This summer has been great, and blogging has made it all the better. But the time has come for me to say goodbye and wish all who’ve come the best. It’s off to school for me. Perhaps one day I’ll revive DebaterBrawl in the spirit of free speech. For now, I’m sure there’s another zealot [...]

The Onion is at it again, peeling back the layers and sharing with all. Portrayed in an apocalyptic world, Gore places his fictitious son in a rocket in hopes that he will be accepted as man’s last clean gasp for survival. In good ol’ comic book fashion, the narrative of a cast away politician is [...]

What do people think of Windows Vista when they don’t know it’s Windows Vista? Microsoft took it to the streets disguising Windows Vista as codename “Mojave,” the “next Microsoft OS,” so regular people who’ve never used Windows Vista could see what it can do–and decide for themselves.

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) — A magnitude-5.4 earthquake has struck just east of Los Angeles, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
According to the USGS archives, it’s the biggest California earthquake since September 28, 2004, when a 6.0 quake was recorded. It’s too soon to tell if any major structural damage was done, but the shake [...]

Fifty years later and we’ve done the impossible. We’ve blasted chimps, men, women and shuttles out of this world. We’ve walked on Mars and landed on the moon. We’ve put up our flags, sent up our satellites, we’ve even come together to live in outer space for months and years at a time. NASA [...]

The launch of Cuil search engine was announced on the front cover of Blogrunner (bringing news at blog speed). I found the site to be a novelty. The company claims they’ve found a way to reduce indexing costs, which means they run their search engine a lot cheaper than Google does with supposedly better search [...]
