Web 2.0 Travel Site of the Day: Kayak.com


I can honestly say I've used every travel search engine, but this one's the best... Where the other ones have to reload, reload, reload to show you anything, this one uses AJAX to let you narrow your search and show you the results in real-time... The only thing it doesnt have is Southwest Airlines, but noone has them...

Grass Chair


For those of you who have yards (unfortunately I am not one of you), this is a great product... It's basically a cardboard frame that you plant in your lawn, and it gives you a chair covered in grass (no not that kind)...

The American War on Science

Very interesting article talking about how we have a dependence on foreign science talent similar to our dependence on oil and how the Bush White House's assault on science combined with that dependence is not a good thing for America... Sad but true and a bit scary...

Homeland Security still full of idiots

So, Homeland Security decided New York had too much money to defend against terrorism... So they cut 40% from NY's budget and sent it to other cities with very low chance of getting hit...

How this blog got its name

I'm not exactly the best when it comes to things like naming blogs... so i named this one the first thing that came to my mind, which was based on the term "Choc-o-tastic" coined in the Simpsons... for those of you who haven't seen this before, the Wikipedia list of new words made up by the Simpsons is great...
