Knoxville Brewers Jam

Heads up! The Knoxville Brewers Jam is the weekend on Saturday. I have never been but I hear it is a good time. Also, they are limiting the tickets this year so you might do well ordering them online.

Dow Down Again

As of right now the Dow is down today about 230 points. Is this ever going to end? I thought the bail-out was supposed to help.

Personal Info Consolidation

The federal government now wants to consolidate everyone's personal info in one database. I don't like this idea. Hackers are very resourceful. They also have shown a relentlessness that prove that any system plugged up to the network is hackable in some way. I don't feel safe with the prospect of one hacker being able to get into the database and get access to all my information, let alone millions of Americans.

Premature Ejaculation

There you go guys. You no longer have to blame a lack of self-control. It seems as though scientists may have linked premature ejaculation to a gene. The only problem is that I am starting to get slightly cynical about the mountain of articles like this one that have come out over the last few years. What purpose does it serve to "know" the gene? Besides, we don't even know how genes are turned off and on.

Comic Book Movie News

I won't lie. I very much enjoy comic book movies. This article about the upcoming movies due to be released have me rather excited. I just hope that they don't screw them up.

Ecto-1 For sale

I wish that I had 45 grand because I would buy this car. Think of all the ladies that I could get driving this sucker around campus.
