In Plain Sight

We recently finished watching “In Plain Sight”. While I wouldn’t classify it as one of my favorite shows, we did enjoy the series. It had its fair share of tropes and “uggh” moments, but for the most part they were pretty limited. The characters were likable and the situations mostly Read more…

Mars is 225 Gigameters Away

Why don’t we use Gigameters and Megameters?  Leaving aside that here in America we use miles, like a bunch of morons, why don’t prefixes continue past kilometers for regular use?

Top 10: All Time TV

Hover bike

Ever wondered what to get me for my birthday? This. Sure, it’s not available for sale, is only a prototype, is going to be offered to the military first, and when it does make its way to the public will cost probably all the money I’ll ever make, but still. Read more…
