RetrophischRonald Reagan Riding a Velociraptor by *SharpWriter on deviantART
The Velociraptor is carrying an American flag. And Reagan is firing an automatic weapon.
Because: America!
There are some little touches in this that make it even more awesome than the big premise Tom notes.
“I’m fixing our food!”
After having lunch at a hibachi place with Mom, at dinner Samuel decided he wanted to take after the hibachi chef.
Hey look, even the Dark Knight needs a POANG and a BESTA or two. The Bat Cave doesn’t furnish itself, you know.
WTHR is a pretty nice simple weather app for iPhone that was inspired by Dieter Rams 10 Principles of Good Design.
I’ve been using WTHR, and have it on my home screen. I keep the Weather Channel app on my iPhone, too, but it’s on another screen, and only used now for more in-depth weather research. If I just want to know how scorching it is outside here in Texas, WTHR tells me, and does so beautifully.
The BioLite Camp Stove looks really neat. It is a portable, packable, high-effeciency, camp stove that generates electricity from the heat to also charge your gadgets:
Our stoves cook your meals with nothing but the twigs you collect on your journey, eliminating the need for heavy, expensive, polluting petroleum gas. Quick to light, fast to boil and easy to use. By converting heat from the fire into usable electricity, our stoves will recharge your phones, lights and other gadgets while you cook dinner. Unlike solar, BioLite CampStove is a true on-demand source.
Brilliant! Seriously, for anyone who enjoys the outdoors this seems like a no brainer.
If only I camped more than twice a year. At a place which didn’t have readily available electrical sockets.
My wife won a blog contest for a free family portrait session a couple of months ago, so toward the end of May we set off for Stone Creek Park, in Flower Mound, Texas.
I have the best friends. Thanks again, @crridenour! (Taken with Instagram)
LSUverse: The Origin of LSU’s Mascot
Way back in the fall of 1896, coach A.W. Jeardeau’s LSU football team posted a perfect 6-0 record, and it was in that pigskin campaign that LSU first adopted its nickname, Tigers.
“Tigers” seemed a logical choice since most collegiate teams in that year bore the names of ferocious animals,…
Laws that forbid the carrying of arms … disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes… Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.
