  • The Cleanest Teeth

    I just got back from a dental checkup where I was told that I had the cleanest teeth of anyone they had seen that day. I’m still not flossing regularly, but that’s pretty good for the guy who has had over a dozen cavities in about as many years.

  • A Free Wii

    UNEASYsilence is giving away yet another Nintendo Wii. This time, the way you enter the contest is to mention the contest on another website, ergo this post. Sadly, the unit doesn’t come with Wii Sports, but if the Wii is free, I could easily justify spending the… (*looks up the price*) Fifty bucks? Seriously? Geez.…

  • Today in Geek News

    Today’s Diesel Sweeties has a funny typography joke that had me laughing out loud. In other geek news, Adobe CS3 was officially announced today.

  • Butt of the Joke

  • Falcon 1 Launch

    SpaceX will be launching Falcon 1 (which is being described as, “the first original American liquid fuel launcher in four decades”) in about an hour. I’ll be watching the live webcast! From the SpaceX website: “Falcon 1 is a two stage, liquid oxygen and rocket grade kerosene (RP-1) powered launch vehicle. It is designed from…

  • Saying Goodbye

    Today marks the last episode of The Show. That makes me sad. -(

  • Super Natural vs. Supernatural

    Kris has a great post on his blog positing two questions, “What is more beautiful, a universe as complex as ours being the product of a)infinitely small probability, random mutation and quantum whimsy or b) the hand of a divine, intelligent creator?” and “What is more profound, a sense of moral purpose and ethical behavior…

  • Meeting an Idol (Part 2)

    As promised: A snap of me with Bucky Covington. While I’m not a huge fan of country music (or American Idol), it was fun to meet Bucky. We went to a local radio station where he was being interviewed on the air. We entered the booth (which was quite large; there were over a dozen…
