Droning It In

Ever wish that a fully decorated cake would just fall into your lap? Well now, thanks to unmanned drone technology, IT CAN.

That's right, a bakery in Shanghai, China recently began using drones to deliver their cakes. DRONES, you guys. Flying drones.

This may be the most brilliant creation ever invented, my friends. In fact, I'm suddenly feeling a lot less bitter about my lack of hoverboards and self-lacing sneakers. Flying robots delivering cake? Never mind, future: I'M GOOD.

Plus, drone-dropped cakes are great for so many occasions! You know, like:

Mother's Day:

Birthdays:

... and baby showers!

Even small orders will get that special "droned in" touch:

Oh, and can't forget The Big Day!

Not to worry; I'm sure that'll spring right back...

 Yes, my friends, the future is finally here, and the future is good. A little smooshed, sure, but good - and I, for one...

What's that, you say? 

China has grounded the cake drones? Because the cakes might fall on someone or whatever?

Ok, I take it back. 

GIMMIE MY HOVERBOARD, FUTURE.

P.S. Hey. You know what ALSO needs proper support? Boobs. So here's a quick shout-out to my favorite wire-free bra:

Warner's Easy Does It Seamless Wireless Bra
 

I own four of these now, and plan to keep buying all the colors. Up 'til last year I ONLY wore wired bras - usually Warners -  and it took buying-and-returning over a dozen different brands and styles before I found a wireless one I liked. This one averages $25-40 Prime, so I watch the listing and buy any color that goes on sale. (Today "Toasted" is $22, so I snagged one of those.)

 I love the under-arm smoothing panel - no dig or pinch! - and like most Warners, these are incredibly comfortable. Be sure to check the image gallery for a better idea of how they look on larger tracts of land.

Next Time Keep Your Shirt On, Dad

John and I are driving up to Atlanta for Dragon Con today, which means A) CAR SNACKS and B) this is an excellent time to post the best/worst geek wreck I've seen in ages.

AGES, I say.

Let me take you back to the most iconic scene in all of Star Wars, peeps and geeks. Our hero, wounded but defiant, looks up in disbelief as the dark figure above him utters the words that would change his life and a franchise... forever.

 

Ummmm....

 

Oh hey, you're totally right! Thanks for giving us a hand there, Luke.

 

Hey Beth D., I've got a riddle for you:

Why is Kylo Ren so bad at dating?

'Cause he's always Ben Solo.

Unlike these wrecks, this LEGO set is adorable - and on sale!

LEGO Star Wars AT-AT vs Tauntaun

Lookit the little AT-AT! And the Luke-warm Tauntaun! I'm not into the big sets so much, but I'd get these little bitties to display on my desk.
