Today I would like to rant a bit about the overused term BASICALLY.  Seems like everyone from late night talk show hosts to politicians uses the term basically as a crutch or a filler word.  They need to STOP NOW!     We have a beautiful language.  The English language has thousands of words that roll off ones tongue with grace and fluidity.  I basically want everyone to stop murdering the language.  Basically this is our...

Tomorrow is my birthday.  I am not a big believer in things either lucky or unlucky so the fact that it falls on Friday and is the 13th day of the month really doesn’t bother me.  On the contrary it sort of excites me because I love to see people’s reactions when I try to have birthday celebrations on a Friday the 13th.

     I like to try and keep this blog firmly in the realm of Geekery.  I hope this still fits the bill as it deals with science.  I was bored one day and happened to run accross a virus name that made me do a double-take because I thought there was no way the name could be real.  Well it was real and it made me take some time to find others like it.  Put on your childish man-boy hat and prepare to GIGGLE!  Some of these I was able...

We have become a whining, lazy, materialistic, narcissistic, belligerent, uncouth society.  That’s really saying a lot but i believe that statement sums up the way the world has turned pretty well.  One of the easiest of these self depreciating habits to correct is materialism.   It is a very sad commentary about our lives when the value of the the things we own dictates how much others like us.  Mad Magazine summed it up with...

The Oscars last night were a JOKE!  I feel they were so out of touch with reality on so many levels.  My friend Mike warned me to stop watching award shows.  Mike I think I will now buddy.  Here are just a few of my gripes this year. I feel some large glaring mistakes were made. First, The Dark Knight SHOULD have been at leastnominated for best pic. Secondly its a shame that Grand Torino wasn’t nominated for anything not even...
