Greek Financial Crisis

Great article over at Vanity Fair about the Greek financial crisis. They need the IMF to step in and clean up the country. Then again, it’s the responsibility of Greece, not the EU to clean up this mess. The whole debacle about bribes and not paying taxes is something that can also be seen in the US. A lot of corporations pay almost nothing in income tax due to legal but dubious accounting practices.

The Future of Reading

Interesting article by Jonah Lehrer over at Wired. I have yet to purchase an iPad or eReader and I still buy lots of books. It will take a while before the book is replaced with technology. In the last few days, since Friday, I’ve read 10 paperback books.

Bender Hates Mondays, Just Like You!

Ah, Mondays. Thankfully, we’re already Tuesday, so heck, Monday went by pretty fast. Still, I don’t really like Mondays. I really like Fridays, how about you guys?

Minimalist Radio By Simon Hasan: No, You Don’t Get Sirius On It

At first glance, it’s hard to figure out what this strange looking thing actually does. Granted, there’s an antenna, but that’s about it that would give you a clue it’s a radio.

The Amazing Race They Don’t Call It The Amazing Race For Nothin S17E01 (CBS)

Brooke/Claire are HSN sellers. Chad/Stefanie are dating and from Miami. Katie/Rachel are beach volleyball partners. Connor/Jonathan are ivy league A cappella singers. Nat/Kat are doctors as well as BFFs.

I think that we’re the nerd team.
The Hot Doctors

Nope, Hot Doctors, the Nerds are the nerds, you’re the Hot Doctors!

Air Quandary: Why Would You Get the New MacBook Air

If you’ve checked out the most recent Mac rumors, it seems that the new MacBook Air will get a smaller 11.6-inch screen. To some people it might seem somewhat strange that Apple might actually reduce the screen size of the Air, but we got to hand it to them, it kind of makes a lot of sense. Why? Read on to find out more.

Perki’s Cozy Little Tech Nook Looks Great to Work On

Minifigs Run Through LEGO Logan’s Run

What’s not to love about this great LEGO tribute by Keith Goldman to Logan’s Run? If you haven’t ever seen this retro sci-fi flick, it’s well worth it. It’s part of a crop of dystopian movies that were made in the 70s and 80s. I enjoyed watching it and I’m enjoying these photos of Keith’s diorama.
