British comedy can go either way – and this time it’s a pure win. The In Betweeners, a BBC production, is about a bunch of highschool kids who are not really nerds and not really popular, they are just kinda stuck somewhere in between. Tonight I just finished watching the final episode of the 1st season, and there was a line that was precious. It’s the end of the night, the prom is over, kids are slowly drifting out, a school administrator with little tolerance for petty children crap is standing back assessing the overall situation to which he says:

“Well done children, a fairly innocuous jamboree of adolescent nonsense. Fear not, the relationships that some of you have entered into tonight, well, they may seem like everything now, but they’ll be over in a matter of weeks. “

Google Earth, well known as an incredible tool along with Google Maps (and on my Droid, Google Navigation) – but some people are taking it to a whole new level as art. The image shown here is a portion of an image which was originally a $1MM photograph by artist Andreas Gursky, yet re-created by Florian Freier using Google Earth, photoshop and an inkjet printer.

Gods control panel – so simple yet refined – or is it? Shall we contemplate it’s simplicity? It’s lack of torture, grief and despair? Perhaps the lack of a “rapture” button and only one for the final countdown?

Twitter has reached celebrity status this week with CNN “breaking news” reporting Ashton Kutcher broke the 1 million followers mark on Twitter – then he was on Oprah this week teaching her how to use it – and she has.

Cryotank, huh? Well, you can only [...]

Anyone who has read my blog know that I go in erratic periods of activity. Sorry – it’s based upon my overall ability to have time to do it, be thorough and make a point, but more importantly, I must find proper inspiration. Sure, I could write many pieces daily if forced to [...]

As we continue to pollute our oceans and the nitrogen levels rise, scientists continue to find more and more interesting species of life.

The Hairy Kiwa is unlike anything ever seen before. Found at depths of 2,300 meters near thermal vents, the Kiwa’s pincers, legs, and antennae are covered in fine white celae, or hair. They’re also blind, as the benthic deep offers little or no light by which an animal could navigate. In fact, its eyes have devolved into an extra set of antennae for the creature. The Kiwa’s body is also strange, its abdomen reduced but not merged with the thorax, as in primitive crabs.

The blogosphere continues to grow and expand at an ever increasing rate, as does the number of new ‘writers,’ ‘journalists,’ and new breed of individuals who like to sit at home, in their pajamas, sipping coffee and scanning thousands of rss feeds daily and posting away.

You know, kinda like me! Well, times are continuing to develop more symbols of recognition, network affiliation and other points of reference to assist site vistors with signs of credibility. With so much to read these days, it helps when a simple symbol can lend at least some guidance, like movie and game ratings.

Well, now I wanna be a ‘SOB.’ Ahem, yes, I wanna be a ‘SOB.’ Stumbling along the site of ‘Successful Blog’ with the lovely host Liz Strauss, vis-a-vis some other site I can’t even recall at this time, I became instantly interested in what the site has to offer.
