If you are a senseless douchebag having no love or sympathy to the kids, checkout this “I AM BETTER than your kids” website.

Maddox is behind this senseless commentary, demeaning and scorning child’s art work by grading it from A to F — is this your type of thing? I’ve only found F pieces so far.

Backstory:

I was standing around in a co-worker’s cubicle at my old job one day, and noticed that she had poorly drawn pictures hanging in her cubicle. So I told her they sucked. She took offense and brought to my attention that it was drawn by her 4-year-old nephew. It changed nothing. In fact, it only strengthened my resolve to grade children’s artwork, because I don’t think kids should get a free pass for being kids. Coddling children ruins them. Mozart wasn’t coddled, and look at him: dead and famous. Most people will only ever accomplish being dead in life. Mozart accomplished two things.

BBC News:

A prototype solar device has been unveiled which mimics plant life, turning the Sun’s energy into fuel.

The machine uses the Sun’s rays and a metal oxide called ceria to break down carbon dioxide or water into fuels which can be stored and transported.

The ‘fuel’ for this machine is just like plant’s — water and carbon dioxide, and it will produce a byproduct of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. Produces of this machines can be easily used as fuel. Hydrogen will be utilized in hydrogen fuel cells and
a combinatino of carbon monoxide and hydrogen can produce syngas.

The prototype is extremely inefficient, utilizing only 0.7% of the solar energy, but this US-Swiss invention can finally allow us to harness single most simple element of all — hydrogen. This could be a solution to our long addiction to oil.

The reason for the emergence of new electricity generation technologies is due to Peak Oil. It is believed that we have tapped almost all oil reserves. Once we hit the 0 mark on our oil supply, life will be quite different. How would we operate our cars? How would we get to work? How would we transport products? These kinds of questions need answers, and the answer is investment in alternatives such as this.

Wait and see. Your presents might be just waiting for you.

Streetline in San Francisco has developed a wireless parking sensor technology that will assist you with open parking spots over your smartphone.

You have your phone and you arrive to the spot. What do you do when you can’t find parking? Your smartphone will tell you where there is an open parking space. Eventually, I see these units installed all over the city, where there is parking, and communicate the information to Google.

Perhaps it is only time for these cute boxes to be installed all over NYC, unless Bruce McCall’s idea becomes real!

Unfortunately these devices do not forward the Wifi connection — imagine if they did. Then you would have wireless wherever there is parking: sidewalks. If the city is already installing these devices, how hard would it be to actually implement Wifi forwarding? They don’t have to be that powerful, but at least people will have Wifi at parking spots.
