The Amazing World of Cuddly really is amazing.
He even has his very own blog to prove it.
Read The Amazing World of Cuddly.
Or don’t.
Your choice.
But you’ve got to admit he’s cute.
Nice ass, too.

Octacube: Shadow of the Fourth Dimension
Thus spake Evil Overloadat 7:41 am
This object is apparently a sculpture of the three-dimensional shadow that a fourth-dimentional solid object would cast. Kind of like if a very flat person came along and painted your shadow as it fell on the wall. It doesn’t look much like anything I would consider a shadow, but that raises the question, what would a two-dimensional person see if they looked at a shadow head-on? Oww, my head. Anyway, very pretty to look at. Link

Remote Control Humans
Thus spake Evil Overloadat 5:37 am
Damn those crazy Japanese. Their devious manipulations will destroy us all:
“I felt a mysterious, irresistible urge to start walking to the right whenever the researcher turned the switch to the right. I was convinced — mistakenly — that this was the only way to maintain my balance.The phenomenon is painless but dramatic. Your feet start to move before you know it. I could even remote-control myself by taking the switch into my own hands.”
Yep, remote control of humans. Apparently, a special headset delivers electric impulses to the inner ear, giving you the impression of being off balance, which forces you to instinctively move to correct for this. Apparently, defense contractors in Texas are already investigating whether this effect can be delivered at a distance. On the plus side, researchers plan to test whether this device can be used to teach skills that require motion and coordination, but I think they’re just in denial about the coming robo-zombie apocalypse. Happy Wednesday! Link

Quantum Indirect Lighting
Thus spake Evil OverloadOctober 25, 2005 at 7:24 am
Scientists have recently discovered, completely by accident, a new lighting technology that may one day render light bulbs obsolete. Quantum dots, extremely small crystalline semiconductors in a protein coating, can be made to emit various colors of light when activated. Being nanoscale, made up of 33 to 34 atoms, they can be applied to the surface of any object to render it a light source. So, in the future, traditional light fixtures may be replaced by, well, everything else. Tables, chairs, walls, pets, people…Link
Nazi Olsen Twins
Thus spake Evil OverloadOctober 24, 2005 at 12:21 pm
“Thirteen-year-old twins Lamb and Lynx Gaede have one album out, another on the way, a music video, and lots of fans.
They may remind you another famous pair of singers, the Olsen Twins, and the girls say they like that. But unlike the Olsens, who built a media empire on their fun-loving, squeaky-clean image, Lamb and Lynx are cultivating a much darker personna. They are white nationalists and use their talents to preach a message of hate.”
Yeesh. Link

“BOO! This fall’s sweetest – and scariest – benefit song is DO THEY KNOW IT’S HALLOWE’EN. This single features a star-studded ensemble (Beck, Sum 41, The Arcade Fire) known as the NORTH AMERICAN HALLOWEEN PREVENTION INITIATIVE. Both a trick and a treat, this song is a satire - as well as a charity-benefit song with all proceeds being donated to UNICEF.”

"Strongest Hurricane Ever Recorded"
Thus spake Evil OverloadOctober 19, 2005 at 1:42 pm
“Hurricane Wilma, which has swelled into a dangerous Category Five storm, is the strongest hurricane ever recorded, the US National Hurricane Center says.It says the storm’s barometric pressure - a measure of its strength - was the lowest on record in the Atlantic basin.
Its winds of near 165mph (270km/h) and heavy rains are threatening Cuba, Mexico and the Cayman Islands. “
Wow and goddamn. Link
Proponent of Intelligent Design says Astrology is scientific theory!

Under cross examination, ID proponent Michael Behe, a biochemist at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, admitted his definition of “theory” was so broad it would also include astrology.

According to the EFF, the deal was struck between the printer manufacturers and the US Secret Service as an anti-counterfeit measure.
“We’ve found that the dots from at least one line of printers encode the date and time your document was printed, as well as the serial number of the printer,” said EFF staff technologist Seth David Schoen.

Make Up Your Goddamn Minds
Thus spake Evil Overloadat 10:47 am
Wind power is abundant, free, and non-polluting, but several groups are trying to shut down various wind power sites, for reasons ranging from birds getting killed, to concern over declining property values (!!!WTF!!!). All right, the bird thing I can see, and wind power sites should at least look into caging the windmills to cut down on unnecessary bird deaths. But the kind of people who legislate against alternative engergy possibilities because it interferes with their high-priced oceanfront view should be strapped to treadmills to make up the difference. Anyway, here’s the article.
