    I went grocery shopping the other day. Shocking, I know. I needed to refuel on my condiment of condiments, ketchup. I saw a peculiar looking bottle and opted to purchase it for my abstract culinary purposes. In one more example of human achievement, Heinz has stumbled upon the apex of ketchup bottle evolution. Not only…

    I came across this article today while doing a bit of digging. Its an old Popular Mechanics article detailing the problems of New Orleans should it ever encounter a high category hurricane like Katrina. Basically, they’re screwed. The highest point in the city is 6 feet above sea level. The city is essentially a bowl…

    I went out to pick up a few last minute items yesterday afternoon for my upcoming trip. It was still sunny when I got in my car, but I didn’t even make it to the ATM before it started raining. When I say rain, I really mean torrential downpour.
