We spent the day is supreme lazy mode watching so much Science Channel that we think we may be able to get hired at NASA immediately. All day the shows revolved around “How The Universe Works” and we’ve witnessed galaxies being created and planets being formed and supernovas doing what supernovas do best. The most...
what a goddamn relief! i managed to meander down to Times Square after work tonight…just to see what was going on there. I didn’t know what to expect but was quickly swallowed up in the various pockets and pincushions of excitement around me, subdued for the most part, diluted by worry and doubt and fear...
Check out this brilliantly funny short film about a man and his trials with his newly completed time machine.

Living in a big city, sometimes we have to make compromises in the way we live our lives. One of those compromises that seems to be a problem for most is space. We are always trying to find ways to create more space in the shoebox sized apartments we call home. For those who own...

It’s been a while since we ‘flipped the bird’, our column in which we take things we discover on Twitter and share them with you all.
