Is a Kiss Just a Kiss?
The New York Times takes a look at the kissing controversies of the past week and plugs in some cool historical anthropology, too.

Late one night in grad school, I was up studying way too long. You know the kind of studying where it’s just making things worse by staying up so late. When I get really tired I tend to get a little goofy and laugh at anything. Well, I took a break from studying and went [...]

Wednesday, April 4, 2007
A classic from 2004: The move to outsource white-collar jobs is moving up the company hierarchy to the incompetent manager level.

I’m not sure how the dream started but I found myself in the middle of a worldwide panic. I think I was watching the news. There was some sort of catastrophe approaching. In my dream it seemed to take the form of an earthquake. I was in a large city and the buildings were collapsing [...]

Saturday, January 27, 2007
There is a hilarious article on cracked.com about 80’s cartoons and how they’ve effected a generation of adults.

“Though science can explain many strange phenomena, some mysteries remain to be solved—often because there is simply not enough information to reach a definitive conclusion.

Wednesday, January 10, 2007
I know you’re curious what Rupert has been up to. Here’s a special report from Roy Stemman of the Paranormal Review. Stemman says, “Do try this at home: The good news is that anyone, anywhere in the world, can also try many of them, without needing to attend a workshop. It’s a case, says Sheldrake, [...]

Tuesday, November 7, 2006
Anyone who knows me knows of my endless fascination with all things hyperdimensional.
