The Friendly Skies

My trip home is off to an auspicious start with Delta canceling our flight and running us up to Japan on a United flight an hour later.

Unfortunately this guy won't be one of our flight attendants at any point in tomorrow's journey...

Time Traveling

I'll be headed back home after about a month in Singapore tomorrow.  Things should spring back into action around a bit once the looooong flight is over.

My favorite part of making this journey is that the flight from Japan to the US will technically land before it took off, don't think too hard about that one though.

A Sojourn In Singapore

Is the whimsically titled class that will round out my grad school experience and take me to Singapore for the next several weeks.

While I'll have internet access I expect posting to be light at best here, instead a few of my classmates and I are giving tumblr a spin so check us out at Nic Schoolin Singapore.

Not Just A Good Idea, It's The Law

At least the GOP hasn't escalated its attack on science to repealing the law of gravity yet...



Seriously though, we're lucky that most of these anti-environmental bills are just coming out of the House and then trailing off and not going anywhere.  If you care about the environment and the future well being of mankind though, make sure you keep paying attention and that you let your representatives in Washington know how you feel from time to time.

Tastes Like Winning

Alright, I officially think that Charlie Sheen is in on the joke, at least to some extent.

Charlie Sheen's Winning Recipes from Charlie Sheen

Regardless of what you think is going on here the man seems to be enjoying himself; if he is having a melt down it's about the most productive one in history.  He's also keeping millions of people entertained, is working, and may well be laughing all the way to the bank.  At the very least he does appear to be, as he put it, winning the internet.

Then again he could just be nuts.

The Offseason

It's always a long cold winter for baseball fans, some of whom watch way too many shows on the sport with quite a cast of characters doing the commentating.  If that's not how you spent your winter Batting Stance Guy has the cliffs notes version for you...




I'm glad the season starts soon.
