I’m going to try something new.. I’m thinking of posting more media on the page as sort of a chronicle of whats going on.. anything from random snapshots to things that caused carbonated beverage to be expelled via my nasal passages…

The past few days have produced what one co-worker labeled the “trifecta of celebrity deaths.” At the time, Michael Jackson was practicing for his upcoming comeback tour. Said co-worker pondered who the third might be. Ed McMahon passed a couple days ago and then Farrah Fawcett early yesterday. Farrah chronicled her battle with cancer in a rather shocking and honest video diary, clips of which have been shown on the news quite frequently. Then yesterday, starting at 5:15pm, I started seeing news reports via my phone (@cnnbrk) that MJ had a heart attack. Reports that followed said he was in a coma and then that he had died. More reports said he hadn’t died, but then truth finally was confirmed. Michael Jackson was dead at age 50.

It’s official, the King of Pop is dead. We should all be very worried that a freaky half-white child molester is going to be climbing out of a grave somewhere in the near future and dance his way into our neighborhoods.

Guess again.

Ever get the strong urge to want to just be nerdy, or geeky for that matter? Me too… Today, this post is about your new calculator! This isn’t just any calculator, it is the chance we’ve been waiting for: information presented in cool graphs n stuff.

Welcome to the internet, Wolfram

I’ve wrapped up my 2nd-to-last quarter of school.. I can’t wait to graduate!

I really have no idea what to talk about.. I’m hoping that by the end of this paragraph I can have a topic in mind.. Time’s up, but I have been thinking quite a bit lately about what to write about.. such topics as:

• The California court’s decision to uphold Prop 8
• Something about soccer?
• How Aptana is rocking my world (aptana.com)
• This quaint little canoe/kayak rental shop I had the pleasure of renting from this weekend (churchvillelighthouse.com)
• The season finale of 24
• LOTRO (I’m cruising around in Angmar)
• My trip next week to DC
• Really really wanting to build another computer (Please someone have a few hundred $ laying around so I can be constructive)

So let’s chat it up.. lets get a discussion going on in the comments!

For your *DERP DERP* viewing pleasure

Meet ‘Ida,’ the big ambiguous break our institutionally brainwashed minds have been waiting for.  It sorta looks like a monkey, it sorta looks like a lemur and I think this is call for slamming the news with more propaganda cause we don’t have anything better to do.

Okay, even if evolution, as evolutionists urge, is simply an alteration and adaptation of genetics over time due to stress from the environment, we have to say: we’re done evolving. Also, one may have to deduce backwards-evolution is explicitly as much of a possibility as forward-evolution is. Without stress on our spoiled American lives, diabetes from a sedentary lifestyle seems to be more of a trend than growing eyes on the back of our head or those laser-fingers we’ve always dreamed of having. So if we are ‘done,’ have we really arrived to our most optimal state? It is mainstream idealists who suggest our ‘recent’ descendents in a sort of simplistic, barbaric and animalistic light, though praise our current state of comeuppance as though we’ve taken our place as masters of the universe. Have we really grown über so quickly, especially with a decrease in environmental stress? Humanism is scary; sounds more like Excusism. Even without any greater supposition than an accidental existance, evolution as a theory seems like one of those things that will regardless come to a “well that was dumb” status when looking back through the annals of history and science.

Before I say anything else, I would just like to thank the Dan and the other Zomgees for the opportunity to post on their prestigious blog. Now for the important stuff: I have a problem. Since I will be a college student as of August, I need to get a computer. This is where things get difficult because I have to balance portability, usability, cost, and the fun factor (gaming, etc.). I had originally wanted to get a Macbook, but now I am not so sure. I also though about doing a netbook and desktop, but with some of the things I have recently heard about netbooks, that might not be the best idea either. The main thing I want is something that has the functionality of a desktop paired with the portability of a laptop. That is my problem/question. What does the Zomgee community think (keeping in mind that I am not a millionaire)?

Edit: It seems the first time this was published, no emails were sent out, so I took ownership of the post and republished it ~Dan

“The world is veiled in darkness. The wind stops, the sea is wild, and the earth begins to rot. The people wait, their only hope, a prophecy…. “When the world is in darkness Four Warriors will come….” After a long journey four young warriors arrive, each holding an orb.”

The four warriors arrive in the town of Coneria. A fighter, a stalwart bastion of might, goes before the adventuring group to thwart evil with steel and shield. A thief: nimble in his dexterity, though not as brawny with the blade; he can avoid harm and escape from battle to live another day. A black mage, privy to the attacking magical arts, destroying his foes at whim, but he himself is physically vulnerable due to his fragile stature. A white mage, a benevolent magician whose healing words can help her group stand against the trials ahead of them. (wait, hold on, was this just the 100th post? yay us) (continue reading…)
