  • New Shirt

    June 30, 2009 / No Comments

    Every day I check out shirt.woot.com and see what their shirt of the day is. Last week they had a cool one, so I bought it.
    New Shirt from Woot!
    It’s a spaceman holding a flag up on the Sun.

    For some reason I felt like reading the tag. In small words on the tag is says, “Not to be used as pants.”. I love when companies do funny shit like that.

  • Canadian Health Care Myths

    June 29, 2009 / No Comments

    I think it’s quite obvious that the US needs some major health care reform. Many countries much poorer than ours do much better jobs at taking care of their people. You always here the horror stories of how bad the health care systems are in the UK and Canada. I have always questioned those stories. I have talked with Canadians, and none of them have any complaints about their health care. They actually think our health care is crazy. I just ran across this article debunking Canadian health care myths. I love articles debunking myths. I am sometimes over obsessed at finding the real truths. It’s always hard to tell who you should believe, but a little critical thinking goes a long way.

  • Space Station Tour

    June 27, 2009 / No Comments

    How awesome would it be to be in space? I’m not sure how much I would enjoy the takeoffs and landings, but being on the space station would be frickin’ cool.

  • Cost of Living

    June 25, 2009 / No Comments

    Cost of LivingI am always curious what the cost of living is like in other cities. The cost of living is relativity low in Fargo, so the pay in Fargo also tends to be lower than in other cities. CNNMoney has a nice little calculator to compare the cost of living in different cities. It’s fun to see what a comparable salary would be in other cities. Our housing costs here are relativity cheap. I searched a few cities and couldn’t find one with higher housing costs. Utilities on the other hand seem higher here than most places. Probably due to our awesome winters. (Link via Lifehacker)

  • The Baloney Detection Kit

    June 24, 2009 / No Comments

    I am a big Michael Shermer fan and have read many of his books. This video is a nice little introduction to skepticism, something I have been passionate about for some time now.

  • Dinosaur Jr. “Over It”

    June 16, 2009 / No Comments

    I was a huge Dinosaur Jr. fan in the early 90s, but wasn’t much of a fan of their last album they released in 2007. I just watched the video for their new song, “Over It”, that is off their new album coming out next Tuesday. I really liked the new song. It sounds like the old Dinosaur Jr. that I use to know and love, just with more gray hairs now. Here’s the video. It brought me right back in 1993.

  • “Weird Al” Yankovic “Craigslist”

    June 16, 2009 / No Comments

    I have been a “Weird Al” Yankovic fan since first hearing “Eat It” in forth grade. I have pretty much liked everything he had done since. I’m not a big fan of his latest song “Craigslist” though, but it’s not his fault. It’s a parody of the Doors, and I can’t stand the Doors. I can’t get over the crappy sound of the Doors to like the song. It’s a pretty cool video directed by Liam Lynch though.
