Useless Superpowers

SUPERUSELESS SUPERPOWER: Lati-dude & Longi-dude.
Ever
wish you could conjure up a duplicate of yourself? This power is
exactly that. Only your doppeluseless appears at the opposite point of
the earth. Bad if you need backup in a dark alley…great if you’re
organizing the American comeback tour for “Men at Work.”

My Chili factory



My chili windowsill at work.


The one in the middle here has been fruiting constantly for about 2 years now. I only just harvested 20 or so chilies from it 2 days ago.


The one on the left is a naga and not to sure what the others are. I just planted a seed.


These are two more nagas with leaves as big as my hand. These ones have about 10 flowers between them at the moment but don't seem to be producing enough pollen for me to pollinate.

"The "holographic principle" challenges our sensibilities. It seems hard
to believe that you woke up, brushed your teeth and are reading this
article because of something happening on the boundary of the universe.
No one knows what it would mean for us if we really do live in a
hologram, yet theorists have good reasons to believe that many aspects
of the holographic principle are true.

DIY Cat5 Speaker Cables



"This all started back in 1995 when I read a letter published in SpeakerBuilder extolling the virtues of using Cat5 network as high-end speaker cable. I bought a 1000 ft. spool and spent over 1 year tinkering around with different configurations to best optimize the use of this cable for high-end audio. After countless hours (and many blisters on my fingers), this construction was found to be the most ideal. In direct side-by-side comparisons I found this cable to be sonically better than Audioquest Midnight, Straightwire Maestros, and even equal to or better in some areas than the Kimber 8TC in mysystem."
