Intel's Wireless Electricity

It seem's like this is the new 'talk' of the... week.. month? Whatever, so yea, charge your laptops -- WIRELESS STYLE! Yea.. its weird... its different.. and its definitely going to be a while longer, but we're on our way. And Intel is paving this way for us.

Basically, 2 years ago, MIT researcher Marin Soljacic found out a way to transmit electricity through a magnetic field of an electrically charged loop of wire. He then reported that himself and his team could transfer power to a 60 watt light bulb from 3 feet away with an efficiency of 90%.

Intel has adapted this idea, by consulting with Marin and his group, and have achieved 75% efficiency from 2-3 feet away. The coils are -- no doubt -- extremely large for a laptop to use as wifi charging, but come on now, THIS IS INTEL WE'RE TALKIN BOUT...

Measles Comeback!!

Measles is back and its cause of those parents who think that vaccinations are wrong!

Ok, so I'm 'kinda' against NOT vaccinating kids. A lot of people have this fear that kids will become autistic through vaccinations.

"Fifteen children under 20, including four babies, have been hospitalized and 131 sickened by the red splotches since the beginning of this year" according to the CDC.

This disease was eliminated in the year 2000. However, because of that previously mentioned fear of autism, ITS BACK. There are no conclusive studies on whether or not you get autism -- there are doctors who believe this to be untrue, and there are professionals who believe it to be true. But.. BUT... UN-VACCINATED KIDS GET SICK. This is fact...so... umm... vaccinate!

Portal to Mayan Underworld

Underground and underwater labyrinths have been found with connections to 14 caves -- in Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico.

"There are stones, huge columns, and sculptures of priests in the caves", said Anda -- one of the archeologists in this discovery.

A lot of thought is placed on whether or not the Mayan mythology of the deads travel to Xibalba (afterlife) was before or after the creation of the labyrinths. For me its just real cool that this is an actual creation/thought. I loved the movie The Fountain which had some aspects based on the idealogies of the Mayans, and Xibalba (the picture on the right). The underworld entrances is what brings back my dreams and fantasies from childhood... lol -- I wish we built things like these still...!!

Home Depot Scam

A"heads up" for those men who may be regular Home Depot customers.

Over the last month I became a victim of a clever scam while out shopping. Simply going out to get supplies has turned out to be quite traumatic. Don't be naive enough to think it couldn't happen to you or your friends.

Here's how the scam works:

Two seriously good-looking 20-21 year-old girls come over to your car as you are packing your shopping into the trunk. They both start wiping your windshield with a rag and Windex, with their breasts almost falling out of their skimpy T-shirts. It is impossible not to look.

When you thank them and offer them a tip, they say "No" and instead ask you for a ride to another Home Depot. You agree and they get in the backseat. On the way, they start undressing. Then one of them climbs over into the front seat and starts crawling all over you, while the other one steals your wallet. I had my wallet stolen November 4th, 9th,10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, & 24th 29th. Also December 1st, 4th, twice on the 8th, 16th, 23rd, 26th, 30th, three times last Saturday and very likely again this upcoming weekend.

So tell your friends to be careful.

P.S. Walmart has wallets on sale 2.99 each
