Making the ordinary terrifying! Awesome!

This is funny and sad. I wish people would think of how they sound when they are taking a video. The kid taking the footage is obviously no more than thirteen.
I am secretly pleased to post my first “sex” and “animals” post.
Special Report: Republicans Knew Bullets Cause Death

Recent highly sensitive confidential reports have surfaced across the news media and have sent shock and awewaves across the blogosphere. It seems that Republicans knew all along that bullets, when used properly, actually lead to death. Some historians have even argued that bullets have been killing people as early at the 1100s as depicted in early cave sculptures. Republican leaders have argued that the vase-shaped bombard depicted in the primitive artwork is not a death-dealing device at all, rather it is one of the earliest known depictions of Democracy and Freedom attempting to gain a following in a feudal kingdom that would later transform into a Communist regime and warned us that if we continue down the path of the drastic leftist policies of a veiled Socialist regime, we will lose everything.
Apparently, little metal objects propelled at a high rate of speed through the air have always been lethal but when marketed properly, people will think that they are immune to the effects of these small metal shards entering their flesh. Republicans have also recently revealed that anyone who can run faster than seven-hundred miles per hour will actually be able to avoid most modern bullets fired from any projectile. They even recommended a Nike running shoe and iPod remote to help you avoid bullets while enjoying your favorite music.
Republican leaders also advised that with proper moral instruction, young people will learn that not only are bullets useful tools for problem solving, but they are actually good for the environment. After all, nothing bad ever happens while mining and if we don’t get the metal out of the earth, then some Communist will come along and take it from us.
Everything Including the Kitchen Sync

Everybody hates Microsoft. I get it. Buy a Mac! Use Linux! Get an iPod! Zunes blow! Now that that’s out of the way…Microsoft Sync in ford automobiles rocks. Here’s what happened: I needed a four-door automobile due to the changing conditions in my life. I sadly and reluctantly traded in my beautiful 1999 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. I got hosed over on the deal, but what else was I going to do with the car? I have to get rid of it, and I did avoid having to make additional expensive repairs to it - and now I have a four-door vehicle, a 2009 Ford Fusion.
The vehicle came with two features that were semi-interesting but did not seal it for me: Sirius satellite radio and Microsoft Sync technology.
I have been enjoying the Sirius satellite radio, but mainly for the variety of channels. Most of the talk radio available is crap and some of the music stations are repetitive. It’s nice having the weather channels available, I just wish I lived in Boston, Philly, Phoenix, or San Fran (etc.) so I could actually benefit from them. The verdict is out on whether or not I will renew the Sirius subscription when the six-month introductory period expires. I will keep y’all posted.
The Microsoft Sync technology? Rock on! I haven’t figured out all the commands just yet, but I also haven’t read the guides. The buttons are intuitive enough that once you figure out how to hit your voice activation, you just sort of figure out what to say and when. The only thing my dealer helped me with was the initial sync to my bluetooth phone on the night I bought my car. All the rest of the commands and buttons I have figured out through trial and error. It has been pretty easy and the only struggles I had were in the beginning when I couldn’t figure out how to exit a menu easily.
All of the buttons you need are right on the steering wheel and to answer the phone you simply hit the picture of a phone on your radio (right next to your tuning knob).
What this technology gives you is hands-free cell phone communication while driving. Not only is it awesome, it should be required for any cell phone owners who wish to talk while driving.
Microsoft hit a home run with this implementation of their sync technology and it doesn’t require you to reboot your car, ever.
And if this weren’t enough, Microsoft is taking it a step further in their F-150s. It’s only a matter of time before our dashboards are merely an extension of our Facebook profiles. Imagine the update, “Bongo is heading south on 35W near exit 233B, Longitude 44.960699, Latitude, -93.269355.” Frightening? Yes, but hopefully there will always be an opt-out clause.
Honoring a major scientific contribution

A seminal chapter in the history of modern neuroscience closed this Tuesday when Henry Gustav Molaison passed away at age 82. Mr. Molaison, previously known only as H.M., underwent experimental surgery in 1953 to remove part of his hippocampus as treatment for severe seizures. After surgery, Mr. Molaison found he could not form new memories of people, places or experiences, although his personality, the memories of his life prior to surgery, and his capacity to form other types of memories (e.g. muscle memory) remained intact. His case revolutionized our understanding of memory and identity, and is familiar to any student of modern psychology or medical science. The New York Times has an interesting piece on his life, including accounts from the scientists who worked with him over the years.
“He was a very gracious man, very patient, always willing to try these tasks I would give him,†Dr. Milner, a professor of cognitive neuroscience at the Montreal Neurological Institute and McGill University, said in a recent interview. “And yet every time I walked in the room, it was like we’d never met.â€
Thank you, Mr. Molaison.

This appears to only have dropped 15 hours ago, so spread the word:

We have only been waiting like 8 years for this, but tomorrow “Christmas on Mars” is finally coming out (on DVD/CD). This marks the end of some extreme waiting that I’ve been doing lately. Later on in the week, on Thursday, we will get to read the NTSB’s cover up about the 35W bridge collapse. What we wont read is about how the construction crew caused the bridge to fall down, but if you were driving over it that month it would be pretty clear that that was the problem… Here’s to waiting!
