I just ran across a brilliant article titled “Nightclubs are hell. What’s cool or fun about a thumping, sweaty dungeon full of posing idiots?” in the Guardian Unlimited. There are many statements in there that hold true for me, but I think this is my favorite:

I really wish I’d taken my own advice a couple of years ago and tried to sell my place to instead rent for awhile. The bubble has burst, and it’s not pretty.
Stocks take a turn for the worse as investors scoff at the Fed’s decision to step in yet again, this time […]
About all that I can do here is provide a link, perhaps an excerpt, and say “wow”.
How do I dare say this to you moronic war supporters who are “Supporting our Troops” and waving the flag and all that happy horse shit? I’ll tell you why. I’m a Marine and I served my tour in […]
SpaceX launched their second rocket today and made it to space! A lot of us around the office were watching yesterday but the launch was canceled, and I simply forgot to look again this afternoon as I was busy at work. We have a vested interest as SpaceX’s founder is the brother […]

During the process I’ve noticed my entries which are the most organically popular happen to be my reviews and experiences with various products.

In an attempt to convice Lindsey of how irrational her fear of bears is, I came across an “Odds of Dying” list by the National Safety Council.
Among the things which you are more likely to be killed by than an animal: poisoning, being a pedestrian, being electrocuted, dying in a fire, and many others.

I came across a PDF version of an article printed in Caltech’s Engineering & Science titled “The Price Is Right Mysterious” which discusses some basic economic algorithms for various items such as computers, flights, groceries, etc. I’ve always had a minor interest in Economics, and of course I like to save money, so I […]
An interesting piece popped-up today in Yahoo News about the differences in brain activity between introverts and extroverts.
