Disco Table: Psychedelic Dining at Its Finest

Leave a comment

led dining table

Last Spring, Geoffrey and I had a blast visiting the Guggenheim museum to see their pop art exhibit. In one of the lower level galleries they had installed a multicolored, LED disco floor that we particularly enjoyed, as it quickly induced fun hallucinations and flashbacks just by looking at it. Good times. You can probably imagine then how much joy I experienced when I found this rad L.E.D. Dining Table on Evil Mad Scientist Dot Com.

Here is the story from the site:

“This is our dining table. We built it because we needed a new dining table, and I guess we’re just that kind of people. It has a frosted glass top lit by 448 multicolored LEDs that respond, in a complex and gentle fashion, to input generated by motion above the table while we eat.” How awesome is that? Detailed instructions on how to make your own version of the table can be found HERE. Bon appetite!

Another Cautionary Tale About John McCain

I received this essay by email last night and, being the responsible blogger that I am, did a little Googling on its likely veracity before posting. While here is no way to really know if this is true or not, it fits a familiar pattern we’ve been hearing about for some time about John McCain’s temper and his attitude towards women. This was originally written by Ana Dubey and later made public by Mary-Kay Gamel, who is often erroneously identified as the author.

My Holiday With John McCain

 

It was just before John McCain’s last run at the presidential nomination in 2000 that my husband and I vacationed in Turtle Island in Fiji with John McCain, Cindy, and their children, including Bridget (their adopted Bangladeshi child).  It was not our intention, but it was our misfortune, to be in close quarters with John McCain for almost a week, since Turtle Island has a small number of bungalows and their focus on communal meals force all vacationers who are there at the same time to get to know each other intimately.

Oh My God, She Said “Nucular”

Leave a comment

Sarah Palin is retarded. She said “Nucular” – instead of the correct word, “Nuclear” –twice in last night’s VP debate with the awesome Joe Biden. Sadly, we all know who else says “Nucular,” and god knows he can barely talk his way out of a paper bag. Maybe the Republicans are trying to start a trend where, if the word is mispronounced enough times by people in the spotlight, that incorrect pronunciation is adopted by society and therefore becomes accepted as correct? Jesus god help us. Anyway, here’s my favorite, humorous editorial about last night’s debate and what a gross douche Palin is, from The Huffington Post: Michael Seitzman: Sarah Palin Naked.
