Why Inventors are Awesome....

by John P. Barker

I think we all know that inventors are awesome. Even when their inventions don't work, they still show an incredible amount of creativity that many people don't possess. I'm one of those people that can't think that far out of the box to create something (other than art and fiction, that is). This video is a salute to inventors--and it's pretty funny as well.

Some artists use paint, while others choose charcoal. Some paintings take years, and others take hours. Some hang on gallery walls, while others simply lie forgotten on easels.

Unfortunately, the long wait times can drasticaly reduce the enjoyment that visitors take from the day.

Some travel agencies are getting fancy and are taking measures to skirt the system so that their clients do not have to wait in such long lineups.

by Nicholas.Greene

Game development's big business these days, but what a lot of developers - and gamers- seem to have forgotten is that you don't need top-tier development tools to create a great game. Sometimes, all you need is an idea and a bit of knowledge: that's all it took for Cary Walkin, who created a whole RPG using nothing but Microsoft Excel.
