A friend pointed me to the Animal Planet Dog Breed Selector and of course I had to check it out to see what my ideal match is according to them. Given how much Audrey has been whining this weekend since it’s been too rainy to get her much exercise, I wondered if there were a [...]

Animal Planet Dog Breed Selector
10Jul06For a more in-depth review of this bike with more photos, check out my extended review of the 2006 Trek 7.5 FX Disc on Reviewfoo. Lately I’ve been getting back into biking for many reasons, including the health benefits (I can certainly use the exercise), fun, and of course it’s not a bad idea given [...]
What Are The Odds of Dying?
01Jun06In 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. [...]
From a look around the baseball sites on the intarweb, it looks like my friend Mike Thompson (recent game coverage) is most likely going to be called-up on Wednesday or Thursday to be added into the starting pitcher rotation for the San Diego Padres! Given their recent trades and injuries, as well as the fact [...]
Recent Shows and Events
02May06The past few months have really just been a blur. For whatever reason I’ve been uncharacteristically busy, even beyond the usual school and work craziness. Seems like I’ve been on a bit of a streak for seeing live shows, though I’ve been so busy that I haven’t had a chance to post about them. In [...]
Dance Revolution
23Apr06I like to challenge myself to do things that I would normally never do every now and then (and 99.9999% of most computer geeks would never do period) just to expand my boundaries a bit, keep things fresh, embarass myself to stay used to humility, push myself to try things that I know I’m naturally [...]
I came across a great blog post from Glenn Greenwald outlining how logically irrational Bush supporters are about anyone who does not agree with his policies. Essentially if you aren’t a follower, you’re immediately cast as a “liberal”, which is apparently a bad word. It used to be the case that in order to be [...]
When To Buy Organic
18Jan06Since it’s been a bit quiet here for the past couple of weeks, I thought I’d post an interesting Consumer Reports article about when it makes sense to buy organic food. Sometime during the last summer I started making changes in the things that I eat and gradually I’ve been eating more and more organic [...]
Something that not many people know about me is that I’m fairly left-brained and in general would consider myself fairly artistic. I grew-up doing charcoal sketches and eventually moved to the electronic medium with the advent of the web. Though I’ve always done programming since a young tike as well, my start in the web [...]
Physiology of Introverts
29Nov05An interesting piece popped-up today in Yahoo News about the differences in brain activity between introverts and extroverts. Researchers using brain scans have found introverts have more brain activity in general, and specifically in the frontal lobes. When these areas are activated, introverts are energized by retrieving long-term memories, problem solving, introspection, complex thinking and [...]
