| Farewell |
| 03.23.05 (5:48 am) [edit] |

This has been a decision that I've pondered over for many months now, finally blossoming into a reality. Well, I thought about it this morning on the pot and decided to just call it quits. I'm bored of it and frankly don't get enough respect...
Doctor Thalamo's Secret Brain Lair will exist no more.
I have moved on to bigger and better projects, and cannot waste time on this tblog shizer anymore. I want to thank Robin Z, Van Helsing, and Darth Leigh for their continued support (and unsupportive thoughts and comments) throughout the past year. So to the three of you, I will keep you posted on my future endeavors. For the rest, who cares...
Oh! And Darth, just so you know - you've been flirting with a dude this whole time.
Yep, that's right... Robin Z is a dude. Classic.
I now leave you with one, final blog.
Is Jesus A Zombie?

| The Millimeter Wave |
| 03.17.05 (12:52 pm) [edit] |
Ah, the new “personal security” firm Quinteq... their latest mad scientist invention may yet prove to be their greatest. They’re calling the technology Millimeter Wave, and scanners based on the device can “see” through walls and clothes, something that the pervs and homeland security officials will love alike. Apparently they are also working on a “hyperspectral sensor” which picks up stress pheromones in the air.
Van Helsing could've used this to spy on Kate Beckinsale, but instead he used it on Robin Z and Darth Leigh's sleep over last night. Yowza!

| The Bike Tree |
| 03.17.05 (12:40 pm) [edit] |
The Bike Tree is the perfect solution for your city or school. Simply swipe your smart card, enter your PIN and watch as your bike is hoisted up into the glass canopy, filling out a bike rain forest of sorts. Perfect for bike sharing or rental programs, the system was first installed in Geneva and is powered by solar power, but your bike is still accessible 24/7.
 
No jokes on this one - I think I actually like the idea...
(it could be cooler looking though...)

| The Newest "Night Light" |
| 03.17.05 (12:04 pm) [edit] |
Design team Suck UK brings us the ultimate in trendy simplicity: a nightlight whose encased bulb recharges from natural light during the day, and glows ethereally at night. Functional, aesthetic and environmental for $45 — your nightstand could do worse.
Too bad Robin Z can't get one - he spends 20 hours a day playing flight simulation games in his basement blocking all forms of light except for the eerie glow coming from his monitor. Creepy right?

| Walking Forest Machine |
| 03.16.05 (7:39 am) [edit] |
Just in time for the new Stars Wars movie! This technological mastery in lawn motors is crazy-looking... it's probably the number cause of Ewok-related deaths.
The walking forest machine is Plustech's best-known innovation. The goal of product development was to create a machine that has the best possible working stability and minimum impact on the terrain
The walking machine adapts automatically to the forest floor. Moving on six articulated legs, the harvester advances forward and backward, sideways and diagonally. It can also turn in place and step over obstacles. Depending on the irregularity of the terrain, the operator can adjust both the ground clearance of the machine and heigh of each step.
 The common Ewok, has lived a tragic life, slowly being wiped out by Walking Forest Machines and unable to find work as being typecast from The Return of the Jedi.

| P. Diddy Wants to be James Bond |
| 03.15.05 (10:23 am) [edit] |
Listen, that's fine if P Diddy wants to be the first black James Bond character... hell, we all have dreams. I wish my blog was cool. But you learn to deal with what is within your own, personal boundaries...
...for P. Diddy, he should realize that James Bond is British so his dream has now been forever shattered.
The Diddster (I made that one up) was on Conan the other day and this is what transpired:
Conan: I read that you wanna be the first black James Bond in the movies. Is that true?
Diddy: Yes. Definitely.
Conan: Change the name?
Diddy: Yes. It's a new time. We're taking the Bond imprint of what he stood for, but we gon'
remix it. My name's gonna be Robert Ground.
Conan: So instead if saying: "Bond, James Bond." You're gonna say: "Ground, Robert Ground."
Diddy: Robert Ground. It's serious. I'm about to announce the deal next week.
Conan: Is Ground gonna be from England or is he gonna be from America?
Diddy: He gon' be from Harlem. It's America baby! This is our turn!
Conan: Is he gonna have Martinis?
Diddy: Everything. He's gonna be a younger version of Bond.
Conan: When are we gonna see this?
Diddy: It should be out in the next 20 months or so.
Conan: He's gonna be cool. Is he gonna need a side kick?
Diddy: He's gonna have a whole ensemble. It's gonna be a new way to tell it. It's gonna be
edgier.

| Clocky |
| 03.15.05 (10:12 am) [edit] |
Okay, I've blogged some cool shit before but this tops the cake!
Clocky is a clock for people who have trouble getting out of bed. When the snooze bar is pressed, Clocky rolls off the table and finds a hiding spot, a new one every day. It was created at MIT by god-who-knows, but it's a freakin' sweet-ass innovation.
Actually, I'm kinda bored about this already and I haven't even posted it yet. I have never in all my days EVER hit the snooze button.

| How Compatible Are You With Jude Law? |
| 03.15.05 (10:05 am) [edit] |
After Chris Rock took a few jabs at Jude Law during the Oscars' opener, the actor was outraged and dumped his talent agent the very next day. It made me wonder how compatible Jude and his agents really were...
...and what the chances are that I could be more compatible with Jude, thus becoming his new agent making him the world's greatest star of all time!
Using Facade's Bio Rhythym website, I was able to mathematically figure out how compatible the two of us really are. Facade has a pretty big list of celebrities that you can you test bio rhythyms with!
(By the way, Jude and I were only 59% compatible... damn)

| Self-Destruct DiskOn Key |
| 03.14.05 (1:14 pm) [edit] |
Are you a government spy? A private eye? Neither, but still enjoy the cool gadgets that they get to play around with?
In the event that someone really is trying to crack into your files, the KeyPoint CMS has a built-in failsafe procedure that will delete all data on the drive after an excess number of invalid access attempts. With such robust data protection, the drive is actually compliant for use in the medical industry, which is supposedly a big deal.
While searching Google Images for a cool spy shot to use, I came across this camera... nothing really to do with the blog, but still pretty sweet!

| Could "Mini" Be Taking Over As the Newest Fad? |
| 03.10.05 (9:33 am) [edit] |
I tell ya - in a nation always talking about bigger being better, i think the coolest fads as of late are the "mini"-sized ones. The BMW Mini Coop, Mini Me (sidekick of Doctor Evil, evil classmate of Doctor Thalamo), iPod minis, so on and so forth. Even those lab coat-wearing, uncool physicists who can't gain any respect have finally understood what's cool. To them, it's mini black holes... the famous Cern lab, near Geneva, Switzerland (physics geeky HQs) has jumped on the trendy bandwagon.
Their newest gadget, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a particle accelerator which will probe deeper into matter than ever before. Due to switch on in 2007, the LHC is designed to probe beyond our current understanding of physics. A while back, scientists discovered all kinds of mysterious rays, X-rays, cathode rays, alpha and beta rays. Where did they come from? Were they all made of the same thing, and if so what?
The hopes are that the LHC will help understand these questions and more, such as dark matter, by producing mini black holes. The LHC will recreate the searing-hot conditions that existed just fractions of a second after the Big Bang. Scientists hope this will enable them to see new physics, and discover the sought-after Higgs boson, or "God particle", which explains why matter has mass.

| Cool Stuff For Blind People |
| 03.10.05 (6:24 am) [edit] |
Granted, I would probably rather have a seeing eye dog, but this is not a bad substitute! Sound Foresight is now shipping their new UltraCane, a white cane for the blind and vision-impaired that uses echolocation (similar to how dolphins and whales "hear") to determine what obstacles lie ahead.
The main difference between this type of echolocation and that of a dolphin, is that the dolphin uses echolocation primarily for evil purposes of killing inferior animals for sport.
Using ultrasonic waves, the cane detects objects in the path of a user and relays them through buttons on the cane’s handle. The buttons vibrate based on the user’s direction and distance to an object, allowing them to physically perceive what’s in front of them and break that nasty tripping into trash cans habit. $769 from Sound Foresight, includes instructions in Braille. Seriously, it does.
 Just like Big Daddy Cane!
