Microwave Your Money
The RFID tracking chips that are placed in US currency explode when microwaved?
Having to try this for myself I fired up the trusty microwave oven and roasted some bills. My experiment would be slightly different though, I wanted to see if Canadian money exploded too. It did, kind of, but I believe it had more to do with the foil security feature in Canuck money. Foil + Microwave = Fire.
Amazingly, on only my second attempt I managed to pay for something at a store with my burnt bill!.
Check out the fascinating exploding bill article here and then go microwave your money.

Urban Decay
As I sit here on Valentines Day, alone, sarcastic as ever and listening to a sappy love song on public radio. I cant seem to feel more content than ever, maybe its because I am too busy and so enthralled in exploring the decrepit remnants of society that I dare not care about some manufactured 'day to love' with its hurt feelings and hyper inflated expectations. Just make sure you check out the best urban decay gallery ever. HERE
Cigarettes and Valentines
Strange Old World
Save yourself from all this confusion
Got to be yourself 'cause life is an illusion
That shelters you from reality
Run away 'cause you're standing on a landmine
If I killed myself it wouldn't be the first time
Now I've thrown away the wisdom I don't need
Now I'm here on the brink of sanity
Living in an artificial dream
Mediocrity and lies are by my side
Now I've nowhere to go and my past is lost in time
My life is a bomb and its time is ticking
These wasted years have just left me sitting
And waiting for the world to re-arrange
I lost my feet and fell in a landslide
Landed on the ground and I found a new life
But it went too fast like the life that never came
Now I'm here on the brink of sanity
Living in an artificial dream
Mediocrity and lies are by my side
Now I've nowhere to go and my past is lost in time

Five Star Video
This video brings me back to skateboarding until dawn in a greasy strip-mall parking lot. It was the absolute armpit of suburbian retail. There was a dirty smoke store there that was called Five Star Variety.
