Good Point
Interesting point about the VT shooter found here: Some news accounts have suggested that Cho had a history of antidepressant use, but senior federal officials tell ABC News that they can find no record of such medication in the government\’s files. This does not completely rule out prescription drug use, including samples from a physician,…

Quotes
what it\’s like . . . when it\’s unknown if a trip to school will be your last. I wonder if my family is OK . . . This is a big challenge for us. We are courageous people. We are brave. Virginia Tech? Not quite. I\’m not here to make the claim that people…

Water Water Everywhere
I turned on my shower at 6:43 this AM. By 6:50 the water was tepid enough for me to enter the shower, after seven entire minutes of being ice cold. A few minutes later it was so hot that I had to adjust the temperature on the fly for a minute or so after that.…

The Costs of Living
So I\’ve been thinking about giving up cable TV lately. I know, I know. You\’re saying: That\’s crazy talk! There\’s no way you\’ll be able to give that up. At least one of you has already said that to me verbatim. But bear with me, and listen to the rationale, and we\’ll see if I…

Vive Les Nukes
So you\’re saying France is getting something right? Natrually it came about via the typical French attitude of well… we\’re gonna do something different… so nyah…, but still. I\’m moderately impressed, and did not know this particular fact about the country. Cleanest air, and lowest energy prices, what\’s not to like? Good wine too, I…

Extremities.
I get a funny feeling in mine. But that is neither here nor there. This is kind of an interesting read. I\’m not sure that I\’d want to hold up South Park as an example of how people should be. But by the same token there\’s just so much extremism in the world these days,…

Found in the Tubes.
I\’ve had some down time this morning between tasks, so I thought I\’d do some tube-culling. Here then are some links of interest: There are deadly jellyfish moving south in Australia, and \’they\’ are saying it\’s due to global warming. What I\’m more concerned with is that the jellyfish are apparently even more deadly than…

The Story of One Man\’s Total Failure
Everyone loves a good folly, right? The weather\’s so nice out there today that I thought I\’d take a short walk to the local sporting goods behemoth store (Dick\’s, in case you were wondering). It\’s not a long walk, probably not even a mile, so I thought it would be enjoyable. I needed a brown…

LCD: This Gambit
Hey, why not. We\’ve already got a PCP feature. No folks, I\’m not talking about a type of computer monitor, although I am in fact that geeky. What LCD stands for today is Lowest Common Denominator. That\’s right – I\’m posting up videos. This first one comes to us via Deadspin, and is probably slightly…
