Ladybug News

They were certainly hither-ing and thither-ing at my house last weekend. Every corner of my living room ceiling is now filled with a score or more of ladybugs, as tightly crammed as the mosh pit at a Green Day show.

This article appears to be somewhat serious. They’re here. They’re there. They’re everywhere. [...]

Plague of the Ladybugs

To all of you who live in my city, I’d like to let you know that the ladybugs are back. Or rather, they’re coming back. And they’re coming back in huge numbers. An entire wall of my school was covered in the red-and-black insects, and many had found their way inside by the end of [...]

The Arboretum

I went to the Arboretum yesterday and took around two hundred and fifty pictures. Here are the best eighteen. One of my favorites is below -

I’m sorry for the low resolution - I can’t upload tons of photos at high resolution under the free account restrictions. Enjoy! Please comment, here or on my Flickr account!

Harry Potter News - Finally!

After a long break in Harry Potter related splendiferousness after the release of the 7th book and 5th movie, Rowling has finally provided us with new news relating to the series. HOWEVER, the following text DOES CONTAIN A SPOILER! PLEASE DO NOT READ IT UNLESS YOU HAVE FINISHED THE SERIES!
Here’s an excerpt from an article [...]

People Are Actually…Serious?

Yes. Finally, a candidate I would vote for. Sad to say, Colbert’s may only be a mock candidacy. Although, to be honest, he’s probably the most likeable candidate out there. His ratings are respectable (unlike the current president’s, who, we are constantly reminded, has a lower approval rating than herpes), and yet, he speaks to [...]

BigDay!

It’s a big day for me in the blogosphere! First of all, The Discombobulator now has over 500 hits! Second of all, the esteemed blog RealClimate has accepted my comment on their recent post. Their post pertains to the British judge’s ruling about the showing of An Inconvenient Truth in public schools, and my comment [...]

Words for Rice

My friend stumbled across this great site a few days ago, and I thought I’d show it to you. It’s called FreeRice. You answer vocabulary questions, and for each question you answer correctly, a company pays  for 10 grains of rice to be donated to someone…probably someone in a third world country. So far, I’ve [...]

Free Stuff!

No, these won’t give you viruses. No, I’m not trying to spam you. I was just amazed by the quality of free programs and music online. So, just as a little treat, here are six of my favorite free (downloadable) things online -
Graphics Programs
Apophysis - a fracal creating program which allows you to modify [...]

Coulter and Climate

Surprisingly, neither of the news articles I’ll be commenting on were reported today. ” Coulter: Christians as ‘Perfected Jews’ ” appears under the date of October 11, 2007, while “Gore and U.N. Panel Win Peace Prize for Climate Work” appears under the date of October 13, 2007. Whoever invented the time machine to allow that [...]

I’m Sorry, Thank You, and Two by Fours

I’ll begin by apologizing. I’ve been both busy and sick over the past few days, which explains the momentary hiatus my blog has been experiencing.
I’ll continue by thanking you. People have actually been talking about my blog! That’s great! That means I’ve moved beyond the realm of the internet and into (perhaps?!) reality! Thank you!
Now [...]
