Let's Talk Tech
It’s smart. It’s creative. It’s funny. It’s beautifully animated.
Take five minutes out of your day and watch ‘JohnnyExpress’ by AlfredImageWorks.
You’ll thank me later.

Inertia is a property of matter…
If you were in school in the 90’s, chances are pretty good that you spent a little time watching Bill Nye the Science Guy, and it was an entertaining look at scientific concepts for young and old alike. Apparently Mr. Nye has been uploading full episodes to Youtube, and the dude only has 10,000 subscribers. What’s up with that?
Now we just need someone to get on delivering a full set of Square One…
Aw social media. The great equalizer. Giving people who should know better the tools to publicly embarrass themselves.
Take this little gem of an exchange. Dmitry Rogozin, the Russian Deputy of Military and Space, was apparently unhappy about the recent sanctions imposed, and had this to say on Twitter:
Analyzing sanctions against our kosmoproma, suggest the U.S. to take its astronauts to the ISS using the trampoline http:// russian.rt.com/article/29891
Ouch. Gonna need some ice for that burn, but who should come to our rescue? Why none other than Mr. Tesla McSpaceX himself Elon Musk! His reply:
Sounds like this might be a good time to unveil the new Dragon Mk 2 spaceship that @SpaceX has been working on w @NASA. No trampoline needed.
It’d be great if Russia could once again play the bad guys to motivate us into spending more on our space agency again. I mean, without all that actual pesky cold war nonsense of course. In the meantime, we’ll just keep pointing to Mr. Musk as our own real life Tony Stark.
I wish Good Eats was back on the air. Until that time, I’ll just have to make do with Alton Brown producing his own amazing videos on the Youtubes.
If you enjoy mustards like I do, then you also know the frustration of how poorly designed most mustard bottles are. Alton has an ingenious solution for those afflicted with this terrible malady…
So first of all, it’s just kind of fantastic that the little copter wasn’t hit by one of the explosions.
VIMEO user Gasper C uploaded this video showing what it would look like if you could safely get up close and personal to an exploding fireworks show. Enjoy.

Companies keep such tight reigns on their marketing and messaging, that when the occasional “human” moment leaks through it can be oddly refreshing. One of the top fights in smartphones right now is the HTC One M8 vs the Samsung Galaxy S5. You can expect a little A LOT of smack talk from these respective camps over the coming months, though it’s rare to see a company wade into a fight directly
Fanboi flame wars are tiresome, but coming direct from corporate, this was kind of fun. Here’s HTC Senior Global Online Communications Manager Jeff Gordon (@urbanstrata), taking the bait.

@stevekovach @urbanstrata he started it.

I talk a lot about smartwatches, but how about a timepiece focused on the opposite? Happy Hour Time pieces sent me over one of their watches with features like “giant 5 for easy visual indication of happy hour” and a bottle opener built into the wrist strap. Let’s take it for a spin!
