I’m not sure if people have noticed over the last decade or so that we’ve been having an epidemic of animals diseases invading our country, Hoof and Mouth disease, Bird Flu, Mad Cow Disease, now Swine Flu…. chicken pox? It appears that either the government is having too much fun with Mad Libs….

Get Neuro-“Enhanced”: Drugs for Our Generation.
I wrote the post below for a bioethics blog that the illustrious Jue Wang co-edits, called E-Monk. I’m not sure if it falls under the purview of E-Monk’s subject matter, so, until its tenuous acceptance, it’s housed below.
(On a more Gawker/Ivy-Gate-esque note, I’d also like to note that I’m pretty sure I know the identity of the Harvard student profiled in the...

NASA refuses to honor "Colbert"
“Students at Harvard were disappointed with NASA’s announcement that Node 3 of the International Space Station will be called Tranquility, even after the name ‘Colbert’ received the most votes during the online contest to name the component. ‘Colbert’ won because Stephen Colbert of The Colbert Report encouraged his viewers to write his name in for the contest. ...

Me: Can you bring me back to campus? I'm crashing there tonight.
Rony: Ooo, who's the guy?
Me: No, no guy, I just... there's a bed there.
Josh: Who's the guy IN the bed?

Josh: --And you're going back to him??

Reason #19287 why my sister = greatness.
She stayed with me in the hospital and overnight. And in the morning, she made me pancakes from scratch.
Pancakes from scratch! And they had bubbles in them, bubbles which popped in the heat of the pan, becoming radial rays of tiny, toasty-lined holes. Cosmic sculpture in a most minute form, a lightest crunch masking a sweet and soft inside.
Then I ate six pancakes. SIX PANCAKES I ATE. Each...

Interesting night at the concert
nickblr:
So tonight I went to the Rachael Yamagata show at Slim’s in SF. I couldn’t find anyone who was interested in going, so I went alone yet again. That is the 3rd show this year where I had no takers. If you don’t know how I work, I always buy two tickets to every concert I go to whether it be a concert festival like Outside Lands or a random show at a dive bar. Most of the time, no one is...

E.B. White’s dystopian view, from the 1930s:
“Along about 1920 it became apparent that more things were being written than people had time to read. That is to say, even if a man spent his entire time reading stories, articles, and news, as they appeared in books, magazines, and pamphlets, he fell behind. This was no fault of the reading public; on the contrary, readers made a real...

Welcome to my Portfolio - ish.
I’ve been thinking lately about how to create a portfolio site that can showcase my work. I have a neat concept in mind that will take a little development, but in the meantime, I thought it would be fun and simple to set up a “portfolio” on my Tumblog, simply by tagging the posts I’ve written about my work. Here, you can see some of the things I’ve done, ideas I...
