Holy shit

Ponder Pascal's Wager
You will frequently hear believers make the following rationalization:
Suppose you are right. Suppose there is no God. Then when I die as a believer, I have lost nothing. I just die, as a man that devoted his life to love and morals. But if you, as a non-believer, are wrong and I am right, you have to spend an eternity in hell. See, I have nothing to lose, but you have everything to...

1. Even Koko the Gorilla Loved Him
Most people have heard of Koko, the Stanford-educated gorilla who could speak about 1000 words in American Sign Language, and understand about 2000 in English. What most people don’t know, however, is that Koko was an avid Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood fan. As Esquire reported, when Fred...

Crisis in Thailand..
This is my reponse to http://www.good.is/post/the-bangkok-massacre-sparks-deja-vu-for-samy/ and can also be read in the comments section in the link. I’m a huge fan of GOOD.is; anyway, it would be a good idea if the article is read before my response:
This issue is without a doubt complex and leaving out the details cannot be afforded. The ousted former-Prime Minister Thaksin did many things...

short storm
After that short little storm that passed through, LA has been absolutely beautiful this past week. It’s clear and the sun is toasty and the air is cool. I think I’ll go take pictures today.

autumnal equinox
I was brushing my teeth by the window and felt a nice gust come through and realized it was Autumn.. Like, realized it, but also felt it, smelled it. I smelled autumn. I’m not trying to be poetic. And I’m not crazy. And I hope you folks know what I mean…

ca academy of sci review pt. i
I’m keeping my eyes peeled for updates on Gliese 581d. Learned about this at the super awesome mind blowing experience (I think that’s a fair way to decribe it) that was the Academy of Sciences!! during the Planetarium showing.
