  • There is a program on A&E called “Beyond Scared Straight”. The premise is as simple as it is ridiculous. Troubled teens are forced to spend a night in an adult prison where it is the job of staff and inmates to abuse and terrify them. This is intended to deter them from their current lifestyle…

  • Salon’s Anonymous Love-In

    Salon.com ran an article entitled “Anonymous Big Year”. It is essentially a celebration of the self-styled hacker collective. But let’s try for some actual balanced coverage here. Sure they made a big fuss about SOPA/PIPA and they help organize protests when it’s something like the horribly useless Occupy movement. On the other hand, they cost…

  • Merry Christmas To All!

    I know it’s early yet (at least where I am) but I probably won’t have a chance to post later. I just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. I know that there are many, many people out there who don’t celebrate Christmas. That’s fine. I don’t need you to believe the same things I…

  • Science On The Internet

    If you’ve ever gone online, you’ve most likely encountered what I like to think of as Internet Science. I’m not talking about real science that actually makes the internet possible. I’m talking about the weird and special things you can find masquerading as science online. Among the most conspicuous, are the ads featuring “One weird…

  • I’m not a “Mayan Doomsday” believer. I just think there are some limits to how far a joke can go before the Universe hits “RESET”. If the following story isn’t a sign of the end times, it really should be. According to this article on oregonlive.com two boys aged 11 and 7 attempted to carjack…

  • Superior Court Judge Derek Johnson has been “publicly admonished”. Why? Because the California Commission on Judicial Performance is apparently just too weak and useless to fire him. You may now be wondering why I bear such animosity toward a person I’ve never met. Allow me to explain. During the sentencing hearing of a convicted rapist,…
