Tanya Vlach is looking to turn a horrible accident into a unique documentary opportunity.  Vlach, an artist from San Francisco, lost an eye in a car wreck.  Instead of a standard glass eye or a killer pirate eye patch, she’s looking to spice things up and get herself a webcam-capable eyeball.

She’s got a whole list of great ideas for her eye:  Bluetooth capability, 3x optical zoom, a SD memory slot, and the ability to take still photos and videos.  She’d like to film a Tanya-eye-view documentary of her life.  I’ll be honest, if she gets this cyborg eye built in, and I lost an eye, I’d be next in line for this installation project, so long as they didn’t make it a tattooed eye.

I don’t know how often I’ve seen something and wished I had a camera with me so I could take a picture of it.  It seems like every week I pass a car wreck or crazy sign or something that screams, “Hey, take a picture of this!”  It’s hard to get the phone out and get the snap done while driving, though, so in a situation like that a camera eye would come in really handy.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
