1. Ariel/Siren

We all know her to be under the sea, a castaway in her own family. Tom Shumate turns this lovable Disney character into a Siren we want on land.

Kurt Cobain
The recycling of great music is an art unto itself. Taking someone’s original song and playing it takes both courage and a willingness to face critical comparison. Most performers, even seasoned ones, avoid performing cover songs whenever possible, but some of the best musicians have not only taken on the challenge, they’ve conquered it.

6 Ridiculously Expensive Items I Would Buy If I Was Rich.

six_ridiculously_expensive_items_I_would_buy_if_I_was_rich

Many times throughout our lives people ask the age old question “What Would You Buy If You Were Rich?” I could say I would be responsible and make sure that everyone and their grandma would not have any debt, would drive a fast car and live in a mansion, but I would be a liar. I would want the coolest gadgets, geektastic toys and downright crazy stuff to adorn MY mansion with, so here are my top 6 things I would buy if I was rich. (Hey, at least I am honest!)

Ahem.

1. Customizable Shark Seabreacher

Yep. That’s right, if I was rich I wouldn’t buy a yacht or a cruise ship, I would buy a custom made Seabreacher and have it look like a shark. This baby can submerge underwater and launch up in the air at high speeds. Some of their  high tech features include; a snorkel mounted video camera that transmits live video to LCD screens for the pilot and passenger during dives, GPS navigation, and on board stereo system with iPod docking. Starting Price: $ 81,000 USD.

2. The 30th Anniversary Authentic Pac-Man Arcade Cocktail Table

Made by the same folks who created Pac-Man, Namco, the 30th Anniversary is built with the 1980 cabinets that are reminiscent of those days. If I was rich, I would put this bad boy in my newly designed man cave and drool over its 19″ LCD monitor that captures the vintage graphics, customize its look with the removable decals and deactivated coin doors. While dancing to the sounds of “Wocka, Wocka, Wocka” and spend my days playing Pac-Man and the 12 other vintage games that come included. Price: $3,500 CAD.

3. DOC XL Sofa Bunk Bed

Every room would have one of these terrific DOC XL sofa bunk beds, for the night’s we party too hard or for family and friends to crash on, if I was rich of course. Besides, I don’t know why we give up on bunk beds just cause we grow up. Price: $5400 USD.

Looks like a normal couch right?

Wait for it…

I love anything that is more than meets the eye!

TADA!

7 Most Wanted Flash Game Sequels

Posted By: on November 27, 2011

There’s nothing we love more then stumbling upon amazing new flash games. Maybe it’s an oldie that you’ve never played before, or maybe its this week’s newest release that burning up all over the Internet. Either way, we all know the excitement of that discovery…and the impatience that sets in after the game has been conquered. You sit there in your bedroom/office/school thinking, “what now?”

This is especially painful when a game leaves you with an ending that hints to a sequel. Just like a movie or favorite TV show, waiting for more is not a fun process by any means. Hopefully this eases the pain of waiting.

From House M.D. to M*A*S*H: TVs Best Surgical Technologists

Posted By: on November 10, 2011

The doctors and chief surgeons might get most of the spotlight on TV’s biggest medical dramas and comedies but just like in the medical profession, it’s the people that’s supposedly “under” them that deserve some, if not, most of the credit. Surgical technologists, surgical nurses and even anesthesiologists contribute a great deal of work and dedication to ensure their patients’ well being as the big-headed, ego dragging son of a you-know-what who’s just there to do the cutting and sewing when everyone else’s job is done. And while we can’t recognize the efforts of those who do these thankless jobs day in and day out even though all of us should (those of you who can afford to fill a school bus with beer and chocolates should do so now), the least we can do is honor the attempts in TV land to portray this thankless profession with the nobility it deserves.

Dog Defender, Fish Freak and Other Odd Paralegal Positions

Posted By: on October 17, 2011

Being a Paralegal doesn’t exactly summon thoughts of excitement and pleasure. In fact, many of you may already be asleep. For those who are considering a job as a paralegal, not to worry: there are some pretty exciting (albeit highly competitive) options out there for you. Assisting lawyers can be grim and drab if your boss is a public defender, the pinnacle of depressing occupations. It can be snoresome and boresome when acting as a paralegal for a lawyer working for large financial institutions or defending some already-rich guy’s crappy patent from twenty years ago. Paralegal positions assisting lawyers hired to work high-profile cases can, on the other hand, be interesting and exciting.

Fooling Forensic Science: How To Commit The Perfect Crime (For Real)

Posted By: on September 21, 2011
0

Have you ever wondered what it takes to commit a perfect, untraceable murder which would confound today’s advanced forensic science and technology? If you answered ‘no’, that’s because you don’t feel comfortable admitting such a morbid curiosity, you liar. It’s actually somewhat of a scientific question, and an important one which, if studied closely, may actually be able to help law enforcement and forensic scientists to close gaps presented in real criminal investigations. Unlike Leopold and Loeb, who managed to do the exact opposite of what they had set out to, there are many murderers who have discovered the formula for the perfect crime — and therefore remain anonymous and free today. This is not to say that there’s a guy out there who has repeatedly killed and never once made a mistake (although it’s possible), but instead that there are certain rules which should always be followed when committing bloody crimes, if the criminal wishes to remain undetected. With a billion different ways to trace even the smallest piece of evidence back to the culprit, how does one fool forensic science?

What is Steampunk?

Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction, alternate history, and speculative fiction that gained notoriety during the 1980’s and early 1990’s. The name is derived from “cyberpunk” in the 1980’s regarding science fiction and coined by the science fiction author, J.W. Jeter, who was trying to describe various Victorian science-fiction works, having the term used in a number of entertaining trends, such as stories, video games and fashion.

In the Art/Fashion world, Steampunk is a pseudo-Victorian mechanical style using materials such as polished brass, iron, wood, and leather with artistry and essentials coinciding with the Victorian era. They are eccentric pieces of art that expanded popularity within Goth, punks, cybergoths, industrial music fans and gaming communities, that is a continuous movement towards instituting Steampunk as a culture and lifestyle.
