Redman On The Hotseat, Eating Super Hot Wings (Video)
July 13, 2016
Redman starts out talking a lot, answering great interview questions and reminiscing (the Rock-N-Jock photos though). Then he gets hold of some spicy wings… like ‘Hot Ones’… and the ‘heat’ gets hold of him!
Over more than two and a half decades in the game, the rap veteran and How High star has toured the world with Method Man, put out some of Hip-Hop’s most memorable albums, and repped his Jersey roots to the fullest. Now, watch him risk it all while taking on some of the most brutal hot sauces on the planet.

Mike Adams Of Health Rangers Speaks On The Purposeful Poisoning Of Black People In America (Video)
July 11, 2016
Water poisoning is a tactic of terrorists and enemy combatants. Sounds like something someone at war with you would do. How about the KNOWN poisoned water citizens of Flint (Michigan, USA) were made to drink? Medical practice coverups and false diagnoses, predatory targeting… not in against U.S. citizens in America, right? Ever hear of The Tuskegee Syphilis Study?
That feeling you are feeling; hang on to it. Let it burn as researcher/journalist Mike Adams tells you what he knows to be the truth of American industries and government… let’s say… NOT PROTECTING Black people. Even if you cannot bring yourself to believe, you should make yourself watch.
Don’t just go quietly into the night.

The DNA Journey: Where Are You Really ‘From’ (Video)
June 17, 2016
The one comment by the lady near the end – how DNA testing could force folks to understand that there is no pure race – is so compelling. No ‘pure’ race, no ‘superior’ race… no more motivation for the conflicts based on such dumbness worldwide. A peaceful world, far more related than we would have known otherwise; like we are all ‘cousins.’ Incredible viewing!
To celebrate diversity in the world Momondo presents The DNA Journey: a journey into who we are and how we are all connected as a global family. We asked 67 people from all over the world to take a DNA test, and it turns out they have much more in common with other nationalities than they would ever have thought.

Science: Stan Larkin Lived 555 Days With A Backpack Powered Artificial Heart (Video)
June 15, 2016
DUDE! It’s like he had a powered heart. A Tony Stark heart. Like Iron Man but without the ‘Arc Reactor’ part. But seriously, the bleak picture of a heart disease patient waiting for an organ – sickly, hospitalized 24-7 the whole duration of the wait – could be a thing of the past! Watch this medical miracle gone sensational viral video… and be amazed!
A 24-year-old man survived 555 days without a heart with the help from a portable artificial heart.

Unexplained: Was Someone Recording The Tyson Vs. McNeely Fight With A Smartphone… Five Years Before The First One Was Introduced? (Video)
June 14, 2016
Instead of noon candy, here’s a little something for your mind’s eye perhaps.
Don’t you just hate when folks would rather whip out their smartphones and record a primo live event instead of just enjoying the moment? Could you imagine being at this Tyson fight and some guy is just hand-up phone camming the beatdown instead of… WAIT! There was no such tech back then!! Then what in the fudge-flavored candy is this???
Did the TV camera catch a time traveler or something? Could smartphone tech have been introduced from the future?

Technology: Scientists Are Working On ‘Uploading’ Skills Into The Human Brain (Video)
March 4, 2016
Wowwww. Life imitates art again! Check it out: Researchers from HRL Laboratories (California, USA) claim to have found a way to amplify learning employing brain stimulation via electrode-embedded head caps. Now, they admit the tech is not badazz enough to upload Kung Fu knowledge into a brain. But they have enhanced some pilots’ skills with it; by transmitting recorded brain waves from expert flyers.
(Remember how Trinity had Tank upload helicopter-flying skills in “The Matrix” sci-fi movie? Riiiiiight!)
Watch and know the truth, above. No red pills required.
Science/Technology: This ‘Superman Memory Crystal’ Can Store All The Knowledge On Earth For Billions Of Years (Video)
March 3, 2016
Okay, this science-fiction-turned-science-fact HAD to get invented if we are ever going to get the Star Trek style talking computer I know you nerds are out there working on. Without getting too too ‘sciency’ with the talk (you can follow the link below for that), the coin-sized glass disk technology displayed above is said to be capable of storing the history of mankind on it for billions upon billions of years. The tech’s creators – scientists at the University of Southampton’s Optoelectronics Research Centre – call it the “Superman memory crystal.â€
So that means the nerds working on this were likely inspired by those crystals Superman plugs into his Fortress Of Solitude… you know, the ones that allow him to interactively access the sum knowledge and history of his destroyed home world of Krypton.
I will say it again: If you want fantasy to become real-world, inspire the nerds. They will make that sh!t HAPPEN!

Science/Technology: Doctors Can 3D Print Body Parts And Tissue (Video)
February 19, 2016
Above: Surgeon Anthony Atala talking about the real possibility (read: eventuality) that humans will be able to manufacture replacement parts for their bodies as easily as they make parts for cars (cars have bodies, get it?). The video punctuates recent huge steps in a positive direction in the science. Consider a convo about ink refills for your laser printer so you can turn your school paper in on time. Now, swap in 3-D printer refills; and the story could very well be about getting refills to generate another organ (kidney, liver), so you can turn it… into a second chance at life!
(Imagine: Honey, I burned myself badly again. Can you pick up a couple of organ material refills. I need to print up some replacement skin. Wowww!)
How real is this? Doctors (headed by Dr. Atala) at the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine announced yesterday that they’ve managed to 3D print “living” tissue and organs that functioned properly when implanted in animals. Human trials are probably not that far away.

The Singularity Is Coming. Are You Ready To Live Forever? Are You Sure? (Video)
January 13, 2016
Time and again, TEDx Events we come across prove that you can be thoroughly engaged and enlightened by a smart person presenting a point of view at the front of a room. This relatively low-tech presentation of the highest-tech (and perhaps most hopeful/scary) idea is no exception.
This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Would you upload your personality if you could? What do you think of the possibility of living without a physical body? Dr. White addresses a reality that is not so far off as we might think – and what the ethical and philosophical implications of this future might be.
Dr. Jonathan White, originally from Northern Ireland, is a surgeon at the Royal Alexandra Hospital. Dr. White is a renowned teacher, and has won numerous awards for his innovative and creative approach, including being the first surgeon ever selected as a 3M National Teaching Fellow, an honor bestowed in 2014. At TEDx, Dr. White will point out the unforeseen consequences of the rapid technological change we are experiencing – the unexpected societal, medical, and philosophical issues that we now must consider. He will introduce us to the concept of the “singularity”, a possibility which has enormous potential but also carries immense uncertainty. As we enter the next phase of human evolution, Dr. White will pose provocative questions that will challenge our ideas of what the future holds.
Now, before you make up your mind either way, you must check out this write-up at The Activist. Everlasting life, achieved by man by whatever means, is one thing; but what do we do with it? Really think this through. What does a life sentence mean when the prospect of eternal life is on the table? And do we really want to talk about the possibility for resurrection? Mind…blown!

60 Minutes: Football And The Brain (Video)
November 28, 2015
Well… with Frank Gifford’s post mortem diagnosis of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), we get yet another headline and reminder that football – like it or love it – is a dangerous COLLISION sport wrought with injuries…when playing and for the decades beyond. Try and try as American football’s flagship (the National Football League) might, no one has been able to reengineer injury out of the game. Look no further than comments from the NFL commish Roger Goodell in the 60 Minutes clip (embedded after the jump, or click the pic above) for a dose of football-injury reality.
Steve Kroft: You think the game is safer than it’s ever been before?
Roger Goodell: I do. I’m convinced of it. I think the changes that we’ve made have had real results. And we’re seeing that.
Steve Kroft: But do you believe it’s safe?
Roger Goodell: I do believe it’s safer. But injuries are part of active sports and they’re certainly part of football. Football is a contact sport.
Or you could boil it down to retired Ravens’ linebacker Ed Reed’s response…
Steve Kroft: Can you take the violence out of football?
Ed Reed: No.
Truly engaging treatment of the the topic in “Football And The Brain” on CBS News’ 60 Minutes.

Science: Watch This Ball Float On Nothing But Sound Waves (Video)
November 18, 2015
Researchers at the University of Sussex have invented a ‘sonic tractor beam.’
– University of Sussex, Communications and External Relations
You know, we could leave it at that and be geeked out enough. Scientists actually made something they call a TRACTOR BEAM! Nice. But is it real? Damn straight. Watch this miracle in force mechanics… a ball steadily suspended on sound waves coming from small speakers.
Science/Technology: Astronauts Capture Super-High Def Images Of Seltzer Tablets Bubbling In A Drop Of Water In Space (Video)
November 12, 2015
Okay, this some ‘stoner’ looking stuff. Hahaaaa! That is NOT to say that it is not still cool as hell. Einstein’s theories aside, in space sometimes you have a lot of time. What to do…what to do with it… Got it! Why not let loose a sizable droplet of water on the International Space Station, inject it with small drops of liquid coloring, then dissolve an effervescent tablet (e.g. an Alka-Seltzer) in the floating ball of colorful water, and capture images of the action/reactions using a super-duper high-definition camera. And if you are really slick, you can tie it into the astronaut work you are supposed to be doing up there on the station.
The cameras are being evaluated for capturing science data and vehicle operations by engineers at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.
See? They weren’t just playing plop-plop, fizz-fizz with dyed water up there. The astronauts were exploring water tension in microgravity. It’s science!

Watch A Real-Life JetPack Flown Around The Statue Of Liberty (Video)
November 11, 2015
YES! There have been clunkier attempts at this cool tech… but THIS is the JetPack we’ve waited for; the one that jumped out of comics, cartoons & sci-fi into our reality. You’re likely flashing back to our JetMan posts on here (you should, ’cause they are dope); BUT those flights were launched while the pilots were in the air already. This is not that. These are those Jonny Quest stand-on-the-ground, launch up-and-away joints. And the pilot in this one is flying over water, around the Statue of Liberty, sure. However, this Pack is not pushing water through a tube to propel itself over limited distances and heights.
THIS IS THE REAL TAKE-OFF AND LAND ON YOUR OWN FUN TECH!
(Wow. Blown away. Thank you JB-9 inventor/pilot David Mayman of JetPack Aviation.)

Technology: Boeing Innovations Has Made A Metal That Is Almost As Light As Air (Video)
October 14, 2015
If you can watch this and think it’s not cool as sh!t… we’re gonna need you to reevaluate what cool tech is. In a word: WOW!
Microlattice is the lightest metal ever made. At 99.99% air, it’s light enough to balance on top of a dandelion, while its structure makes it strong. Strength and record breaking lightness make it a potential metal for future planes and vehicles.

Technology: Miracle Motorbike Can Go 300 Miles On A Quart Of Water! (Video)
September 29, 2015
That motor sounds like the space cars on The Jetsons cartoon Hahaaaa!
And that’s the last laugh, because this futuristically powered motorbike is serious business. I am surprised that Big Auto or some oil company has not put a hit out on dude …yet. Then again, no matter how fast or far gas prices come down, can they ever really compete with a bike that travels 310 miles on a little more than a quart of water? With no exhaust pollutants; just water vapor? WOWOWWWWW! This is good tech.
A motorcycle able to travel up to 500 kilometres (310 miles) on a litre of water was trumpeted by creator Ricardo Azevedo in Sao Paulo, Monday.
Called the ‘T Power H20,’ the design features a combination of water and a single, external car battery used to produce electricity and separate the hydrogen from the water molecule. The process, involving a pipe-system, results in combustion which subsequently creates the energy necessary to power the bike.

Science/Technology: New ‘Vetigel’ Stops Bleeding In Seconds (Video)
September 8, 2015
Soon to be a must-have in every first-aid kit, this Vetigel can be injected into the deepest cuts to literally stop heavy bleeding within seconds. The Vetigel is a hemostatic substance, made using algae, whose particles reorganize in the wound to form a solid blockade to stop blood from escaping.
Vetigel is approved for use on animals now; with clearance for use on humans expected next year (2016). A little too late for this year’s barbecue carving mishaps; but for next year’s cookouts, perhaps have some Vetigel kits at the ready.
Oh, and when Joe Landolina started working on this medical science innovation… He was 17 years old (wow)!

Shade Balls: Los Angeles Is Fighting The Drought… With Science (Video)
August 14, 2015
How about that? Engineering (e.g. applied science) solves another real life problem. The world is better when more and more smart people are around to think about and fix problems. Los Angeles (California, USA) has been in the grips of a deadly drought. And in the rest of The States, we have looked on helplessly. But I think they are onto something here.
This is a good case of ‘black-balling’… deters water loss from evaporation, development of algae, wildlife contamination… PLUS, I cannot stop watching the cool clip of a big batch of shade balls being dumped into the LA Reservoir.
