04.01.08How Will Smith has caused me to reflect on life, sort ofSo while perusing an LA Times Oscar 2008 photo gallery, I came upon a very disturbing fact.

Why is this disturbing?Basically, as I near 30-years-old, I realize that I've watched pretty much the entire career of Will Smith.

03.05.08The most amazing machine you will see todayThe mechanized tree harvester! Now I'm not into deforestation, but these things are awesome.Let's just hope that Valmet, Komatsu and John Deere don't decide to make automated, driverless versions. That's all we need is these killing machines going 'Maximum Overdrive' on us.

03.02.08‘The Onion’ strikes againIdiom Shortage Leaves Nation All Sewed Up In Horse PiesA crippling idiom shortage that has left millions of Americans struggling to express themselves spread like tugboat hens throughout the U.S. mainland Tuesday in an unparalleled lingual crisis that now has the entire country six winks short of an icicle.Since beginning two weeks ago, the deficit in these vernacular phrases has affected nearly every English speaker on the continent, making it virtually impossible to communicate symbolic ideas through a series of words that do not individually share the same meaning as the group of words as a whole.
