  • The Fifteen Most Coffee-Consuming Occupations
    October 2, 2012
    This is an informational graphic depicting the fifteen most coffee drinking occupations. Did yours make the list? Mine didn't. "Writer/editor is number four, dummy." Oh I'm sorry, I was looking for HERO. I have no clue if this is even accurate though because there are zero... / Continue →
  • It Ate My Fort!: Sony's Cardboard-Powered Battery
    December 22, 2011
    Seen here trying to steal my soul with her stare, a Sony employee demonstrates a new "biological" battery capable of turning cellulose into glucose into energy efficiently enough to power an MP3 player. Me? I'm still cool recharging mine via USB, but what do I know? (SPOILER... / Continue →
  • Robotic Venus Flytraps Could Power The Future's Robots With Dead Stuff
    October 31, 2011
    These is a robotic Venus flytrap. It attracts and traps flies using technology and NOT yellow sticky tape (although that does work too and I do let my nephew pick the flies out and play with them). You know the saying, "you can't kill flies with a spear?" Well that's a lie, ... / Continue →
  • Aeroshots, Huffable Energy Supplements
    October 18, 2011
    Energy: it's good to have (just not 70 energy drinks worth). Huffing things: it's fun to do. So naturally, huffable caffeine supplements are a no-brainer. Each Aeroshot contains 100mg of finely-powdered caffeine (~a large cup of coffee) and looks enough like a shotgun shell ... / Continue →
  • Soylent Green: Real Product, Not Real People
    August 2, 2011
    $9 Soylent Green crackers: not made with people, but with a made with people pricetag. That's a little questionable. But they are packed with spinach and "high energy plankton", so you can at least get your Popeye on knowing you're doing The Krusty Krab a service. Soylent Gr... / Continue →
  • Cable Box Suppliers Hate The Environment
    June 28, 2011
    The manufacturers of cable boxes/DVR's and cable companies hate the environment so much they don't care how much electricity their shittily designed garbage boxes waste. Or, let's be honest, how well they work. You know how many times I've missed Gossip Girl because their stu... / Continue →

    April 15, 2011
    Seen here looking suspiciously absolutely nothing like my basement, indoor weed growing ops like this one are estimated to be responsible for 1% of all US energy consumption -- around $5-billion a year. Which, for the record, I would never pay for an ounce. Not even one grown... / Continue →

    March 31, 2011
    Energy AND protein -- I'm down. 19-year old liar Vitaliy Sulzhik claims he found a dead mouse in the bottom of a Monster Energy drink. YOU SHUT THE F*** UP VITTLES -- I USE THOSE THINGS FOR CHASERS SOMETIMES! Vitaliy Sulzhik had downed the energy drink shortly after buying... / Continue →
  • Do Want: Mega Man Energy Tank Coffee Mug
    January 24, 2011
    This is a $28 coffee mug from Fangamers (shipping next month) that was designed to look like one of Mega Man's energy tanks. Except now it's your energy tank since coffee is what makes people get up and function in the morning instead of floundering around in bed all day like ... / Continue →
