That's right kids so hold onto your seats, strap yourself in the above carseat and peruse this selection of articles that I've comes across and want to pass onto anybody who will listen. We've got a variety this week-- some random lists off buzzfeed.com, some cool science articles from PopularScience, A Key & Peele sketch (I love these guys) , plus more!

$150...a little pricey but we're onto something here: Portable hydrogen-cell charger

I was doing my usual stumbling when I came across this bad boy from the lovely folks at POPULARSCIENCE (you know....that one place where I constantly cite articles and other peculiar things....)

It's the Brunton Hydrogen Reactor (which i'm sure doesn't live up to the name, but owning a hydrogen reacto..ANDDD it's portable.... double bonus)

"A single Hydrogen Reactor cartridge carries a week’s worth of smartphone power—more juice than any other portable source. When a user inserts one of the 3-inch cartridges into the Reactor, a catalyst frees electrons from hydrogen. The freed electrons move into a circuit that delivers power to gadgets over USB. The remaining hydrogen reacts with oxygen to produce the process’s only byproduct: water vapor."

------S*T*A*T*S------

Output: 2 amps

Cartridge capacity: 8,500 mAh 

I swear I'm not doing a product plug.... I just find this nifty. As time progresses this will only get cheaper and more refined. HUZZAH!

ME

F$*k you Frodo I got my own Elf-Cloak: Instructions to 3D print an invis cloak

Now I'm sure this is just like any 'as seen on TV' product and it doesn't work nearly as good as advertised or initially assume (they things NEVER ARE!!) but either way this would be a good learning experience. 

Well Provided You could actually afford to buy, rent, or use a 3d printer this would be something awesome to test out. Me personally, I think I'd start with the 3d printed guns then move onto 3d printed organs....you know the interesting (albeit EXTREMELY CONTROVERSIAL) subjects.

Another day another Chart-from-1944-that-illustrates-EVERYTHING-about-electromagnetic-Radiation (I know...a dime a dozen, right?)

So I just stumbled across this beautifully illustrated picture designed by the W.M. Welch Scientific Company (in 1944) that shows ALL (well at least as far as 1944 is concerned) characteristics for.... you guessed it: Electromagnetic Radiation. That's right kids! all you need to know in one simple,convenient and easily accessible place..... here (well HERE if you want a much larger version)

I read an interesting thing about coffee today, and again......it was brought to you by POPULARSCIENCE's website (source article: HERE) and it mentions BENEFITS of coffee

So before you throw this out the window consider this:

1. Coffee Can Make You Smarter

Coffee doesn’t just keep you awake, it may literally make you smarter as well.

The active ingredient in coffee is caffeine, which is a stimulant and the most commonly consumed psychoactive substance in the world.

Caffeine’s primary mechanism in the brain is blocking the effects of an inhibitory neurotransmitter called Adenosine.

By blocking the inhibitory effects of Adenosine, caffeine actually increases neuronal firing in the brain and the release of other neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine (1, 2).

Many controlled trials have examined the effects of caffeine on the brain, demonstrating that caffeine can improve mood, reaction time, memory, vigilance and general cognitive function (3).

Bottom Line: Caffeine potently blocks an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain, leading to a net stimulant effect. Controlled trials show that caffeine improves both mood and brain function.
