Having a Palm Ale since the bartender told me this was a popular beer. Um, why? This thing is terrible -- it tastes like a Coors product. I'm pretty sure I'm going to throw up. Anywho, I'm down here to check out the NYE festivities. Not so busy just yet. I think maybe I came down too soon. Some band called Nappy Roots is playing outside on a free street concert and they're not too bad, but that's about it as far as I can tell.

By the way, how do I make the little circle-thingy that is the symbol for "degrees" when citing the temperature? Is there a way to do that? Danke

Something is going on with G+. First, a lot of images aren't coming in -- instead I'm seeing that old box with the symbols in it like we used to see back in the 90s when an image didn't load.

For those of you who are paying attention... and by "those of you" I mean the person who accidentally stumbles upon this blog while searching for something interesting on the interwebz... I left Colorado and came to Florida to winter  here where I can still walk around barefoot and not have to worry about jackets, sweaters, snow or ice. Since I'm here, I wanted to explore Florida a little more. Last time I came down was this past summer when I came down for the final shuttle launch. Even though I grew up here we never explored much of what Florida has to offer and I found a really cool place that is barely an hour away from the town I grew up in called Bok Tower and Gardens  (and you can see my pictures from that day HERE ). My intent when I came down this time was to find more places that I didn't know about, places that were interesting and speak to Florida's culture as a state but that aren't touristy and internationally known attractions.  Do you ...

Science is bad for democracies. Oh wait, no, a well informed populace is good! for democracies! Then why are so many GOP candidates running on the ignorance bandwagon? Originally shared by Tom Eigelsbach Americans have trouble dealing with science, and one place that's especially obvious is in presidential campaigns, says Shawn Lawrence Otto, who tried, with limited success, to get the candidates to debate scientific questions in the 2008 presidential election. Otto is the author of a new book, "Fool Me Twice: Fighting the Assault on Science in America," which opens with a quote from Thomas Jefferson: "Whenever the people are well informed, they can be trusted with their own government." And if the people and their leaders aren't well informed and don't use scientific information to solve modern problems, Otto suggests, the United States could soon skid into decline.

Out in the middle of nowhere where my brother lives.

Just had a coversation with my brother. According to him, if you beat a dog or cat and it hasn't learned its lesson you just take if out to the country and let it go -- it will either survive or not. I told him that's why I will never leave my animals with him. He said my dog was the exception because it was trained. I asked him if he knew how long it took for me to train Rufus. He didn't care, either a dog was trained or it wasn't. Apparently for him: its just an animal not a member of the family. I asked him if his 8 year old daughter came "trained." He said that's different. I don't think so. (By the way, I treat Rufus better than he treats his daughter. Rednecks annoy me, even when I'm related to them.)

I really wish I could claim this post was a review of the Pirelli Angel tires, but it's not. Unfortunately, I bought some Pilot Road 2s this past spring and aren't through all the tread yet (even though I put a whopping 7,400+ miles on the PR2s) and I'm too poor to just go buy new tires all the time. However, I was talking to a fellow motorcycle rider today about the Angels and happened to mention how much I wanted a pair since I was such a huge fan of the Stradas . For all the marketing reasons I want the Angels, but when all is said and done, I really just want to be able to tell people I ride on the backs of Angels.  When I said that, another friend (who doesn't ride) looked at me and said, "Dude, you're the weirdest guy I know." I'm okay with that. :D

I have a friend who makes hand-made custom jewelry. She's looking for somewhere to sell her items, preferably with her own custom URL capabilities.

Sometimes I'm successful and sometimes I'm not. I've sent feedback on the mobile app numerous times but how many times can I repeat the same thing without becoming crazy? My Twitter and FB apps put any newcoming into a que until I choose to load them, why can't G+ mobile do something like that?

I just have to make this joke before I burst: Once again proving that English men are the equal of American women. [deep breath] Okay, I'm done now. Originally shared by Jim Eikner 'Vocal Fry' Creeping Into U.S. Speech: A curious vocal pattern has crept into the speech of young adult women who speak American English: low, creaky vibrations, also called vocal fry. Pop singers, such as Britney Spears, slip vocal fry into their music as a way to reach low notes and add style. Now, a new study of young women in New York state shows that the same guttural vibration—once considered a speech disorder—has become a language fad. Vocal fry, or glottalization, is a low, staccato vibration during speech, produced by a slow fluttering of the vocal chords (listen here: http://goo.gl/bRtz7 ). Since the 1960s, vocal fry has been recognized as the lowest of the three vocal registers, which also include falsetto and modal—the usual speaking register. Speakers creak differently according to...
