For ten bucks i'll jump off it.

Dan McKeown commenting on Tall Buildings or On Hyperbole

You are on, I have the ten dollars in my pocket right now.

Alexander Micek commenting on Tall Buildings or On Hyperbole

That's just silly.

Mykala commenting on Tall Buildings or On Hyperbole

I'll give you a hundred. Seriously.

John commenting on Finally Some Good Lightening

And Chester E. Wilson would hang his head in disappointment for a student he could not enlighten.

Nils commenting on Tall Buildings or On Hyperbole

How tall is the Freedom Tower supposed to be? I thought that it was going to take the gold as the current tallest building in the world upon it's completion.

On another note, this is your longest post you have ever written. And I liked it.

Alexander Micek commenting on Tall Buildings or On Hyperbole

I've got the Freedom Tower at 417m at the roof, a bit below the highest floor on Tapei. The Freedom Tower will, however, have a pretty massive spire (in the current iteration of its design) which will make its total height pretty … high.

Oh, and thanks Nils, I've got another longish post in the writing pipeline. :)

When you buy a car capable of going 250 mph, does it really matter what it looks like. Any car traveling that fast pretty much looks the same, blurry.

Network attached storage - This is a note to future me. I finally found out what NAS stands for - basically, it’s a rack of hard drives that allows your computers to talk to a chunk of managed hard drives for redundant networked data storage. This is exactly what I have been thinking would be appropriate for the digital person that I tend to be: a central place for photos, video, and data.

As an antidote to that previous link - Some adorable baby birds - the one on the left has amazingly vivid colors.

I'm totally for you giving one away on your site!

I completely agree with Amber, now all you need to do is come up with a million bucks, or steal one

Markoe commenting on “The fastest and most expensive production car ever”: the Bugatti Veyron

I'll bring the ski masks!

Somehow I dont think he got prettier after he died.

I'll bring the peanut butter!
