Rainy Wednesday

That describes the condition outside.

Just rain.

And lots of it.

And PA will still turn around and tell everyone that we are in a drought.

They do it every year.

It’s like tradition now or something.

As a Gmail user, I congratulate Google on coming up with an email system that doesn’t suck.

See the whole press release here.

Five years ago yesterday, Gmail starting giving people a gig. What started as an internal tool for Google employees is now used by tens of millions of people around the world in 52 languages.

In honor of the occasion, you may have noticed a little cake on the Gmail homepage today.

BSG: Daybreak, Part 3

I had no idea there would be or was a part 3.

My bad.

All that bad stuff I’ve been saying about Ron Moore…

…I take it back.

Part 3 answered questions and was a brilliant ending to the series.

Yeah, I said it.

BSG: Daybreak, Part 2

Stupid. Only makes sense if you smoke a lot of pot.

Closure? Ah, none.

That can’t be the very last episode can it?

Humans: Give us Hera back.

Cylons: Give us resurrection back.

Humans: Deal.

Cylons: Deal.

The end.

The Curious Case of…

…common sense.

I’ve been saying for as long as I can remember that removing essential foods from our diet is more likely to have a negative impact than the positive impact the industry who makes fake butter (for instance) is hoping to achieve.

We remove butter from our diet because we think it’s bad for us without ever realizing that butter contains a basic component that we require to live a healthy life. With that being said, I give you the “cure” for peanut allergies.

What’s the cure? You ask.

Peanuts. Imagine that.

The new therapy works similarly to allergy shots, which haven’t proved safe against food allergies. Exposure to increasing amounts of peanut flour gradually builds up tolerance. Blood tests show that the immune system begins to ignore the peanut flour instead of attacking it.

Thank you Captain Obvious.
