Eyes from Above
Far, far above. A co-worker of mine is long time friends with Dan Tani , an astronaut who currently calls the International Space Station his home. The other day he snapped pictures of the D/FW area and I thought I would share them. Thanks to Dan for...

A Nobel Peace Prize for the Goracle
I'm actually going to leave my opinion of global warming out of this. Al Gore and the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change have won the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize. I think it's pathetic and here's why. According to Alfred Nobel's will, which established...

C'mon Al, debate someone!
Got this from Drudge this morning. A group called the Heartland Institute wants Al Gore to debate one of their experts on global warming. Al won't have anything to do with them. A quote from one of Al's people. "The debate has shifted to how to solve...

Um, you're serious about this, aren't you?
EthicsDaily.com writer Robert Parham tosses out this little gem of an article about how those of us who don't feel that global warming is as big of a threat as it is being made out to be are "deniers" and should be called out for it. I've got problems...

Good days
I finished school last week for the summer, now I've got all of August to look forward to getting caught up on writing and chores around the house, not to mention reading some of the new books I've got. We went to Mardel this weekend and they had several...

Why the BMI is a crock of...well, you get the idea
I read this article today about the growing number of people who are overweight or obese. This really ticked me off. If people keep gaining weight at the current rate, fat will be the norm by 2015, with 75 percent of U.S. adults overweight and 41 percent...

Further proof of a Creator
I saw this image this morning and read the accompanying story and was amazed by it. This is the moon passing in front of the sun during a lunar eclipse. However, this image was taken 1.6 million kilometers (~1 million miles) away from Earth by one of...

To whom it may concern:
I received emails from the following people in the last week: Juice Longer Gemini D. Torments Sickening P. Chunky While I'm sure that your stock tips are great and that you really can get me a good deal on Viagra, I'm really not interested. I...

Some interesting information
As anyone who knows me very well is quite aware, I am an unabashed skeptic when it comes to global warming. I will not say that it doesn't exist, but I will say that I don't think it's as bad as Al Gore would have you believe. So, to follow...

RE: Google may become King
I don't know that by adding those extra services it will make them king, it's more like adding jewels to the crown. Google already owns the internet world. Whenever your name has been turned into a verb (i.e., "Why don't you google that"...

Point to the senator from Oklahoma
You've got to love this exchange between CNN's Miles O'Brien and Senator Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma. Here's the best part. INHOFE: I heard your piece [CNN’s March 2006 Global Warming Special called ‘Melting Point’] on that...

I must do this
Having grown up in south-central Kansas, I had always heard about the space camps that were held at the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center (KSCS) though back in my day it was the Kansas Cosmosphere and Discovery Center. Anyway, I remember thinking that...

Was Katrina the problem, or was it the solution?
I'm not even going to attempt to say I understand what went on in New Orleans last year during Katrina. I will say that I think the rest of the Gulf Coast got hit worse (by the hurricane, important distinction) and has not received nearly the press coverage...

More wild and wacky Hurricane of Terror '06 (TM) predictions
Here's a prediction about the upcoming hurricane from what, I believe, may be the most reliable sources to yet predict the weather. New Orleans, still down and out from last year's assault by Hurricane Katrina, is the U.S. city most likely to be struck...
