it’s official: i’m getting old
Got a haircut today. As usual, trim around the top, #2 on the sides… Then the haircutter tells me to close my eyes, so I'm guessing she's gonna snip the front of my hair (are they called bangs on guys?) and is trying to prevent hair from falling in my eyes. Thoughtful, that. Much to […]

life on mars?
Well, NASA's Opportunity rover has snapped a picture (scroll down) of a bunny on Mars. Space.com has coverage of the bunny here. I'd be willing to bet this shows up in next month's Playboy. 😉

According to Jon Stewart over at the Daily Show, the results of the war on terrorism are one police state (in Iraq) and one Socialist State. Democracies still to come.

So, everyone wanders around campus a little slower than usual because everyone wants to enjoy the wonderful weather. So, like everyone else, I'm walking across campus.

sweet, sweet irony
So I go to the local McDonalds for lunch today, and staring at me on the way in is the little section of newspaper stands. The USA Today headline was quite fitting: “Obesity on track to become No. 1 killer.” Article is on-line here. For those curious, I still ate at the golden arches.
