Drop the SOPA

SOPA sounds terrible.  I was going to take down my website today in protest, like Wikipedia has…but then I realized no one would notice.  So instead I’m going to link to a few helpful websites:

Gizmodo has an easy to understand break-down of why SOPA is so ridiculous.

Here’s why Wikipedia is blacked out.

Here’s Google’s take.  I think they have my favorite protest image, a big black bar over their logo.

Here and Here are some on-line protests…if these even do anything.

Everyone’s big advise is to contact your Representative and say you’re not for the bill.  SO GO DO THAT RIGHT NOW!!

Faster Than Light!

CERN Labs recently released findings of neutrinos moving faster than the speed of light.  If this is proven to be true, we’re going to have to rethink/throw out some popular theories of physics…so I’m told.

UARS Re-enters!

The Moon is Awesome?

I’ve been sick as a dog so I’m coming back slow…please forgive my tardiness…

I know you’re all curious to hear my thoughts about NASA bombing the moon a couple Fridays ago, so here you go: it was pretty weak.  Everyone made a big deal about it, you could barely see anything, and they found next to nothing in the dust cloud.  What a waste.  And to think I almost woke up at 4 am to try and watch the damn thing.  If you want to read about a BADASS Moon mission read about the LRO (Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter).  That thing’s the shit!  You should also watch MoonBase V!

THREE THINGS I’M EXCITED ABOUT

  1. Having the Flu.
  2. The Jeff Dunham TV Show.
  3. Girls Gone Wild on Blu-ray.
