WTF Congress

By Chris Baily

I’m really fucking tired of Congressmen talking shit about Obama because he hasn’t changed the culture of Washington. GUESS WHAT GUYS! YOU ARE THE CULTURE OF WASHINGTON! Do you come into my house, smash my windows, and then complain about the cold!? Get the fuck outta here. Of course the culture of Washington is fucked. We’ve got a bunch of hypocritical motherfuckers who complain about the paralyzed state of our system while they shove crowbars into the gears. There is a simple question: what the fuck are you doing about it? How are you going to help me, your employer, make this system work better!? Or are you going to cry and whine like a little fucking school boy and argue about who started it?

New York State Politics. WTF!?

By Chris Baily

Pedro Espada.  Ugghh.  It makes you tired just thinking about it. Really?  A democratic senator switched parties, ran the entire fucking capitol into the ground, froze any kind of legislative action at all… for months… and now he’s under ethics investigations?   For what looks like shady maybe kind of illegal but probably very illegal embezzling… or skimming… Read More

MakerBot: 3-D Printing Made…Cheap!

By Mike Wroblewski

Printing is bound to be a thing of the past…..

…or is it?

What normal person can’t see the limitations of two-dimensional printing? I know that delicious apple can look really tantalizing flattened on glossy paper after being spray tanned with colorful life. Or maybe that tunnel shot you printed with a little help from some atomic match… Read More

My final project in high school computer class was programming the Death Star Trench Run in BASIC.  Still, I’ve got nothing on these New Zealanders.

Nice to finally round out my Top Three… Read More

If you think about it, just about all creative output is based… Read More
