Phillies, TO, and Stoned Professors
A University of Florida professor was evidently bombed out of his mind during lecture. On video. He was fired the next day. Also, go Phillies. Evidently TO didn’t try to commit suicide, he’s just allergic to his painkillers, or maybe himself.

Visual Studio Express
I must be behind on this, but when did Microsoft release Visual Studio Express? It’s a free version of their Visual Studio, which includes Visual C++, Visual Basic, C#, etc. They’re vague on how it differs from the full blown version, but here’s their official description from the FAQ: Express Edition products are designed for…

Below are the stats for two baseball players. One is the 2005 rookie of the year, a candidate for MVP in 2006, and has hit 53 home runs this season. The other is just barely able to see Pirates of the Carribbean 2 without his mom buying the ticket for him. Player #1 Height: 6’4″…

Steve Irwin Killed by a Stingray!
This is definitely one of those things you can’t believe happened, but in retrospect can’t believe it didn’t happen sooner. The Crocodile Hunter, dead at 44 from a stingray. Television personality and environmentalist Steve Irwin has died from a stingray wound while filming off north Queensland. Friends believe he may have died instantly when struck…

When my Dad’s chemo stopped responding we tried to get him into a study at the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, MD with Dr. Steven Rosenberg. It turned out to be too late for my Dad, but the study showed great results in two patients.Two patients with advanced stages of melanoma, a particularly deadly skin…

So Long Pluto
So long Pluto, I hardly knew you from Uranus. I also think I found the dumbest article written about the topic.

Adrien Brody?
I saw a bunch of HTTP referrers from UniqueDaily.com today. It’s a site that posts user submitted links to weird stories and they must have been fans of the Ham Dog. But then I saw how they actually linked it (see August 18th)…Adrien Brody shows folks how to make The Ham DogReally? I guess I…

Thanks for Coming Out
Thanks to everyone who made it out to the show on Friday night. Without you guys there would have only been about two people there! I was definitely rusty and my voice/wrists/fingers started failing by the end of the show, but overall I had a good time. Grooveground is a cool venue, but it’s a…

AOL Leaks Searches
Back in the late 90’s, there used to be a search engine called Metacrawler that let you view the last ten searches put through their system. It was called MetaSpy and I used to be fascinated at the people who would search for www.hotmail.com. Occasionally you would see names float by of famous or non-famous…

The Ship
I started playing an online game called The Ship a few weeks ago, because the premise sounded a little like Odd Man In to me. It’s a 3D first person shooter that uses the Halflife 2 engine. The basic idea is this: You’re stuck on a cruise ship and forced to play a game of…

Greatest Software Ever?
This site posted a list of what they thought was the greatest software ever written. I decided I’d come up with a list of my own personal favorite free (or nearly free) programs. 10. Trillian (Instant Messaging) – I used to use IM a lot more, but when I do it’s always through Trillian. My…
