A few examples from our everyday lives tells us why exactly “men are from Mars, and women from Venus”. If you and your “better half” plan to spend the rest of your lives (read: until divorce) together there are some facts that you should be aware of. And here they are:

Nicknames

When a woman names all her friends, she uses regular names such as: Lucy, Wendy, Jane, Kate… Man’s friends are called: Fatty, Speedy, Whitey, The Dog…

Payment

When the time comes to pay the bill in the restaurant, guys will automatically throw a $200 on the table, although the actual amount of the bill is three to four times smaller. They all want their change back, but will never admit it. Women, on the other hand, will take out a calculator and calculate the exact change in order to avoid potential problems.

Bathroom

A man has only five items: toothbrush, shower gel, shaving machine (or a razor), soap, and a towel from the hotel he stayed in last summer. A woman has more than hundred items, of which half are totally unknown to the man, such as a peeling crème, revitalizing crème, night crème, daily crème…

Food

As soon as one of the grocery items is missing, a woman will immediately go to the store. Men go to the store only when there are no more eatable items left in the fridge, which are usually an old ketchup bottle and a stinky piece of cheese.

Shoes

A man wears only one pair of shoes all day long. A woman wears sports shoes in the morning. In her office, she pulls out high-heel shoes but takes them off as soon as she sits down, because it is “very painful being in them”.

Dressing up

A woman will dress nicely for every occasion, for grocery shopping, taking out the trash and even for watering the flowers on the balcony. A man will dress nicely only two times a year: family wedding, funeral.

Cats

Women LOVE cats. They absolutely adore them. Men only say that they love them, but they are really torturing them in different ways as soon as the woman is not watching.

Washing clothes

Every few days, a woman will wash some clothes. She will always find something dirty. A man will wash his clothes only after he had worn every single clean piece, including the jeans from high school.

Children

A true mother remembers the first burp, first words, first eaten apple, first tied shoelace… A father only knows that there are some creatures walking and crawling around the house that call him “dad”.

What? You think this is a bunch of bulls***? Maybe so, but when you think about it, you will notice that at least half of it is true

Any laboratory that has some self-esteem should have a mad scientist so, after we found some self-esteem (it was thrown away in a drawer), we hired a mad scientist to help us in our experiments. You can see him if you look in the header…in fact, you can’t miss him! His name is Maddy McBlast. Isn’t he cute? I especially like his beautiful smile. It’s so full of goodness and trust

After we exchanged a few words with Maddy, he already had a couple of ideas to experiment with and mentioned that he was working on a cheap solution to turn your classic (wired) keyboard and mouse into wireless versions. You can bet that we will write a post about it as soon as Maddy gives us a green light. Unfortunately, as genious as he is, he is also very shy when it comes to sharing ideas. Somehow, he doesn’t like talking much. Maybe he is afraid that someone else will steal his ideas. However, we pursuaded Maddy to tell us something about his recent project called the “Ultimate Reset Button”. He didn’t say much, but he said that it will be amazing and unique, something that the world has never seen before! All we can do is wait and let Maddy McBlast do his work.

You can find our more about mad scientists on Wikipedia (which is exactly where we found this one). Mad scientist image is the work of J.J. McCullough and we, phoenixx and arcom, are eternally grateful for his amazing drawing! Thank you J.J.!

We will now let Maddy work in peace.

UPDATE: Work on the Wireless Desktop is finished!

If you ask any successful blogger a thing or two about the RSS feed icon (button), he or she will probably tell you that your RSS button must be easily visible so that the readers can find it in no time. Some of those bloggers even had a contest whose button is bigger, better and meaner (John, you are so childish ).

We, on the other hand, never really liked our RSS button so we decided, since we don’t have to play nice anymore, to simply shoot it! Phoenixx did the shooting stuff so, if you want to know the technical side to it, ask him. He will be more than happy to shoot some more buttons. However, since some say that you absolutely must have an RSS button (or else you will suffer serious nightmares), I made an itsy bitsy tiny one. Can you see it? No? Of course not! It wouldn’t be the smallest one if you could easily see it, right? But wait, we will tell you where it is!

See? Take a closer look:

Oh, come on! Can you see it now? No, the big button is the now dead one, just ignore it. Look for a smaller one:

What about now? If you’re not blind you should see it:

Oh, so you’re not blind…you just don’t see anything?

Zoom at 10000% (no, it’s not a typo):

Look at how comfortable the button is!

And they say that you can’t draw anything less than 1×1px in size…buahahaha! There you have it, the world’s smallest RSS button! I think that we deserve a reward for inventing it. Do you know how hard it is to create something tiny? Definitely harder than creating something big!

Oh, and one more thing. It would be fair to tell you that the button has a mind of its own (due to some unexplainable glitch in the process of creation) and that it doesn’t like photographers for some reason so you probably won’t be able to take a photo of it. Don’t say we didn’t warn you…
