I think it would be cool to start recording the information that interests me or that I learn in any given day, starting today…

• I found out that TV shows are not making it DVD because of music licensing… That seems extremely bizarre to me…
• The carbon-dating clock has been calibrated even further back, now accurate to within a dozen years or so going back abotu 26,000 years thanks to ice core samples and tiny fossils on the bottom of the ocean.
• A 23-pound lobster named ‘Buddy’ is going to the zoo instead of being eaten. Good for him. He’s possibly 100 years old and the bastards at People Eating Tasty Animals offered $350 for him. Jerks.
• A new mummy in Egypt, approximately 2500 years old, was just discovered by accident. Crazy.
• USA Today is writing about the kind of driver’s ed I’ve always talked about. I’m definitely sending Syd to a place like that.
• This is the kind of book I’d like to be able to read. Drat, I need to learn more math…
• Now I can finally find a planet and name it after myself. Sweet!
• Jennifer Michael Hecht has written a fascinating book that I am now reading.
• Talk about a sport that can’t do anything right… Baseball elected NOBODY to the hall of fame this year… again.
• And in the “well, duh” category, somebody did a study that over half of football players are obese. Also in the news, the sky is blue and that thing in it shining during the day is called “the sun”. What’s next? Studies to prove sumo wrestlers are fat?
• A new generation of popup ads that defeat popup blockers are infesting the good web browsers now. Why?!?!?!? We don’t want your fucking products! Stop annoying us with your ads!!!!!
• A new book will teach you to build your own Apple I. I am buying this book. Too cool for school.
• Jef Raskin died. The world is a poorer place for it. You should learn about who he was if you’ve ever used a computer.
• I really want to run a Commodore 64 on my cel phone. Finally, a good reason to have the things…
• The web as we know it is probably never going to replace good ol’ fashioned books because I want my words to stand still and last dammit, and apparently some people don’t.
• I’m with this guy. Religious people may try to live forever through faith, I think it is possible through technology, and likely in my lifetime. I’m going to take care of myself and prepare for it. Remember, it isn’t religion that cures diseases or allows humans to fly. It’s science. If living forever is going to come from anywhere, this is it.
• Nothing is ever obsolete when artists are around.
• The Vikings are idiots. This really pisses me off….
