My dad just sent me a really cool electron microscope image of a wood or heathland ant (formica fusca) carrying a microchip. The longer I looked at it, the more the question came… what is an ant doing with a microchip? The only answer I could come up with was based on the type of [...]
Seems that Taco Bell is being sued over the contents of the beef fillings for its tacos and other products. Their spokespeople claim that they are using the same beef as that which is sold in supermarkets. I don’t find that to be the interesting part of the story. Deep in the verbiage of the story [...]
I am amazed in my own life how poorly I communicate with those I think I know the best. Seems I’m not alone. A recent study published in the January issue of the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology concluded that married people may think they communicate well with their partners, but the truth is that [...]

I dropped my slightly used Christmas tree off at the tree collection point at the middle school the other day. I really hated to see the fellow go. I’d scored a great deal waiting until six days before Christmas to pick it up and had gotten a beautiful 7′ fur for $15. A little TLC [...]
Aren’t some things just fascinating? Car odometers rolling over to 100,000 (or 10,000) is such an example. Why should that arrest our attention? But it does. The same is true of dates that are out of the ordinary. The changing of the millenium was one of the more momentous; remember all the cryptic 01.01.00 date [...]
