End Of The World LHC-Style!

Will the Large Hadron Collider scheduled to go online at CERN Wednesday bring about the END OF THE WORLD by sucking us into a man-made BLACK HOLE??? No. No, it won't. Probably. In any case, I chatted with the very brainy Alexis Madrigal, who in addition to being a staff science writer for wired.com is also a really nice guy.

Science!

Chrome Chat With Ryan Block

If you've ever heard of Engadget (I'm being sarcastic -- there should be an attribute for that: reverse italics?), then you have Ryan Block to thank. It was really cool to get the opportunity to chat with the mega-blogger about Google's new Chrome browser which I would play around with more if it gave Mac the time of day. Until that time, I'm content combing the farthest reaches of the digi-verse with the Flaming Fox.

I Put A Big Tarantula On Layla Kayleigh

Why bother with cryptic post titles? This title delivers EXACTLY what it offers! Suck on that, cleverness!

A lot of people asked if her freaking out was "for pretend." It wasn't.

REVIEW: Samsung Series 8 46" LCD

What Will Apple Announce Next Week?

Yeah, I don't know either. But I can speculate like nobody's business! And doing that with me is Forbes.com's David Ewalt, here on The Loop:

REVIEW: LG Dare

I actually had received many emails (well, two) about when I was going to review the LG Dare on G4 and I am proud to say to those two young gentlemen who didn't understand the difference between "you're" and "your," YOUR day is here because YOU'RE about to witness the review! I know, I know, we compare every phone to the iPhone because comparing every phone to a ferret would just be weird.

Break Moments In De-Evolution 9.2.08

Why oh why do people do the things they do on camera??? Oh, right. The Internet.

What's Up With Japan? 9.2.08

Air freshener snow? Naked Sushi? Cicada shells? What's happening over there, Japan??? Besides awesomeness, of course...

I'm Hosting "Attack of the Show" For Two Whole Weeks

Kevin and Olivia have been ordered to go to Japan and navigate its poisonous blowfish, unorthodox address system and Ninja Warrior course. In their stead I shall be co-hosting for two whole weeks. Joining me will be a mash-up of Alison Haislip and Layla Kayleigh. Which days will Alison be on? Which days might Layla pop up? These are questions which have the kinds of answers that your TV box can provide via your eyes and ears.

Why, look at that picture to the right...the strategically disheveled hair, #d83f20-colored shirt, the glazed-over eyes that are a window into a world where robots frolic with dinosaurs---THAT is a man who knows how to fill-in host a geek-themed pop culture show! If you disagree, you are invited to go STRAIGHT TO HELL for fourteen days until your precious regular hosts return!!!

My residency begins today, the Second of September. With your help, I can ruin that show to the point that Kev-Livia doesn't even recognize it when he/she gets back. I thank you.

*Attack of the Show airs every weeknight LIVE at 4 PST/7 EST on G4.
