Gacked from the Bad Astronomer’s blog. Oftentimes, you have to already have a degree in biology to refute the weird assertions people make about evolution. That speciation hasn’t been observed is one I always have a problem with because, ahem, I’m not a biologist and I don’t keep the details at the front of my …

Cloverfield
Jenn and I saw Cloverfield last night. Rating, 4 stars (out of five). Firstly the things that bugged me: Buildings don’t lean against other buildings at the angles and heights that were shown in the movie. Also, if you’ve ever played the computer game “Half Life”, you’ll get some serious flashbacks while watching the film. …
Crappy Refrigerator is Gone!
A week or so ago, I alerted all of my email lists and livejournal communities, etc., that a Crappy Refrigerator in my garage was free for the taking. You just had to come and get it. This fridge has a storied history of moves and uses, and finally ended up in my garage, gathering dust. …
I [Hate] Huckabee
South Carolina’s Republican primary was yesterday and I’m ecstatic that Huckabee lost. I’m less ecstatic that he came in second. Of all the viable Republican candidates, he’s the one I want to see nominated the least. Of all the front running candidates, I don’t really care who gets put up by the Democrats, and I …
"Don't Think, We'll Do it For You"
Plucked from the Bad Astronomer (who got it from somebody else) comes a video about how happiness can be found through not thinking. No, I never feel this way when I have conversations with people.
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
We finally got around to watching the second hour of the Sarah Connor Chronicles. My initial impressions: Good enough to keep me watching for now, but not so good that I’ll weep if I miss an episode. The highlight, of course, is Summer Glau kicking butt as the protector terminator. Unfortunately for Summer, she’s being …

Random Fact of the Day
“Research has shown that women who have complete transection of the spinal cord can experience orgasms through the vagus nerve, which can go from the uterus, cervix and probably the vagina to the brain.” So, if you’re a woman who experiences a severing of her spinal cord, you’re not necessarily done with orgasms.

New Date to Write
Every year, I have a tiny contest with myself to go the whole year without screwing up the date. I managed this feat in 1993. This year’s status: Failure on day 2. What is truly amusing is I thought I’d screwed up on day 3, but then I looked at my training log and realized …
