MUSIC: Crazy Dubstep Dancing

Dubstep is a unique genre of music, it has synthesized deep beats that can make it hard to dance to sometimes. 

However, in a post from Geeks are Sexy, this guy gives it a try to Adele's Set Fire to the Rain Dubstep remix and does quite well, even though its snowing on and off throughout the video!

SPACE: Mining For Metal In Asteroids

In an article from BBC News, two firms are preparing to mine near earth asteroids by 2016. 

David Gump, one of the firms chief executive, said, ""More than 900 new asteroids that pass near Earth are discovered every year. They can be like the Iron Range of Minnesota was for the Detroit car industry last century – a key resource located near where it was needed. In this case, metals and fuel from asteroids can expand the in-space industries of this century,"

TECHNOLOGY: Do Biohackers Exist? FBI Thinks So...

As technology begins to flourish and we begin to learn more and more about science, nature, and ourselves, we have to remember that not all discoveries are found in a University funded lab. 

Are there evil super genesises like Ivan Vanko from Ironman 2? Could there be makeshift labs in someones basement? 

Well the FBI seems to think so. In an article form BBC News, "No one is more acutely aware of this than the FBI. To counter the threat posed by weapons of mass destruction (WMD), the US intelligence agency established the WMD Directorate in 2006, aimed at dealing with “incidents involving nuclear, radiological, biological, or chemical weapons”

COMEDY: Grandparents and Technology...

These never get old (no pun intended)...

Have you ever taken the time to think about what the past was like 80 years ago? There was hardly any TV, no internet, and radio was the dominant medium. 

So, imagine if you could travel back through time (at 88 mph) and give them a chance to see our glorious procrastinating technology. 

Well I guess it would look like this...
