Supercomputers = Perpetual Motion Machine

nospam@example.com (e-man) — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 12:43:41 -0500

Ok, they're not really perpetual motion machines, but their continued improvement certainly looks like one. Take a look at this graph from the group that rates the top 500 supercomputers:

It's almost a perfect exponential growth! At this rate, when I'm 50 and super rich I might buy the 500th fastest supercomputer running at 1 ZETAFLOP! At the same time, SI will be scrambling to make up more Star Trek like names because the #1 supercomputer will already be at a Yottaflop, and Wikipedia doesn't have any more names.
Yes, I had to look those up - which makes this even more ridiculous.

My Favorite Bike Ever

The classic looks, the leather handlebars and seat, the black w/ brown trim frame, the white tires... The engine.

Now to save $2000 to buy one.

Stab resistant wool => More practicle uses

Some researchers in New Zealand have unveiled some special modified wool that is stab resistant. I don't know about you, but I hope that this means that in the future I'll be able to wear socks forever without getting holes in them.

Another School Year, Another Focus

I took quite a break from this blog as the school year ended. Expect to see more goofy stuff from all of my different sources around the web.

Yay! More Nerdy Stuff!

This time it's a wedding ring set with an rj-45 (ethernet plug) in male on one and female on the other (not to be sexist, that's just what those ends of the plug are called).

I have to admit, when I first saw this I yelled, "Wondertwin Powers activate!"

First Iphone music video - Wrong side of pop culture

nospam@example.com (e-man) — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 00:29:58 -0400

You heard right, the Iphone is in its first music video; Unfortunately the song is "Smell Yo Dick", by rapper Riskay. Apple must be so proud.
