Well, another year has come and gone. In just a few hours it’ll be 2009. Lots of people all around the planet are gearing up for some serious, I-can’t-remember-what-I-did-last-night celebrations. Others are having a simpler party with friends at their house. Still others are just settling in at home for a night focused on the ball drop, excitement, and reflection. My wife and I are going to put the kids to bed at their normal . . . → Read More: Mundane New Year’s Eve That’s not a euphemism. I actually felt the earth move last night. We had an 3.4 earthquake at midnight last night, with an epicenter about 5 miles from my house. This is the second earthquake in this area that I’ve been able to feel in the last 15 years. The epicenter for the first one was about a 40-minute drive away, and it felt like a huge truck was driving past my window at about . . . → Read More: I feel the earth move under my feet… …there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying… Glory to God – Merry Christmas to everyone! (I’ve sung Handel’s Messiah a few times, and listened to it countless times, and I like it more every time I hear it. Pure art. Do yourself a favor and listen to some more.) . . . → Read More: And suddenly… I’m trying out a new theme. There are definitely pieces of it I really like, but it’s a radical change from what I’m used to. The biggest thing that might keep me from using it is that it’s a fixed width (size doesn’t change with your browser size). There are a couple other things that I’m not sure about, but generally I think it’s pretty clean and has potential. I figured I’d check in with . . . → Read More: Your opinion: new theme? I don’t know a whole lot about Wolverine’s origins other than what is in the X-Men movies. For some reason I never read the comics versions. I’m pretty excited to see this. Plus, it’s got Gambit. I know some people don’t like him, but he was one of my favorite X-Men from the TV cartoons. Not sure how that helicopter thing is going to work out… that looks a bit cheesy in the trailer, . . . → Read More: Wolverine movie trailer To get us through the winter repeats, some shows are giving us webisodes. That includes Battlestar Galactica and Heroes. In both cases, the short series are meant to provide a lead-in to the new episodes, now still a month away. Heroes picks up during the final moments of the “Villains” finale and focuses on one of the recruits for the injection program: Battlestar Galactica‘s offering seems to be following Felix Gaeta on a somewhat . . . → Read More: Webisodes and commercials This show, loved by millions, and seen every year since it originally aired in 1965, would never be produced today in our politically correct world. It’s just too controversial. This show has it all: small children berating each other every few minutes; greed; self-centeredness; exclusionary behavior; insensitivity… . . . → Read More: A show too controversial to make it to production today… The Dark Knight Christopher Nolan, director of The Dark Knight, has stated that he’s in no hurry to make the second sequel to Batman Begins. He has reason to be cautious. Historically speaking, the third installment in a franchise has been, shall we say, lacking. Superman III, Spiderman 3, Terminator 3, Batman Forever, Rocky III, Police Academy 3… need I go on? Nolan’s got the right idea: “I don’t know why they’re hard to . . . → Read More: Dark Knight takes it slow, plus Robot Chicken and Terminator Three years ago today, at 11:48pm, I wrote these amazingly insightful words: Check it out… Friday, December 9th, 2005 Looks like I am officially blogging. I am too cool for words. (Ironic, isn’t it.) Thusly did this, my first blogging experience, begin. Pretty sad, really, but there you have it.

You know why brain injury is so bad? Because cells in the brain don’t regenerate. Once you kill them, they’re dead. No healing. Now there’s a workaround on deck. While growing cells in petri dishes has been done for more than a century, this old technique is being applied in ground-breaking new . . . → Read More: Human Brain Regeneration |
