Good on ya, Howard.

A buddy of mine moved out to Colorado a few months back and as it turns out.. has been doing some good.

Let this be a lesson to you.. don't drive through flooded streets, unless Howard is around to save you.

He's being flown out to New York so he can appear on the Today show tomorrow morning, so that's pretty exciting.

I wish they had a picture of him standing on top of the Jeep though. Can I make fun of someone for that sort of thing? I mean, he did need rescued, just because you saved someone before you needed rescued, doesn't mean you didn't need it.

I think I need an officially ruling on that. Regardless... good show, Howard.

Senator puts "Secret Hold" on bill

Oh come on, how can I make something like this up?

As it turns out.. and I'll completely admit to my ignorance on this subject.. Senators can put "Secret Holds" on bills in Congress.

The absolutely best part of the story though, has yet to be revealed.

The bill that was put on Double Secret Probation was of course... a bill that would have opened up more Federal Records.

So brilliantly, a bill that seeks to open certain kinds of federal records, was cancelled by a person that can hide behind some magic shield.

Pure genius.

PS3 Hopes to cure Alzheimer's

The Playstation 3 is set to be released in November (of course, it was set to be released last year, but thats a whole different deal), but they are in the news for a different reason this time.

The PS3 has teamed up with folding@home to attempt to cure diseases such as Alzheimer's, Mad Cow, ALS, Parkinson's and countless others by using a Distributed computing network.

Distrubuted networks were popularized with the SETI@home project that is still running that searches for ET life throughout the universe. The catch with the PS3 is that the "cell" in the PS3 will run the program 10 times faster then an average home computer. Should be interesting to see how the program develops.

An article about it can be found here.

#20? Screw that!

How can we be #20? That's f'ing ridiculous. We should be so much higher!

F YOU POLL! WE DESERVE BETTER.

Man, I am angry.

Maine Hellbeast Killed by Car

My special correspondent, Fletcher, pointed me to this article about a Hell beast killed in Maine over the weekend.

Animal control officers say its a rare wolf-dog hybrid, but obviously it's a creature from the world beyond. I mean, look at it. Be scared. Be very scared.

82! 82! 82!

Wanna know where your last name ranks?

For my family members that read my blog.. you're #82, I promise.

Wanna go golfing?

Well, okay, it's not regular golf.. as a matter of fact, it's just a driving range.

But I still want to go golfing at this place.

My friends that I golf with take the game very seriously and get frustrated when they mess up. I don't take the game so seriously.. so I think I'd have more fun trying to hit random targets.

At $0.30 a ball during "peak hours" it'd be pricey, but it'd be fun to play around with. All in all though, golf balls with sensors? Freaking cool.

Chad gets Photoshopped onto Beinn Eighe

My brother, Chad, has been off wandering the world again (as he does). This picture was taken in the Scottish Highlands on the Mountain of Beinn Eighe. It practically looks fake it's so beautiful. Is everyone jealous? I am.

Scientists creating new Universe

Japanese scientists are attempting to create a new universe within a lab.

If successful the space-time continuum around that point will break from ours, but since it is a whole seperate universe it will not collapse our own space time continuum.

Let's hope that they are calculating things correctly.
