Karl Rove shows how it’s done because he is a Genius

This is a wonderful object lesson we have for us today. This is how you fling shit, and fling it well.
The Genius that is Bush’s Brain has spoken.

On the campaign trail last year, Barack Obama promised to end the “politics of fear and cynicism.” Yet he is now trying to sell his [...]

Robots Taking Over the Runways and Dreamscapes

First up, from the far, far east….
(TSUKUBA, Japan) A new walking, talking robot from Japan has a female face that can smile and has trimmed down to 43 kilograms (95 pounds) to make a debut at a fashion show. But it still hasn’t cleared safety standards required to share the catwalk with human models.

The Story of the Evolution of Hot Peppers (they’re for the birds)

Watt’s up with that tackles hot peppers.
Some plants do not want to get eaten. They may grow in places difficult to approach, they may look unappetizing, or they may evolve vile smells. Some have a fuzzy, hairy or sticky surface, others evolve thorns. Animals need to eat those plants to survive and plants need not [...]

More Stuff I Won’t Get to Write About, at length (dang editing)

Computer power and intelligence. I actually did a video bit about this one the other night.  Hopefully I’ll get it edited soon.  Simple fact: We DO NOT WANT TO CREATE AN AI!   Really, it would not be a good thing.

Shaq isn’t human, he’s dancer. (Thanks, Case!)

Let’s Start This Off With a Video…

…then I’ll tell you a story about my week.

It was the best of weeks, and it was the worst of weeks.
Sunday: My week started with the end of the football season, as noted here. That was a great game and a great night.  I met a friend during the game that [...]

A Couple New Vids for Shits and Giggles and Deep Morning Thoughts

And of course….

I like the soundtrack on the second one much better.

The Best (and Worst) Superbowl Ever

So I went to my favorite pub/sports pub to do some liveblogging for the Superbowl.
As football is about as close as I come to organized religion, the Superbowl is a big day for me.  A Super Party, if you well.   I had picked my location in the bar early and spent most of the day [...]

Initial reactions to My First Book

So I’ve had enough people read some of my book to realize a couple things.
First, pretty much everyone who reads it says that I’m a quote “good writer.”  Thanks, everyone.  Really.  It’s hard to tell sometimes and get honest feedback.  I had ONE professor in college (a Vietnam vet who taught a class on media [...]

Joel, you first.
