The mind is a vacum. In the beginning, it draws information unending. As the vacum is naturalized, the consumption is slowed until it finally stops. At that point, some informational back-pressure occurs and something goes missing. If you attempt to add to the mind at this stage, you only force something else out. This is… Continue reading Nature Abhors a Vacum

New Recruits
Carlos Rivera and I have both been trying to recruit additional members into the blogosphere. At present, we’re working on pressuring a fellow car-pooler, David C., and a co-worker, Marc W. Each of them have some assemblage of a web site already, but you and I know that excuse is lame. Besides, I don’t think… Continue reading New Recruits
An Artsy Fartsy Weblog: The IF Project
Scott Thigpen has a neat idea running on his blog regarding “The IF Project.” I haven’t read the book of virtually the same title, but I’m interested to do so now. It sounds like it would be a good coffee table book – now to just get a coffee table. “The project is to stir… Continue reading An Artsy Fartsy Weblog: The IF Project

Long Goodbye’s
Today my car was violated. As I drove soberly through inconsistent traffic in Gainesville, I noticed the 4 or 5-car pile-up that caused all the congestion. Continuing only 30 feet or so beyond the sad wrecks, I was greeted by screaching breaks and a solid thud into my trunk. The lady driving a Grand Jeep… Continue reading Long Goodbye’s
X + Y = Bar Brawl
I’ve spent that last two nights (Friday and Saturday night) playing Fable and Halo2 into the wee hours of the morning. I play on XBOX’s Live service, so there’s a collection of friends I can call upon to game with. It’s addictive sport, if not for the game itself, then the peculiar human interaction within… Continue reading X + Y = Bar Brawl
Raven Wasp Whisperer
Raven, my shaggy black dog, is an incredible wasp slayer. When she was younger, she attacked a low-flying wasp only to feel its revenge in her mouth. She shook her head vigorously for a long time, and drooled profusely. I’ve been stung by a wasp before, but I can’t imagine that feeling on my tongue.… Continue reading Raven Wasp Whisperer
Reminiscing Illness of Yonder Years
When I was in grammar school and sick, my mom would set me up with a bunch of Bob Hope “Road to…” shows or some Abbott and Costello films to keep me entertained throughout the day. I also enjoyed the taste of Saltines, chicken soup, and lemon-lime Gatorade. To this day, I’m mostly unwilling to… Continue reading Reminiscing Illness of Yonder Years
Schiavo Dies 14 Days After Feeding Tube Removed
It’s all over the news. Schiavo died today from starvation/dehydration 14 days following the disconnection of her feeding tube appartus. CNN.com reports: “Without liquids, it could take Schiavo two to four weeks to die from dehydration.” I don’t get this though. Upon entering the office today, we began arguing about how long the human body… Continue reading Schiavo Dies 14 Days After Feeding Tube Removed
BoingBoing TidBits
Via BoingBoing, we learn of the Watsui Cow’s rather well-endowed head. Link Suprisingly, there’s very little information discovered about the watsui cattle through a quick google.com search. I also checked the Wikipedia, but nothing there either. I’d write something if only I had found a relevant source. Also, this rather funny sign:
