Lance Armstrong’s Ballsy Baby

Lance Armstrong never ceases to amaze me. The guy had testicular cancer for God’s sake. He recovered from that and proceeded to dominate the Tour de France. Now, at 37, not only did he announce his return to the Tour to raise cancer awareness, but it turns out that he and girlfriend Anna Hansen are [...]

My President has ripped abs. How about yours?

Americans can now brag “My President has ripped abs. How about yours?” – Check out the latest paparazzi photos for proof -> Barack Obama Shirtless Pictures

Talk about bizarre

Talk about bizarre. The conspiracy theorists out there think the Republicans stole the 2004 elections using a computer network that they had designed in Ohio. I admit that the facts on the ground are a little bizarre. But what’s more bizarre is that the guy who designed that computer network, and who was a Republican [...]

Can you really save the earth with a credit card?

I’m a little skeptical of the green movement. It’s not that I don’t want to go green. It’s not that I don’t want alternative energy… What I’m skeptical of is the attempt to market anything and everything as “green” – in something you’d expect straight out of The Onion, there are now green credit cards [...]

People are predictable

More evidence that people are just so freakin’ predictable…  not only is Church attendance skyrocketing in correlation with our current economic woes, but divorce rates are plummeting.  Why?   In the first case, because people are looking for something they can rely on (since the economy certainly has provided that security) and in the second, people [...]

Bad Economy and Pets

This story made me sad: Recession Forcing Owners To Abandon Pets

Bikini Jeans the most ridiculous product ever?

I guess they sorta look hot… but bikini jeans????  Are you kidding me?  What a crazy, ridiculous idea.  So crazy I wouldn’t be surprised if it catches on.  Just imagine a woman getting her picture taken in these things as a teenager and then having to explain to her kids how silly the fashion world [...]

Harness Slow Moving Water For Energy

It’s cool to see that we are learning how to harness common things for energy and not just relying on uncommon things.  Up until now, we’ve had to rely on fast moving water to harness energy from water.  But it looks like slow moving water (1 mph) can now be tapped too.

Ford Fusion Reviews

Looks like someone in Detroit is at least doing something right.  Here’s a list of 2009 Ford Fusion Reviews and from what I can tell, the Ford Fusion is a winner.

Ksenia Sukhinova – Miss World

Miss World -  Ksenia Sukhinova Well, there’s only one woman in the world crowned Miss World each year.  And this year she’s an absolute stunner.  Check out these photos of Ksenia Sukhinova.

Lately, I’ve been trying to get a littl …

Lately, I’ve been trying to get a little more multi-cultural by becoming familiar with soccer … or as they call it everywhere else, football. While initially, it was hard for me to watch a football match, mostly because there is so much activity in the middle of the field, I’ve been getting into it more [...]

Cane Corso

  One of my employees sent me an amazing book for Christmas called The Encyclopedia of the Dog.  My wife and I have been looking through it as we thoroughly enjoy this time without a TV.   One of the dogs that has really caught my attention is the Cane Corso (pictured above).    According to this [...]

Beautiful Islands

Nature never ceases to amaze me.  I just stumbled across this amazing list of 30 Beautiful Island Archipelagos.   A must look!

going to the Jersey Shore this coming we …

going to the Jersey Shore this coming weekend. i don’t know how to explain this but in the winter, the Jersey Shore is about the most quiet place you can go on the East Coast. And if you’re like me, quiet = heaven. So this will be like a retreat for me. A time to [...]

Self Inflicted Athletes

With the Plaxico Burress situation, I couldn’t help but enjoy this bit from Complex -> The 5 Most Infamous Self Inflicted Athlete Injuries

Getting linked to from the big guns

I don’t know whether google will count this link since it is a tinyurl, but it’s nice to see your work get rewarded via an editorial link on a major newspaper blog: MInd hacking

clipmarks

Hmmm. Had never heard of clipmarks before.  Looks like an interesting site though.

The Worst Christmas Photo Ever?

Haha.  This is pretty bad for a Christmas photo.  Flickr Photo Link

What a good librarian does

I had terrible librarians in high school.  They always acted like you were intruding on their free time if you asked a question.   But, I do know that there are some great librarians out there who really try to help students.    Ms. Barrett at the Duxbury High School Library is one such person.

Wierd News

In today’s weird news of the day.  This dominatrix lady from NYC apparently got kidnapped by a client who proceeded to kill her boyfriend.   Talk about the tables turning.  Link:  Jade Vixen Kidnapped
