One Eyed Monster
Imagine a movie that stars Amber Benson (probably best known as Tara from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and Ron Jeremy (probably best known as... umm...hmm... let's say Vincenzo Lipazzi in Boondock Saints. Yeah. I'll go with that one). Now realize it is not that kind of movie.
You have to watch the trailer on the website. It really explains it all. ( Read more... ) -
Gay Marriage
Last night the Democratic presidential hopefuls had a debate sponsored by the LGBT advocacy group Human Rights Campaign. Republican candidates were invited as well but none of them accepted the invitation. Salon has a summary of what was said and none of it sounds very impressive to me, with the exception of Mike Gravel who pointed out the fact ( Read more... ) -
237 Reasons to Have Sex
Some new research out of the University of Texas has discovered that there are at least 237 reasons why people have sex. The paper is interesting to read. And very eye-opening. Many of the reasons are expected, like "being drunk", "it feels good", and "wanted to express my love". But many of them were surprising to me. Having sex in exchange for ( Read more... ) -
I need your help
This sickens me. Paris Hilton and her "supporters" are planning to petition Governor Schwarzenegger to pardon her so she doesn't have to go to jail ( Read more... ) -
Virginia Tech Thoughts, part 1
The shooting at Virginia Tech was a reprehensible event. It doesn't make sense for someone to go in and kill as many strangers as possible, so our view of the world is throw into confusion. If people died there for no reason what is to say that won't happen here today or next week or a year from now? Introducing that sort of uncertainty into our ( Read more... ) -
So who had sex with who?
Last night Mel and I went out to Borders to look for a few books, and to redeem her free dessert coupon they sent her for her birthday. While we were there, a teen girl was having a conversation on her cell phone as she wandered the store. It was very annoying. Not because she was talking loudly, or because of the topic she was discussing, but ( Read more... ) -
Monday? Again?
I was not pleased to see that it was snowing this morning. Again. The high today is supposed to get up to the 40's, but still- the white stuff and the temperatures that go with it are getting old.
Been a busy day so far, and have weekend updates but not the brain power to write them. So instead I will give you links:- Wired talks about YouTube ( Read more... )

I don't think my job is nearly so bad anymore
The perils of trying to save the elephant from extinction
“One guy I know got a black eye from being hit by an elephant’s penis."
How do you explain that one when people ask? I think I would take the easy way out and say my wife beats me. -
"I need a little help with my calculus, can you integrate my natural log?"
When I was in college, I was required to take 2 years of calculus as was every engineering student. It was taught by a nice man, but one that was fairly flighty and did not explain things well. After one of his lengthy explanations, many of us in the class would turn to one another to see if anyone had a look on their face that remotely resembled ( Read more... ) -
What are your experiences?
The Experience Project is a new social network, but it seems to be different. What if, instead of a social network that shows off your photos or videos, or your stories, or your interests, there was a network that connected people based on your experiences? How well would you get to know people if you only knew them by their experiences? And not ( Read more... )
