Yeah, you heard me. A family of farmers decided to make a cannon to launch pumpkins. I hope this is going to be entered inttto the World Pumpkin Chunkin' Contest. It's held in my home state of Delaware and I used to go to this thing and just get smashed and watch cannons launching pumpkins down field. Wowowowowow! Oh, how I miss Delaware. I think I'll have to go back just to experience this again. Watch the video! It's amazing. Dan

Via Seriouseats.com Now if you are completely chopstick inept, then these are the perfect invention for you. Now I think they are being serious, but this would make a great gag gift for the person that is constantly messing up their shirt by trying to eat a sauce laden shrimp. Here's what Serious Eats had to say: If you find yourself in Asia without chopsticks chops, consider the Chopsticks Aid . The sleek-looking fork face attached to sticks was designed by a Czech man named Jaroslav Kucera . Because, you know, those Czechs are always looking out for our chopstick dexterity. Or you could just learn how to use chopsticks. [via conky ]

I know. I haven't been blogging recently and it's because I've been a bit busy with work and with my Korean class. Last night we had a big test that I studied forever for just to find that most of the stuff that I memorized was NOT on the test. Grrrr... Anyway, I learned a lot so it's all good. For those who know me, I'm a bit of a gadget freak. I mean my backpack is always weighed down by numerous electronic items that I probably don't need to carry around. I mean I have my laptop, my Zoom H4 audio recorder, my Canon Powershot G9 Camera, an electronic dictionary, and...I think that's it. So, when I see stuff like this on the web, I just say "Cool!"
