Speaking of Engadget, the UofA was mentioned in a recent article:

Yeah, I've been keeping up with Steorn.

To be honest, I don't know what to make of them. Their gimmick sounds implausible and impossible. I thought for sure they were hawking snake oil.

But then I read the dude's interview that he did with engadget, and he just sounded so candid about everything; even after all the harsh criticism he's getting.

I believe that he honestly actually thinks he created a perpetual-motion device. Even if it doesn't actually work, I think he truly believes that it does.

He's either a genius mistaken for an idiot, or simply a mistaken idiot.

For all our sakes, I hope it's the former, but I believe it's the latter.

I think Bush is trying to make dissent illegal.

So Par and Al...
Do I hear SNL in the itinerary?

So...my sister is moving to Japan in a week - and she's having a goodbye party this Saturday at Hudson's on Campus (after 8:30pm). So...anyone who wants to come, come!

No, we weren't close, but we got a great shot of the steam rising and engulfing the Chrysler Building.

Also, Rob Riggle and Horatio Sanz are okay (although they do Simon and Garfunkel pretty well), Reggie Watts blows my mind, and Demetri Martin is always hilarious.

And together in Central Park they're awesome. (Apologies for the shakiness of my brother's video.)

weekend so close......

wow... talk about knitting for a great cause...


a chemo wig with a twist.

don't worry, Par, asbestosis isn't thought to occur under short-term exposure... you should be fine. you're not living in a mine, you're just visiting for a week...
