Get Off The “#1 Most Deranged” Blog, Dan, Ya Big Dope!

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

LewRockwell.com, a popular anarcho-capitalist/paleolibertarian blog run by successors of Austrian School economist Murray Rothbard (and one of my favorite blogs) is the #1 Most Deranged Blog according to talk radio personality Mark Levin.

Life: 30 Dumb Inventions

Monday, September 28th, 2009

Life Magazine has a photo gallery of "30 Dumb Inventions from the Mid-1900s" (wow) Some, like the Baby Cage and the Dog Restrainer, were just tasteless. Others, like the Goodyear Illuminated Tires and the Flying Platform, I thought were pretty cool. The Finnish Portable Sauna looks like a predecessor to the modern Snuggie. A predecessor [...]

Top 5 Fatally Catchy Songs

Sunday, September 27th, 2009

Before music and the computer got together, songs would be in your head all day long. One time in 4th grade (1994) I went on a camping trip and as there was no radio there, a Madonna song from the radio on the car was stuck in my head the entire three days I was [...]

From Rolling Stone via Mediaite.com: Like, if a conversation with a guy is going somewhere I don’t like, you can manipulate it and build a dynamic that causes that person to fear you sexually.

The column cited the "Inclusive Version": "For God so loved the world that God gave God’s only Child, so that everyone who believes in that [...]

TI-83+/84+ Blood Alcohol Calculator?

Sunday, September 20th, 2009

By Ian Campbell, via ticalc.org: I wrote this in a really boring class last week. Tell it how many drinks you’ve had, what you weigh, your gender, and how long you’ve been drinking, and it will give you your BAC. I know it’s a very simple program, but it’s fairly accurate and very useful!
