Mark Morford of the SF Chronicle explains why “you shouldn’t eat them either”:http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/gate/archive/2004/01/30/notes013004.DTL: bq. … U.S. genetically modifies billions of its chickens and injects them with hormones and chemicals and toxins and feeds them ground-up chicken parts mixed with [...]
This week’s “Friday Five”:http://www.fridayfive.org/comments.php?id=117_0_1_0_C… You have just won one million dollars: 1. Who do you call first? My wife, duh.

I’ve signed up for Blizzard’s WoW (“World of Warcraft”:http://www.blizzard.com/wow/) beta, their latest game based on the Warcraft universe. Wouldn’t it be grand if I got selected to play? Cough, cough, I think I’ve come down with a cold… Go “sign up”:http://www.blizzard.com/register/wowbeta and see if you too can join the lucky few who get to play [...]
Another good example of why I’m vegan is a new film titled “Super Size Me: A Film of Epic Portions”:http://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/entertainmentstorydisplay.cfm?storyID=3545438&thesection=entertainment&thesubsection=film&thesecondsubsection=general. Even on my worst day, I didn’t eat three fast food meals but eating greasy pizza everyday for two years certainly wasn’t a good idea. We all love to eat food, hell, I’m addicted to [...]
I give you “Pimps At Sea”:http://www.bungie.com/products/pimps/pimpsatsea.htm. Damn Bungie, you can still make a great game. Halo can’t hold a candle to Pimps.
Eric poses the question of the day, “How much do you pay for a haircut?”. The simple answer for me is as little as possible. I dislike getting my hair cut greatly. The main reason for this probably stems from childhood where my mother would force my brother and I to Supercuts to get a [...]
But you can’t hide from the geo-political outsourcing machine. “Wired discusses this topic”:http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/12.02/india.html and as many of you know, I do follow this kind of stuff very closely but do not discuss my opinions on this topic openly due to self censorship. “Thanks to James”:http://james.seng.cc/archives/000287.html for the article! Update: Ok, I can’t take it. I [...]
Robert Scoble, a Microsoft employee, has posted some interesting “insights” into why you shouldn’t buy an iPod. His “first comments”:http://radio.weblogs.com/0001011/2004/01/26.html#a6361 were related to Microsoft’s WMA technology and how it’s superior to Apple’s use of AAC (an “open audio format”:http://www.dolby.com/company/is.ot.0011.TechOverview.03.html created by Dolby, Sony, AT&T, and Fraunhofer IIS). I’ve posted quite a few comments on his [...]
Added a few new albums this evening. With Aiden turning one over the weekend, the “first birthday album”:http://www.snapturtle.com/gallery/aiden1stbday is now showing. The second year Aiden album with the “first month entry for January”:http://www.snapturtle.com/gallery/aiden012004 is also showing in the gallery. Someone mentioned that I hadn’t posted the Christmas photos yet. With the move and all I [...]
Just thinking about all the crazy possibilities with the “Mars rovers”:http://marsrovers.nasa.gov/ and the “new pictures”:http://marsrovers.nasa.gov/gallery/all/opportunity.html from the “Opportunity” lander make me giddy. Landing “near paved like bedrock”:http://marsrovers.nasa.gov/gallery/press/opportunity/20040125b/Pancam_Postcard_WedgeV_bw-B22R3_br.jpg? Are you kidding me? Oh wait, all you conspiracy theorists think Bush planted it… don’t you? Go NASA! And say “Hi” to Fred Flintstone for me.
