Football Shuffle

I enjoy watching college football games, primarily the Florida Gators.  But the constant shuffle of coaches between schools is a little crazy. As is the switching of schools to different conferences. All through my junior, senior high school years and my older sisters time at Florida, there was just Steve Read more…

Zombie Science

No, I don’t think we should reanimate long dead science fields like alchemy. I’m talking about the science behind zombies. Specifically the scientific explanations given for the existence of zombie’s in pop culture. Now, your typical zombie is an undead creature that can’t be killed unless you shoot them in Read more…

Movies!

Apparently the next Star Trek movie comes out in 2013. I was under the impression that it was coming out next year. This makes me sad, but a little happy. It will be much easier to get away to see a movie when we have a 15month old rather than Read more…

On Secrecy and Stargates

I’ve been watching old episodes of Stargate via Netflix and I started thinking about the whole “keeping the Stargate a secret” thing. At first, this made sense for the show and reality. An unknown device that no one really understands, but can take you to other worlds. Yeah, that would Read more…
