Meet Remi Gaillard. He’s a real Italian plumber (except he’s French). The kind that drives a go-kart in live traffic, throwing banana peels at those trying to pass him by in an attempt to thwart their course. Yes, this man is playing Mario Kart for real. A hilarious video that’s well made and fun to watch. Don’t miss out.
This morning, time stood still as I came upon this article on how a team of researchers at Rice University in Houston are working to create a beer that could fight cancer and heart disease. They’re genetically engineering a beer that includes resveratrol, a disease-fighting chemical that can been found in red wine.
These folks deserve the Nobel Prize in awesomeness. Before now, beer has always been that drink that tasted great, made you feel like a million bucks and left you with a gut and a bad hangover. Now, it does all of those things in addition to promoting a healthy heart. Fuck eating Cheerios; drink beer instead.
There are few things scarier than a politician on Halloween, except for the red ring of death. Alan Penner of Goleta, California carved a ton of tech-inspired pumpkins for his front porch. A Ubuntu pumpkin and various emoticon carvings decorate his lawn, with the red ring of death being the most frightening of all.
With all the new games coming out this holiday season for the Xbox 360, the last thing any Xbox owner needs is a red ring of death. So, let’s keep the red rings on the pumpkins and off of the 360s.
Here’s an Eric Cartman-approved gadget. With a smart ass name like Traffic Prompter, you know these sirens are going to be put to good misuse. At $16 each, they each sport a magnetic base, making a pair ideal for robbery, rape and exploitation of the law. We don’t approve of misuse for personal gain but perhaps you could throw them in your party room to gain access to some panties.
Remember, try anything funny and someone will take a picture of you and will send it to the police via MMS.
Not much is known about this red lamp that’s shaped like a huge cupcake diamond. It’s produced by IARF (Interior Adventures For Real) who I assume has quite a sense of humor. For real.
What a piece of shit. Remember that pig fucker who traded a small red paper clip for a house and blogged about the entire process? Well now he’s selling the house or trading it for something really good. Looking for a house in Canada? You have until July 11th to buy it or trade something for it.
The worst part about all this is that apparently, the house is a tourist attraction. Therefore it becomes your job to constantly invite people into your home for no profit. Sounds like a dream come true.
Valentine’s Day affects even the techlogy market. You wouldn’t think that companies would put too much effort into having special products for this holiday, but you’d be wrong. Samsung has just released their nice PMP, the K3, in Red (looks kinda pink). Samsung has changed no features for this new red edition. None. The casing is just red. So as a rundown of the features already on the black K3s, you get a 1.8″ OLED display, an FM tuner, touch-sensitive controls, and multiple audio format compatability including MP3 and WAV.Just so you don’t get confused, you won’t be helping any African children if you buy this, it isn’t associated with the PRODUCT(RED) campaign. It’s just red. –Nik Gomez

The Aliph Jawbone Bluetooth headset was created to revolutionize how headsets worked and the quality with which they delivered you your conversations. It works with multiple tiny microphones to provide a superb noise-canceling headset that improves call quality. It is able to detect the difference between your voice and every other ambient sound that shouldn’t be put through to the person you are talking to so that they only hear you. This removes the need to repeat yourself over and over.
The Jawbone not only uses revolutionary technology to work perfectly, it also looks great. It sets itself apart from the other clunky headsets by having its design defined by its name. This device doesn’t protrude away from your head, instead it curves slightly to the contours of your face. It is very small and short, and is now available in red. The Jawbone goes for about $120. To be the highest tech guy in your office, isn’t it worth it?
