A sweet weblog with pictures and video of some of the coolest stuff out there!

From gadgets to home stuff to Entertainment, if it screams awesome to you, it is here!

Looking for a cool clock? Want to see what Darth Vader was oriinally going to look like? DJ Cassette tape scratcher? Yeah, they got it!

Another great site for cool is Epic Win! If you have seen ‘Failblog’ then this, my friend, is the yin to it’s yang!

Just a couple of fun sites for web-surfing, time-wasting fun!

Scientists have shown off an effect not unlike that of the “phasers” in the show Star Trek – but- hold yer tricorder there, Trekfan! it only works on tiny worms called nematodes.

The worms were fed a molecule that, when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light, changes its shape. Then they exposed to UV light, and they exhibited paralysis.

When the worms were again exposed to visible light, they regained their ability to move.

So, no handheld phasers yet, but maybe someday…

Meanwhile, keep practicing that Vulcan neck pinch there, sport!
