Rising sealevels has been a concern for several years now and its interesting to see the types of solutions that have been rolling out from researchers, architects, and inventors.

It's Friday. It's been a long, challenging week, and it's just about time to look forward to winding down and relaxing. Getting silly, even. I'm a pretty silly person at heart; possibly the by-product of being raised, largely, on insane English TV shows like The Goodies, Danger Mouse, and Bananaman. And Reggie Watts, in all...

Red Bull easily has the most extreme and daring marketing ploys out there. It is truly amazing to see how far they have come and the caliber of ideas/individuals/celebrities they are working with.
