The Sun does not revolve around the Earth

I know you all probably already knew this, but the Sun does NOT revolve around the Earth. Quite the inverse actually. Ordinarily, I wouldn’t have brought it up at all, but the NY Times is running an article that just made me want to clarify. One adult American in five thinks the Sun revolves around [...]

Some concepts really are universal. The loppemarket is the Norwegian equivalent of a flea market: a little bit of everything for everyone. There’s just something about other [...]

Hurricane Information

This is an absolutely amazing internet phenomenon. Wikipedia has become an incredible resource for ongoing information about current events. The July 7 London Bombings was one of the first “events” where the Wikipedia community really showed what was possible. You could go there to find current information, phone numbers & lots of other information. It [...]

Flying Spagatti Monster

This letter has been getting a lot of publicity in the online world over the last week or two. I personally think that it’s pretty brilliant. The Kansas School Board has been debating whether or not “Intelligent Design” should be taught along side of Evolution. Apparently, the rule as currently written has a major loophole. [...]

Back from vacation

Well, I’m finally back from my travels in the Fjords. Norway really is an incredibly beautiful place. I hope to get some pictures up in the near future so keep a look out.

This man sells spices. He also apparently tells stories (or so I’m told). The vendors with the best stories sell the most spices. A [...]

Joe Biden on the Daily Show

Holy crap that was cool. If you haven’t senator Joe Biden’s (D) appearance on the Daily Show, it was incredible. He suggested that there was a possibility of a ticket including himself and John McCain (R)! If this happens, it will fundimentally change the way American politics are done. John Stewart hooks a little message [...]
