There are Christians, I\’m sure, who, finding themselves on the side of a highway with a flat tire, have asked \”What Would Jesus Do?\” and were serious about it.

If you\’re looking for a boring opera, nothing\’s better than … the opera.

Except, well, you don\’t. And you get the [...]

Carnivore is a packet sniffer that listens to all traffic on a local network and spits it out in whatever format you want.
The Wooden Mirror is, well, a wooden mirror. A grid of little wooden blocks is hooked up to a video camera (pointed at the viewer). The blocks turn up and down, changing the [...]

The tiny adventurer in me wants to climb a mountain. Not only that, but he wants to climb a mountain no one has ever climbed before.
And also, he wants to get horribly injured on the way down. Then, after being separated from his climbing partner, he wants to crawl for days, dragging his near-dead body [...]
