The Florida Marlins want you. That is, so long as you're fat and have no problem dancing around for the amusement of others. From the Yahoo!

They didn't have to make separations with me
I've been getting a lot of dental work done recently. If it isn't already too late, I recommend you consider taking care of your teeth as best as humanly possible. Visiting the dentist once a month for half a year is no fun. My most recent dental visit consisted of a root canal. Wasn't nearly as bad as I expected, aside from the multiple Novocain shots through th ...

Physics is awesome!
One of my favorite subjects in high school was physics, it still is one of my favorite things to read about on the news. A guy named Emil Ernerfeldt over in Sweden created this program called Phun where you can literally create objects and toys on the fly and have them interact with each other. This is probably one of the coolest things I've seen in a while and it was ...

Reflections on animal behavior
At the Oakland Zoo this past summer, I happened to pass by the Giraffe's. I take a peak, and this silly long necked animal starts sticking his tongue out at me. It was one of the longest one's I had ever seen. Long and black and limp. He just let it hang out and allowed the thing sway and flap in the wind, back and forth, for minutes on end. Just when I thought the sh ...

Like It's 2001 All Over Again
After playing their "last show" back in 2003, somewhat under the radar indie rockers Gods Reflex (sic) have found themselves together and making music again. Despite the grammar nazi in me disliking the absence of an apostrophe in their name, I couldn't be happier about a band reuniting. I suppose my own personal history leaves a soft spot for mid-west indie rock but ...
