It turns out that I really enjoy eating in mom & pop establishments. I sort of always knew that, but didn’t think about it much. They’re often times more expensive than bigger chains, but for what they lack in economy, they gain in service and dining pleasure. You also get a warm, fuzzy knowing that… Continue reading I Eat Yellow Foods

The Future Belongs to Chimeras
Folks are crossing animal and human genes to produce chimeras now. The goal is twofold. One; to develop stem cells for human organs without the illegal practice of stem cell harvesting in humans. Two; to monitor human development without dissecting people on the streets. From those perspectives, it seems like a good thing. Our history… Continue reading The Future Belongs to Chimeras
Industrial Waste
My friend, Sean, writes today about the sludge they call coffee at his office. From some previous posts, you may recognize me as a connoisseur of sorts in the coffee realm. I loathe nasty coffee because it’s such a bad example to the bean. The worst ever was the muddy water vending machine at a… Continue reading Industrial Waste
Word of the Day
Today’s word of the day is: epiphenomenon An epiphenomenon is a secondary phenomenon that occurs as a result of another and remains a complice. In the blogging world, you might attribute the photo-blog as an epiphenomenon to the weblog itself.
Same-Sex Marriage (Speaking of Faith)
I listened to “Speaking of Faith” this evening on NPR. The program was about same-sex marriages and the opinions of two Evangelical Christians. I was able to hear the first, Richard Mouw, before I retired from my car in the driveway. It was probably one of the best discussions I’ve heard of this nature. Mouw… Continue reading Same-Sex Marriage (Speaking of Faith)
Europe Unveils the Biggest SUV Ever
A new passenger jet, the SkyPig (a.k.a. Airbus A380), was debuted recently to the excitement of European engineers and pimps. The double-decker airliner can seat 555 passengers in all ranges of comfortable seating and has boogers bigger than the Boeing 747 (not really, though it does has a huge, bulbous nose-cone). There are ludicrous plans… Continue reading Europe Unveils the Biggest SUV Ever
Darwin’s Cheaters
Cheating in Halo 2 is now prolific on the XBOX Live service. I’ve been witness to it myself, but have not participated. In general, it doesn’t bother me as much as many of my compadres, but I am annoyed by the after-effects it has. The most prime example of exploit used is the “modem standbye”… Continue reading Darwin’s Cheaters
Men’s Penitentiary
Entering a small, well-lit room from the bottom of a stairwell today with four other buddies, we are greeted by an assortment of naked men occupying the 50 or so square feet. It’s dank in the close quarters and a general awkwardness overcomes us all. To combat this, we all decide to kid about men’s… Continue reading Men’s Penitentiary
Adam & Eve
Today, for the uninitiated, is Christmas Adam. As many of you know, Adam came before Eve ergo today’s celebration. I’m not sure when in history we collectively decided to end our recognition of the first homo sapiens, but the choice to embrace this *truth and honor it for a day can be made. Since I’ve… Continue reading Adam & Eve
Winter is Here!
Not that it had gone unnoticed by anyone, but today is officially Winter. It has been very cold for the last week or so. Yesterday the weather decided to ring Fall and ask for cover while it went for a smoke break. This week, looks like Fall will be standing in for Winter during the… Continue reading Winter is Here!
