It appears that those tinfoil hats are actually a part of the government plot to enslave us!  Some MIT students did a study on the hats and found that they actually boosted the signal reaching the head were amplified by 30 db at 2.6 Ghz and 20db at 1.2Ghz and 1.5 Ghz.  The 1.2-1.4 Ghz are the government bands for GPS and other "radio location" and ( Read more... )

Taking a break from finals. So far 1 A! and probably another one, only STATs to go.

This got brought up and I figure this might be the best place to get an answer.

I tried to do a search on the "War on Christmas".  The only real meat to it was reports on Fox News that turned out to be misrepresentations of the truth.  For example, after a little ( Read more... )

Finals are upon me, and so this is the perfect time to take a break. I am almost done with my poster to present at the annual Entomoligical Sociaty of America in Ft. Lauterdale next week, I'll post it here, it has pretty pictures of cannabilised emerald ash borer larva. MSU library is the coolest library I have ever been in. I went to check out a ( Read more... )

When I am talking about "energy" I mean our electricity problems.  Those problems aren't as severe as our transportation problems, but its a start.  "New" photovoltaics could probably remove the need for any new coal or nuclear power plant.  These solar panels are cool.  They are built just like roofing shingles that you can nail to the roof like ( Read more... )

Well, I think I have finally got enough time now to do something other then homework, moving people, and doing work. Lots of stuff has been going on but for start here's an interesting link.  This is way scarier then the war on terror.  It gives some details the new bird virus that is now quickly evolving in Asia and the one from 1918.  At least we ( Read more... )

Congratulations! You scored 81%!

Whether through ferocity or quickness, you made it out. You made the right choice most of the time, but you probably screwed up somewhere. Nobody's perfect, at least you're alive.

Here is an extremely interesting article from fact check on what is actually needed to allow social security to pay out similar benifits in the future.  It is very well done and goes into a lot of good deal of what options of tax increases or benifit cuts are possible and how they work.

It seems that the government is hiding something from us. Something very important. ZOMBIES! This kid from Kentucky was arrested and charged with a felony for writing a zombie story. He claims it was just creative fiction, but I bet he had an army of brain-eating monsters in his basement that he was just waiting to release. Thank you for protecting ( Read more... )

Well, I definitely got into to MSU, starting in February. Time to party. I didn't have a party after I graduated because I really didn't feel like it. I had no idea where I was going in life. But now I am really, really excited, so I think it would be fun to do a BYO potluck and I can cook something up.    Time to celebrate.

On sunday Claire and I ( Read more... )
