The Harsh Reality…

Have you ever been to the Pantheon?  If you have not, perhaps this will mean nothing.  The Pantheon was a moment in time, capturing time, reflecting time and perhaps it was just an illusion.  I blame Foucault!
One has to realize that life is coming to an end.  Or does one?  Well, if you do realize [...]

Harper’s Magazine

I received an advertisement in the form of a personal letter to try and get me to subscribe to Harper’s Magazine.  Normally I would just throw these things away, but I was particularly bored and there was not a single attractive female was sunbathing at my apartment pool near my mailbox, so I opened it.  This [...]

Hell’s Kitchen season finale

I think I just heard a collective “Damn it!” from The Microcosm faithful at the end of the Hell’s Kitchen season four finale.
No, our boy Petrozza did not win this season. Unfortunately, he fell prey to some poor organization skills and lackluster prepping in the final episode. He still made it close with some clutch [...]

Breast option available?

This article from comes to us by the lovely Adrienne So, who writes for Wired magazine.
I’ll do a FJM style observation of parts of the article that I thought were, uhm, interesting, but you really should check it out for yourself. Some of the comments are funny as well. Hit the jump for the good [...]

NBC thinks penguins are in the Arctic!

Now there are errors made in the editing room all the time, but when you splice an image of penguins on a “depleting ice-pack” while discussing the ills of global warming, there needs to be some reevaluation.  Take a segment about a cute British girl and spice it up with some stock footage and you have [...]

Blogs are stupid

Blogs have become several things, none of them particularly useful.

Flight of the Conchords

These are just too good not to share.
If you are unfamiliar with the band Flight of the Conchords, consider this your introduction. These guys are fantastically hilarious!

More vids after the jump.

Non Sequitur

It is funny how the weather works. It is the middle of April and there is a cold front in Louisiana.. I am sure the global warming climate models can explain it.. I’m just not sure that I’m buying it, and neither is this guy.
Does that mean I’m going to stop reading books? I [...]
