  We Interrupt (Blank) For An Important Announcement

  

  Today, The Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Communications Commission held the first nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System. The test happened at 2 p.m. ET and included all broadcast television, radio stations and cable and satellite television systems in the U.S. and U.S. territories. Officials say the system could be used to [...]

  Cars That Know When Your’re Drowsy

  

  This resonated with me because I had an experience on Los Angeles freeways last week that made me glad the traffic was just crawling along at walking speed. I had a big day filled with chores and I guess I didn’t realize how tired I was until I got into my cross town commute, my [...]

  Party Away The Apocolypse With Porn Stars

  

  I came across an article with a headline that made me do a double take: “Porn company builds porn bunker to ride out forecasted apocalypse” OOOOOK. Turns out the folks at Pink Visual are 2012′ers and are doing something about it. That’s what people who embrace the  the Guarding™ wave do… they act. “Our goal [...]

  Smoke Detectors Can Be Cute Too

  

  You know, a lot of evidence in the Guarding™ wave tends to be quite serious.  The Human Truth™ is:  “If something is after me, I’ll be ready for it.”™ It’s not usually the place to find quirky or cute designs.  That’s why I like this Smoke Detector Chick-a-Dee. “Chick-a-Dee is unique because it combines lifesaving [...]

  That’s What Friends Are For

  

  With the spate of natural disasters over the last few years, it’s no surprise that there is a rise in articles about survivalism.  I’m seeing more and more “how-to” blogs about stockpiling and bunkers and disaster plans.  Even Costco is now selling years worth of bulk-powdered food to people that feel the need to guard [...]

  Smart Kid Creates “Smart Bell”

  

  What were you doing at 13 years of age?  I’m pretty sure inventing an awesome alarm system and making a small fortune is not the average answer. Laurence Rook must not be your average teenager. The seeds of his idea were planted when his mother was frustrated at having to go to the post office [...]

  The Museum of Disgraced Monuments

  

  We all have to come to terms with history sooner or later, what cannot be coped with has been burned, beheaded and destroyed over time, but monuments remain. Some buried, some hidden, and some vandalized. But for the first time, they’re all coming together as a display that’s not based on pride, but on shame.

  The Date Rape Prevention Coaster

  

  A company called Drink Safe Texas has produced some clever products that guard against drink tampering. Now something as ubiquitous as a drink coaster can prevent date rape. Several Texan bars are using them to test for substances such as GHB and ketamine- two popular “date-rape” drugs.
