I came across an article from Stanford University News, that indicates radioactive decay rates may not be the universal constant they are believed to be. In fact, they may not only vary, they may actually be influenced by our own sun.
I haven’t had much time to post of late, preferring to spend it reading a new series. I did see this article today about the “underwater oil plume” that scientists have confirmed to exist from that BP well which I felt deserved a quick post. The sheer scope of the oil plume boggles the mind. [...]
No, this isn’t some post about a Monty Python skit. This is about spam with a lower-case “s.” The kind that seems to flood every e-mail in-box across the planet, and of late, this backwater blog site. I understand that most of the spam posting is automated, but still, at some point some human somewhere [...]
Protesting about cuts and taxes the government has no choice but to make, without offering some other type of solution, is like demonstrating against cancer, or protesting tornadoes.
No, this post isn’t some type of Journey retrospective. It’s about some odd event that occurred over the skies of Norway last night. Details are still rather sketchy at this point but that something odd happened cannot be denied. Something odd enough to perk even my overly-jaded interest.
I’ve posted here before about the exploits of California’s current governor, and I haven’t changed my opinion of him.

When I came across this story on MSNBC, I thought it was a joke. Checking the date, it’s not April 1st and the website they reference exists so I’ll have to take it for real. The story is about a website that is basically “Facebook” for dogs. Really.
OK, so that post title is inaccurate, but that’s kind of my point in this post. Every Wednesday at our house is game night, and we usually have some type of fast food that night for dinner. Last night, the fast food du jour was Taco Bell. We’re at the counter waiting for our order [...]
I came across this story on The Daily Mail website about new clouds spotted in the U.K. It was odd enough I thought it deserved commenting on here. The article describes a new cloud phenomonon that they have been observing all over the UK for a while now. I’ve seen this type of cloud formation here [...]
Once in a while you come across a story that just warms your heart. This is one of those tales. I found a link over on mentalfloss.com this week to a story about an anti-scammer group that actually manged to get one of those Nigerian scammers to send them money. No small feat.
