This would be an awesome response to SOPA

Of course, it would really suck too. Hopefully they pick a day that I'm stranded on a desert island.

In the growing battle for the future of the Web, some of the biggest sites online — Google, Facebook, and other tech stalwarts — are considering a coordinated blackout of their sites, some of the we…

I'm guessing Photoshop may have been at play.

I hate those "As Seen on TV Ads"

I got a call from my 10 year old son wanting me to buy the "Orgreenic" kitchen frying pans he just saw in a TV commercial. He loves to cook.

"Dad, you get two of them, they're only $20.00 and you get a FREE gift!" He went through the whole spiel and even told me he would buy them with his Birthday / Christmas money.

I told him we didn't need to buy any new pans, the ones we've got are fine, but boy is he working me over. You would think that this is a hot new game or toy, not a frying pan.

Hopefully he forgets about it, but just in case, does anyone out there know anything about these things? The little bit I've seen on-line makes me think "rip-off."

Science is Fun

Follow these steps if you would like to duplicate my science experiment from 2007

1. Go buy some dry ice. We got ours from Pain Enterprises in Fort Wayne.

2. Load the dry ice in the back of an SUV.

3. Close the windows, and leave the SUV sit in 95 degree weather for 15 minutes while you go shopping at Wal-Mart.

4. Get in the SUV and drive.

IMPORTANT! DO NOT ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS OR YOU WILL RUIN THE EXPERIMENT!

5. If you have followed all of these steps correctly, you should notice you have an elevated heart rate and rapid breathing or panting after about 10 to 15 minutes of driving. Ignore this.

6. After another minute or so, you should start feeling a sort of constricting feeling in your throat.

7. At this point, yell loudly “SHIT! I HAVE DRY ICE IN THE BACK SEAT!!” and then pound your finger into the automatic window button to open your window.

8. With one quick motion thrust your head outside and breathe deeply.

9. Once back in your office visit this link “Dry Ice Info – Safe Handling” and read the section on VENTILATION. (http://www.dryiceinfo.com/safe.htm)

10. Share your story with the entire world so they can call you an idiot.

Is there is a Guinness record for the most dry ice loaded into a 1999 Ford Contour?…

Is there is a Guinness record for the most dry ice loaded into a 1999 Ford Contour? I think I may qualify! 1300 lbs loaded in the trunk, back seat, and passengers seat.

A couple points to remember if you want to top my record.
1. Dress warm, it gets darn cold in a car full of dry ice. I felt like a frozen side of beef by time I made it to the office.
2. Roll down the windows to avoid death from carbon dioxide asphyxiation. FYI, This is kind of important step.
