Technosexuals

Welcome to a unique community based on a new term called the “Technosexual” . This person is defined as one who is into technology gadgets. Computers and other electronic devices are used by him(or her) increasingly. Its a love for expensive toys, and to be a trendsetter in the tech community. We also have a tell a friend about technosexuals so you can let them know about what’s going on here.

What type of people are these you ask? Webmaster’s, software engineers and SEO (search engine optimization) are the folks that make up the technosexual persuasion.

Its a lifestyle of buying hard to find gismos, the latest mp3 players or high-end digital cameras, tiny cell phones…its the kind of thing that keeps changing. You wants and needs change over time to always have the latest and greatest stuff. Materialistic…you bet, but most are savvy enough to want to help others out…hence were we come in.

We are here to show you the latest (and sometimes most expensive) tech toys out there to buy. Plus, talk about some science jokes and other stuff to get this site lifted off.

Thanks for coming to the site, signup for our technosexual free newsletter or if your really not too into the whole concept then no problem.

Engineerin’ Department of our company is on 3rd floor; company’s main power XFMR is on utility pole right outside window. This mornin’, Scott, engineer (ME) whose desk is next to window asked, “Hey, Bill, how much power is that transformer carryin’?”

Thought it over, answered, “Ah, with a full shift in the machine shop, should be about 200, 300 kW. Why?”

“Hmmmm. So, how strong are the electromagnetic fields from that?”

“Not very. Transformer designers go to fair pains to keep fields inside transformers!”

“Oh. Well, what about those high tension wires? What if one broke? Would that be dangerous? Or, couldn’t the transformer just explode?”

“Well, yeah, I guess. Transformers do fail, once in a while. And the high voltage lines are probably up around 4400 volts, IIRC.” Was gettin’ a little irritated at this point, so added, “Guess if the transformer blew, or, if one of those lines broke and smashed through the window, coroner’s report on you would read ‘burned beyond recognition,’ or maybe, ‘grilled like a chop!’ So what does this have to do with anything?”

Scott shook his head. “I dunno, boss. I’m not real comfortable sittin’ that close to machine carryin’ that kind of power. There’s an empty desk by the back wall. Mind if I move?”

Rolled my eyes, said, “Sure, go ahead!”

Just about time Scott had his CAD terminal moved, plugged into LAN drop next to back wall, one of the other guys pointed out window, “Hey, check out the transformer!” Damned thing had blue sparks, smoke, comin’ out of one of the porcelain terminals. Consolidated Edison was out in about an hour with 3 trucks, overhaulin’ transformer.

Dunno what to make of this, but, do know one thing; if we’re ever standin’ on sidewalk, and Scott sez, “Gee, could we stand a little further from curb?” I won’t ask why; I’ll just do it!

Here is one that hasn’t been posted to sci.electronics.repair yet:

Subject: Flux Capacitor broken

Greetings:

We found what appears to be a Flux Capacitor that fell out of an alien spaceship in their haste to depart after being approached by BIG BIRD.

The plutonium supply seems to be adequate but plugging the 3 wire cord into 115 VAC doesn’t produce any response. However, probing the logic circuits with our HP 16500 analyzer indicates that the P9-1000 they are apparently using to control the display is functional. (It also passes the FDIV bug test - must not be genuine Intel.)

Upon further examination, we note the device marked @@#$%-@#%@$#-11 appears to be burnt. Would like to know of source for this device or equivalent. It seems to be in-line with the main power relay.

We would really like to get our infinite energy/time machine going but are hesitant to jump across this device if it is not just a fuse or if there are further problems. A black hole in the middle of our back yard would be really bad for property values.

Thanks in advance for any assistance…..:-)

The First Law of Thermodynamics: “You can’t get something for nothing”

The Second Law of Thermodynamics: “As a matter of fact, you can’t even break even.”

Newton’s first Law of Motion: “If you kick a can, it will move.”

Newton’s Second Law of Motion: “If you kick it harder, it will move faster.”

Perhaps others know of similar restatements of other important Laws?

The best summary of the first and second laws of thermodynamics I have seen (in 3 statments):

You can’t win.
You can’t break even.
You can’t quit the game.

But surely simple things grow more complex as the cosmos implodes in retrograde time toward the initial collapse of the singularity? Er, or is it that complex things break down to constituent particles as the cosmos eXplodes along linear time lines towards chaos (i.e., entropy). Wait. Where is my local closed system where heat/energy/complexity can make a muddle of the metaverse’s puddle? Oh –i know, I will just sink into the quandary of the 19th century, where the only part of probability that was important was babil (babbel) and …oh, dear, where IS lewis carrol when he’s needed?:
