A blog from a science nut, computer geek, sometimes philosopher, and a human. Based out of Denver, with a love of Antarctica, I seem to wander the world so who knows where I'll be in 6 months.
wonderfullyrich Bobby’s house is flapping in the wind. As one of the residents of New Orleans whose house was flooded by 3 breeches surrounding the Lower 9th Ward during Hurricane Katrina, she came back and paid 131,000 dollars for a house that’s a shell of completion. Her shell sits on 10 foot concrete stilts next to … Read more
This one’s is for anyone who’s reads their news from blogs or online content more then they do from newspapers. (it’s a bit technical in other words) I’ve become a fairly avid Google Reader fan as it’s a perfect way for me to get the new that is both interesting to me, thought provoking, and … Read more
At least once a day lately I am reminded how we live on a body based on several million years of randomly permutated designs that proved to be the most fit for the enviornment. Yet in most cases evolution was on a scale and of a term that no human has witnessed. In contrast our … Read more
For anyone who doesn’t have enough reading for the day, I’ve had a new feature running in the side bar of my blog which might contribute to it. Cough…You say, MORE stuff to read?

My brother sent me a link today asking why the Democrats don’t just explain why what the Republicans are saying about FISA is bulls*** instead of catfooting around and giving the Republicans the floor. I have to say that I’ve been left C-Span1 (the House floor) in the background of my desktop for the last … Read more
I wasn’t imagining that I would have had a problem with Colorado’s newest senator on this issue, but lo and behold he actually voted NOT to strike the provisions providing immunity.

Many of you asked what I was doing in urgent care and how urgent it was. I am fine, I just had yet another sinus infection and my Primary Care Physician is at GW University’s Medical Facility Associates (part of a Teaching Hospital) where getting a regular appointment is generally more then a week out. … Read more
