Yeah. Haven't posted much here lately because I've been venting my spleen on Facebook pretty much exclusively lately. So if you care, and I don't know many who do, just check out my bullshit there. I'm sure you'll find me ( Read more... )

Although the techno news pundits have been saying it for a year now, I feel it is time to put the nail in the coffin of the once-great Myspace phenomenon. You were great while you lasted, but all good things must come to an end ( Read more... )

Saw this article in The Other Paper today and was really kinda surprised. I didn't know that Grove City Council has had an unwritten law that forbids tattoo shops in town. I find it pretty interesting that even in this day and age that some conservative towns still try to keep legitimate businesses like tattoo shops out because it is still ( Read more... )

I am sick of this cold snowy weather! Go away already. I am so ready for Spring. I want to be able to walk outside and not fall on my ass in the icerink that passes for my parking lot.

We still have much to be done and the days ahead may be dark, but I think we just took a great step forward to making this nation great again. I ( Read more... )

Clouds of methane gas in Mars' atmosphere may be an indication of microbial life on the Red Planet. While this doesn't "prove" that any life exists, it sure is a strong indicator.

It seems that a lot of people, including Barak Obama, are concerned that people just aren't going to be ready to deal with it.
