Technology: How Adam Savage Built An Iron Man Flight Suit In Real Life (Video)
June 19, 2019
I swear. If Tony f**king Stark was not fictional and he was making an ‘Iron Man’ suit right now this is precisely how he would do it…
– Adam Savage
Come to think of it, there’s gotta be a comic character out there named Adam Savage (or there should be). Watch how geeked our man from ‘MythBusters’ fame gets about this Avenger outfit brought to life in this clip!
We went behind the scenes with former MythBusters star Adam Savage for his new series Savage Builds. In the first episode Adam builds a titanium Iron Man suit modeled directly from Marvel Studios, with the hopes of actually flying it.

Food: The ‘Impossible Whopper’ Is Coming To Burger King. But How Does It Taste? (Video)
April 10, 2019
Ohhhh! That’s what they meant by an Impossible Whopper. It is very possible that I will cop a couple when they come to the Atlanta market for my own taste test. I love the Whopper. And I’ve had some decent veggie burgers. This is set to be better than both!
Burger King has become the largest restaurant chain to embrace plant-based meat. See what Impossible Foods had to do to win over the King.
No April Fools’ joke: This Whopper is meat-free, and you’d never know. I ate Burger King’s Impossible Whopper, made of plant meat.

Bill Nye Speaks On His Mission To ‘Save The World’ And On How Political Science Has Become (Video)
April 24, 2017
The hero we have been waiting for to return… It’s Bill Nye The Science Guy! He’s here to “Save The World” with not only the spread of scientific interest & knowledge, but apparently promoting a point of view. Science is political. You actually know that. Think about great socio-political battles we have fought. They have been over questions that put politics smack dab in the middle of what should be apolitical pursuits: When does life begin (e.g. pro life vs. pro choice)? Are slaves really people or something ‘less than’ that should be owned or controlled (e.g. pre- through post civil war, the battle for civil rights in courtrooms and on congressional floors)? And there is a ‘less uncomfortable’ (but no less important) battle that Bill mentions here… Is Climate Change (e.g. Global Warming) a man-made phenomena that we can/must stop?
As Flavor Flav would say, “We got some nonbelievers out there!” So the fight is on. Save us Science Guy… with KNOWLEDGE… not politics!
The Science Guy sits down with Bridget Carey to talk about his new Netflix show and the three biggest problems the world is facing.

Great interview! Take away two things: (1) Most important, Bill is back, now on Netflix, AND (2) Bridget Carey is hella cute…had to be said.

Waverly Labs’ Pilot Earpiece Lets You Hear And Understand A Foreign Language In Real Time (Video)
March 1, 2017
It’s a Star Trek-style dream, but one that’s inching closer to reality.
– C|NET
See? Like Star Trek’s Universal Translator tech. Another nerd fantasy come to life right here. Give it another year, and it’s likely you will want one in your ear. To be certain, you’ll still want to learn the languages and nuances of those from foreign lands with whom you want to communicate… BUT… this Pilot Earpiece from Waverly Labs though: futuristic science fiction becomes science FACT! This Earpiece can translate a conversation between two native speakers of different languages in real time. See how above. Read more by clicking the link below.
