An open letter to a stupid woman Dear Moron, The main drag in town has a speed limit of 20 miles per hour – a completely reasonable number, and one which I follow quite strictly. It would be embarrassing to have to explain to my boss why I was speeding down main street. This morning was quite [...]
This is a novel idea whose time has come. I want one. I must know how that was created.
I guess google maps updated their satellite images… and they did it while I was at home. Look! You can check it out for yoursef here. Sweet. I’m also giving this a shot. Which looks like a pretty neat little mixture of online game and real-life game.
So… they have a “World’s Ugliest Dog” competition. The, uh, “winner” is very, very scary looking. I was amused that most of the entrants were Chinese Crested. I honestly have no idea why someone would want to own that breed of dog. None whatsoever. Then again… I own a lab, and after reading about this one, [...]

But I’m not going to provide any analysis… I’m just going to let their words speak and actions speak for themselves. The Ladies did a lot of work to put this whole [...]
Uh oh. Looks like there’s going to be a showdown in the not-too-distant future. Apparently, in a decade or so, the sun is going to be entering a period of low activity. That’s interesting, but my favorite feature of this article is how it describes the current status of the field of climate research. [...]
A few months back, the gals from Ladies…. It all seemed like a great idea at the time1. They called for entries, and got a ton of them. Who knew the men of the blogosphere were so vain? (Shut up.) Now, most polls, contests, and surveys spend a lot of time and energy to keep cheaters [...]
