing light. The handcuffs can also be programmed to constrain a…
DARPA is working on an airborne wireless network that can drive data bandwidth at fiber-optic network speeds – a blazing 100 gigabits per second. The effort, called the 100 Gigabit-per-second RF Backbone (aka 100G), seeks to do more than just overcome the physics that limit current radio-based data connections. The 100G initiative is searching for…
A new lighting product, GravityLight, allows an LED to run for 30 seconds from a 3-second pull of a string. The light has been designed for developing countries where sophisticated power grids are non-existent and technologies such as batteries and solar power are cost prohibitive. The kit includes an LED lamp and a sack that…
China plans to build a 120 million square foot city – from scratch. The Meixi Lake Master Plan project will be built in the metropolitan area of Changsha, China and will integrate mountains, lakes, parks, and canals in its architectural design. The city will be built around a 40 hectare lake which will act as…
Although it doesn’t use true (damaging) X-Ray technology, a microchip breakthrough from Caltech has given device developers the means to introduce T-Ray scanning in devices as small as a smartphone. T-Rays (terahertz waves) fall into a largely untapped region of the electromagnetic spectrum—between microwaves and far-infrared radiation—and can penetrate a host of materials without the…
Mercedes-Benz’s North American R&D team introduced the Ener-G-Force design concept vehicle at this year’s LA Auto Show Design Challenge. Based on the classic G-Class (notice the “G” shaped LED headlights), the off-road vehicle features 20-inch rims, emergency lighting, rear spare-wheel compartment converted to a quick-access tool box, and a “terra-scan” 360-topography scanner on the roof…
Computerworld is reporting that Intel is working on a 48-core processor for smartphones and tablets. They have a working prototype and expect the revolutionary CPU to hit the market in 5-10 years. “If we’re going to have this technology in five to 10 years, we could finally do things that take way too much processing…
Greenwave Reality is set to roll out Wi-Fi controlled light bulbs which will allow you to control your lighting with a hand-held remote or your smartphone or tablet device. The wireless LED lighting kit includes four 40-watt equivalent bulbs, a remote control, and a gateway box that you connect to your home router. Each bulb…
With all the hype over 3D television dying and the HDTV free-for-all all but dead, the Consumer Electronics Association has made the move to ensure the next “big thing” prods customers to empty their pockets for the latest and greatest television experience. Meet “Ultra High Definition” television, the successor to HDTV.

Books from Geek Slop Publishing
Living Truth Bible Study Guides
Despite its beautiful prose, you can’t just read Revelation; it requires diligent study. However, ineffective study techniques can lead to misunderstandings. Rather than imposing strict interpretations on the described events, use the concepts we present as a framework for understanding its intricate code. The Book of Revelation indeed provides more than just a foretelling of the tumultuous end of days. It reassures Christians that divine justice will ultimately triumph over evil and promises Jesus' eventual return as the rightful king of the world.
Chronicles of Enigma
While science and reason often seek to illuminate the unknown, there remains a certain allure in the unexplained—a realm where imagination and reality blur, creating a tapestry rich with wonder and possibility. Stories from the Chronicles of Enigma series endure not just as relics of the past, but as gateways to exploring the depths of our curiosity and the infinite potential of our world. Let us be the light that guides you through the darkness.
