Thermometer Spatula Monitors Food Temps While You Stir [Utensils]

Thermometer Spatula Monitors Food Temps While You Stir [Utensils]:
Designed for recipes that are finicky about the temperature of the ingredients—like fudge, candies, and jams—this silicone spatula has an internal temperature probe that helps prevent whatever you're stirring from overheating and burning.
Not surprisingly the Thermospatula is heat-resistant up to 428 degrees fahrenheit and is capable of displaying temperatures in celsius or fahrenheit from -4 to 464 degrees. And so you're not dropping $24 on a one-trick pony, the spatula's temperature probe is removable and can be used by itself as a meat thermometer ensuring your entire meal turns out perfect-not just dessert.

BioShock Immortalized In This Catchy, Darned Funny Song [Video]:

Oh, man. There's tribute songs, and then there's tribute songs. This one, by New York singer/comedian Brent Black, who performs as Brentalfloss, falls into the italicized camp—not only did it make me laugh, I can't get it out of my head. More »

This F-18 Hornet Pass Just Froze My Gonads [Airplanes]:
Unless you have been right next to one in real life, it's easy to forget how gigantic jet fighters are. They are truly huge mothers. Take a look at this image of a Navy F/A-18F Super Hornet swooshing by a building in a low pass along the Detroit River in Detroit.
Madness? This is THE NAVY! [Navy Vets—Thanks Gonzalo!]

The 3,000-Pound Fire-Breathing Robot Scorpion Roving the Nevada Desert [Video]

The 3,000-Pound Fire-Breathing Robot Scorpion Roving the Nevada Desert [Video]:
Burning Man, despite its reputation, is not just some low-fi hippie party in the middle of nowhere. The place is bursting with unique technology. Some of it blows out your eardrums, some helps you survive in a hostile environment, and some just inspires wonder, awe, and a little bit of fear.
Brent is reporting live from Burning Man all week, in a possibly fruitless attempt to convince Joe that this trip should not come out of his vacation time.
At this week-long festival in the remote Nevada desert, where no humans live, the population rises close to 60,000 and then it vanishes into the ether. Along with the people come elaborate sculptures and insane vehicles—like, for example, this gigantic fire-breathing scorpion. When I encountered it, I had a choice: Either run away screaming, or climb up its butt and go for a ride. So I got on board and met its makers.
The concept and cash for the Scorpion came from longtime-burner Ken Murdoch, but it was designed and built by Kirk Jellum, an aerospace engineer. In 2010, Jellum quit the space business to build stuff for Burning Man full-time. You need an engineer to complete a project this complex—each leg moves individually, the arms move independently, the claws contract, and the tail can bend and flex. There are over 20 points of articulation, which can be operated from a series of levers on the deck.

To create the fire effects in the tail (each of which has an independent ignition), a computer and a series of Arduino controls run programs to fire off the various torches in rapid succession and in varying patterns. The Scorpion also has a pretty decent stereo system, and it looks amazing at night.
The vehicle is built on top of a 28 foot long 1993 International boom truck. It's contains over 3,000 pounds of steel. It took seven months, 500 design hours and 3,500 fabrication hours to complete. Now, it roams the desert, looking for revelers to amaze and other art cars to battle. Imagine this thing coming at you on a quiet suburban street. Madness.

In Praise of Pop Culture. Re-Imagined Religious Virgin Mary Statuettes.

In Praise of Pop Culture. Re-Imagined Religious Virgin Mary Statuettes.:



Five years ago, I first introduced you to artist Soasig Chamaillard and her "Appartitions", repurposed religious statuettes of the Madonna (a post in which the photos have been recently updated.)



Since that time, the project has been ongoing, despite the controversy over her work, and Soasig has continued to take existing figurines of the Virgin Mary and re-imagine them as pop culture icons like Star Wars' Obi Wan Kenobi, Hello Kitty, Super Mario, Sailor Moon, My Little Pony, A Beauty Pageant Winner, Power Rangers, Vampires, Cowboys and Indians and even Astronauts. They are only getting better. See for yourself.
