Man’s’ preoccupation with the capability to escape his earthly domain and soar amongst the clouds has led to innumerable ingenious methods of getting aloft. Some methods have been practical – others not so much. Case in point – the AVE Mizar flying car, affectionately known as “The Flying Pinto”. Yes, “Pinto”, as in the “death…
Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn have revealed that an international team of thieves had stolen close to $45 million in a matter of hours using hacked ATM debit cards.

The Spanish organization, ANAR Foundation (Aid to Children and Adolescents at Risk), recently released a brilliant campaign that makes similarly powerful use of a special form of photography that takes advantage of the process of lenticular printing to send an offer of help to abused children without alerting their abusers, even if they’re walking together.…
The Army Corps of Engineers has admitted that an unauthorized Chinese user has hacked the National Inventory of Dams (NID) database in January 2013 and that the attack was not discovered until sometime in April. There are about 8,100 major dams in the U.S., and the NID database has information about all of them, including…
Brilliant Paris Marathon race organizers laid out 82-feet worth of rubber tiles along the route. These cushiony tiles weren’t meant to ease the pain on runners but rather are a special electricity-generating tile made by Pavegen Systems that convert kinetic energy from the runners’ footfalls into electricity. The manufacturer claims the tiles generate up to…
I enjoy hacking. The intrigue, digging through arcane protocol specs in order to discover some new architectural design flaw or idiotic programmer bug, and the excitement surrounding a mysterious hidden world that few are capable of experiencing, in my mind is akin to losing yourself deep in a software coding problem. I consider myself a…
This newly constructed house, built near Stuttgart, German by German studio J. Mayer H., is shaped like a giant dinosaur head with glazing and railing designed to emulate teeth. The three-story home sits on a sloping site in a suburban area of Stuttgart facing a neighborhood of smaller, older homes, presumably in a bid to…
The Hybrid Memory Cube Consortium finished hammering out the Hybrid Memory Cube (HMC) 1.0 standard this week.

Rather than placing RAM dies…
Today, Seagate began shipping what it claims is“the world’s first 4TB Hard Drive”. The new technology will utilize four 1TB platters giving the drive 800,000 times more storage space than the first desktop drive it introduced way back in 1979.

South African photographer Dillon Marsh’s latest photographic series tipped us on to some hidden gems that we most likely would have never noticed – cellphone towers disguised as trees.

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.
