Just found this totally cool example of technology helping us to better understand a concept as large as the size of the universe. My hat’s off (I was wearing one) to the folks at Florida States for their Power of Ten demonstration. Our universe is so unbelievably huge and at the same time intricately complex [...]

Saw this deal over at the LivingRoom called Blogger Idol. I was like, “What the heck is this?” Anyway, it’s a multi-blog, organized-weekly, topic birthing deelio… or something. We’re up to Blogger Idol: Week 3 so feel free to participate. These week’s starter is, ‘A day in the life of…’
A Day in the Life of [...]

Everything changes. And it’s doing it all the time. Today scientists are worried about global warming, but other scientists say that the earth has already taken care of that problem before. Still others say global warming is a myth stemmed from too small a sample size. Whatever the case, what they say it true today [...]

Now that the All-Star Survivor series is gearing up (right after the Superbowl), of course Vegas has to get some action on this. The media is onboard, as well as the many fan sites. So… who would you drop money on? All I know is that any bet placed before the first show should have [...]

A topic for some time has been, “Does music benefit developing babies?” Studies indicate that it does. Not just newborns, but pre-borns too. Everyone knows that teenagers love it, but some forget that the message of the music affects us too, whether the kids recognize it or not. What kind of world would this be [...]

Doesn’t quite qualify as a videogame, but what else would you call it? Back in the day, we were desparate for anything to play at home, so something as bland as the text-based “adventure” The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy was super cool! Today? Not so much. [via Dead Parrots]

Folks may know that I don’t think much of the media in general. Rather than reporting just the facts, it seems that journalists have agendas, on both sides of the political isle. But somehow, John Stossel is different. He doesn’t care. He doesn’t care what his contemporaries think of him. He’s just interested in uncovering [...]

Adrenaline is a mightly thing. Just ask Michael Sinnett after his 13- and 12-year-olds lifted the family van off of him. Why he was under the van to fix a flat is beyond me.

Saw over on Dead Parrotts a link to this hilarious NutriGrain commerical. So bizarre it’s not even funny, yet, it’s very funny. You be the judge.

I’ve always thought the first-person perspective makes video games more realistic. Why they continue to make third-person or isometric-view games is beyond me. With that said, Return of the King was a fun game (albeit short) especially for those fans of the books/movies. There’s a great deal of film footage is this game, which is [...]

From a friend’s site I came across phatmass. Makes me think P.M. Dawn with a Lutheran bent. Anything that brings to mind questions of faith and eternity is a good thing in my book. Wish they’d complete their mission statement though, ‘cuz it’s nice to see how well their walk matches their talk.

Oregon Grandma tracks down car thieves and teaches them the finer points of respecting their elders. How the reporter neglected to snap a photo is beyond me.

The first thing that anyone who reads this should know is, I’m not anti-gay. The reason that I believe that marriage should be one man and one woman is because I’m pro-child. In order to give children the best opportunity at a good life, centuries of human history have shown that this is best design [...]

There’s been a insidious movement underfoot here in America to portray the rich as somehow evil. If you’re making so much money, you must be doing something wrong or illegal, right? Not necessarily and Bill Gates is a prime example of a (very) rich person who gives generously of the resources he’s acquired. America, a [...]

If you’ve never seen a 4D ultrasound, it’s truly amazing. There are galleries of these images all over the Web. Most of these images are taken in the second trimester of development. The whole “is it a baby or not” argument seems pretty straight-forward if you look at things logically. What follows is hypothetical dialog [...]
