Countdown: One Day to SXSW
SXSW Interactive is just over a day away. It’s my favorite time of the year. Even better than Christmas.
Great article up on Salon right now called I, Nanobot. Definitely worth a read.
I just saw a great Twilight Zone. One of the old black and white ones. Man, I didn’t realize how [...]
A study recently published by Science Daily states that moderate drinkers, those who average around a drink per day, are 54% less likely to be obese. They go on to state that that is counter-intuitive. Bah.

Bush didn’t make Katrina, but he deserves blame
Bush does not bear responsibility for Katrina. It is possible that society as a whole does for the last 150 years. The gulf has, I believe, warmed by about two degrees and that does add fuel to the hurricane’s fire.

Creationism vs ID vs Evolution
Evolution is real. It is concrete. It stands on millions of fossils that all fall into place perfectly with one another, none of them out of place, nothing contradicting the theory. Referring to it as a theory is like referring to the “theory of gravity” as just a theory. Last time I looked out the window, the neighbors weren’t floating over their porches.
Monkeying with Man

Flying Spaghetti Monster and other Theoretical Nonsense
In keeping with the theory that the Theory of Evolution is just a theory, I present to you the following site: Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. And since no theory should be held as scientific fact, I further present you with: Evangelical Scientists Refute Gravity With New ‘Intelligent Falling’ Theory.
