[info]renegade_geek is a substitute science teacher, which I think is kind of cool. I say, you put a mad scientist in front of a classroom, and cool stuff can develop. To that end, I'm going to list some of the cool bits that have come out of science over the last decade or two, that would be cool to cover in the classroom (although, admittedly, problematic).

Telemarketers... I Hate Those Guys... [Jun. 18th, 2009|08:51 pm]
[Current Mood | irate]

What the hell's going on? For the last three days, I've been getting about one telemarketing call a day at various times of the day: 8:30 AM, 1:15 PM, 3:00 PM. And now, since 6:00 PM, I've gotten one call every hour on the half-hour. All from different numbers.

Do not call list, my shiny metal ass.

Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal [Jun. 17th, 2009|08:07 pm]
[Tags|]
[Current Mood | amused]

I found a new webcomic I like. Entitled "Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal," it's an absurdist comic along the lines of A Softer World or Perry Bible Fellowship. It is fairly irreverent (of all religions), very cheeky, and moderately well-educated, at least about the history of science. And sometimes, a mix of all of those.

Storm Photography [Jun. 17th, 2009|06:28 pm]

[Current Mood | jubilant]

I am a mild weather geek, which is most evident in my enjoyment of good storm photography. One of the better ones is Ryan McGinnis, who took some amazing photos of the storm that created the June 5 tornado that got a lot of airtime on the Weather Channel. Why is this significant? Well, this is all part of Vortex 2, a huge project to try to determine the whys and hows and whens of tornadoes and this particular tornado was the first one that Vortex 2 managed to pick up on. It sucks to create a hge $12 million project, only to have to wait a month for the conditions to be right for the instruments to take readings.

Me, I just like a good storm.

I love Fark.com -- it's sort of a news aggregation site where people can come up with their own headlines for the articles they submit links to. The headlines some people come up with are pure comedy gold.

There's an article in the Showbiz section today, titled "MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice set to appear together on new reality show. U Won't Watch This"
