My dog does this exact same thing. Almost like he is chasing something. I did read that dogs dream like we do. My dog is dreaming about bunnies and cats I bet. He hates bunnies and cats.

I want to know what Jason Whitlock and Joe Posnanski think of each other.
Both worked at the same paper for a decade, both were hugely successful, both were completely different people, both wrote completely different types of columns. I have always been interested in knowing more about their professional relationship.

yeah, I would like to invent wireless power things, too. I don't know why people are scared of it. It just uses magnetic fields that are around, anyway. I think. I would like to learn more.

humans and how they interact, personalities, brains work, body functionality, how to make them not age and/or live longer/repair parts that are breaking down, how they make decisions, what factors influence people to become who they are, do people really make choices or are they basically robot computers w/ a bagillion different bits of information entered into them, etc.

And according to WiPower, inductive charging systems work with about 80% to 90% efficiency -- roughly the same as plugging directly into a wall socket. That blows away the industry average for wired chargers, around 40%. So wireless juice is not only less messy, it's less hungry, too.

in your episode you should introduce yourself as steve dave, he will introduce himself as limestone. then debunk bigfoot. then at the end of the episode do the big reveal- you're limestone and he's steve dave. massive debunking of the viewers would occur and i think everyone would be mindfucked.
also a good closing would be - "folks, until next time on The DeBunkers starring steve dave, stay debunked- unless you require steve dave to debunk you. have a good night, or is it really daytime?"
bigtime cliffhanger tbh

nailed it. Maybe start with a podcast.

podcasts are kinda amateur hour (think katkid, chingon, etc) but maybe just to get your feet wet.
also, i'll agree to be your guys producer if that's what you're asking.

When I said podcast I actually meant "big time live internet streaming show with high production value" - that's real debunking.
And we accept. I would like to start by debunking the rumor that an Applebees is going in where Baja used to be.

Basically, I'd like to be able to help invent stuff like you read about in MIT Technology review:

Thanks, I'll listen off the air.

Anymore no. Most researchers these days that do cool stuff like that have their masters, if not more. A lot of those teams consist of grad students that will do research for the lead scientists. Also undergrad teaches too many basic principles to be able to apply to specific technologies.
Most of the research assistants at K-State are grad students. They get credit hours for doing research. There are some undergrad students that do research, but at a completely different level of coolness.

You will need to get a masters degree in a specialized engineering curriculum (Electrical, Computer, etc) and then you will be hired as a research assistant based upon your expertise. Some research spots may not be as technically specific and will just require a masters degree in Electrical and/or Computer Engineering, and others will be very specific like (Master in Electrical Engineering with a concentration in controls, acoustics, radio waves, etc...)
But yea you can't really get a general master in Engineering and expect to get on a cool team like that. You need to know your cac.
Example: K-State Electrical Engineering Professor designed some components that went on the Mars Rover. He didn't design the entire thing, but he designed parts of it.

OK, as some of you know the goEMAW Think Tank had our first meeting this weekend. This is what we came up with (this is our working model and there will be some changes to the finished product):
(https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcraphound.com%2Fimages%2F3rd_Gen_LFC.jpg&hash=dcfc96ad492184b6037d4444bf7f2f4fb3a2970a)
It's a "Leveraged Freedom Chair" which is our take on the sustainable wheelchair for use by disabled people in the develpoing world. The final product can be sold for $100 -- a 90 percent reduction off traditional wheelchairs -- and uses a lever-driven propulsion system that works better over rough terrain. It uses bicycle parts to keep costs down and simplify maintenance.
Next week, hover cars

Guys I want to invent an electric mini van. You know where the seats fold down into the floor in minivans? I thought of building a contraption that mounted in that space and had peddles to charge batteries that would be stored in the back. Also a solar panel on the roof would supplement the charging power. This would also be good for keeping our kids in good shape and not being lazy fat asses.
What's that junior you want to watch a DVD on our way to grandmas? I guess you will have to peddle extra hard because we only have enough juice to get to the corner 1/2 mile from her drive way. Start peddling!
