I’m sick of coins. So sick in fact that I don’t carry them around anymore and if you ask any of my friends I’m quite likely (after buying something) to just hand the nearest friend the pile of small metal bits and say “Happy birthday.” I dislike coins that much.
I think all money should be […]
I was watching something today and began to wonder how seeds know up from down when they’re buried in soil. This is what a super-quick web search revealed:
Link - In Space, the box with darkness shows the seeds don’t know what to do. They grow in all directions and the leaves are thin and pale […]
Talking to some friends we decided to have a contest to see who could come up with the most interesting new religion. Here’s mine:

It’s nothing really new -all chips have errors- but here’s a fun list of known errors in Intel’s Core chips.
Talking to a friend about this reminded me of a thought I’ve had for years. That if we do mount another mission to the Moon or the first manned mission to Mars I think that it’s […]
Man, I really wanted to call this blog entry “What’s Up Dock?” but refrained myself somehow.
