Our government has a National Do Not Call Registry which is supposed to limit the amout of telephone solicitations you received. But there seems to be something amiss.

Can anybody say fantasy? This Marvel looking exoskeleton is actually real. The prototype 'mecha-exosuit' called the NK-01 is a nod to the Robert Downey Jr Iron Man movies as it's been put together by a team who obviously love comic books and cartoons.

It was in the afternoon around 1p and the …
It's Saturday morning and I woke up with a smile and a warm feeling. No I was not in the shower, nor was it from the sun streaming in the windows, I was just walking down the stairs to write my blog. I realized that my feeling was a result of having all my children in my house at the same time. It might seem funny to some, but being under one roo …
It's Saturday...and anything goes.
