I'm back up after an all night server outage. My server was hacked and I'm still trying to secure it so this won't happen again. I've literally been up all night. I'll be back later after some sleep.
Breaking: Explosions Near Downtown Dallas
Jul 25, 2007 By Leave a Comment
A welding supply company near Dallas has had multiple explosions, causing gridlock on I-35. My first thought, naturally, is terrorism–knee jerk reaction really. However, gas tanks exploded where they are normally stored. I would think a terrorist would set off an explosion near a more populated place. There's just not enough information to go on [...]

I'm so hooked on Project Greenlight. I love movies and I'm the kind of person that actually listens to director commentaries and watches all of the DVD special features. Project Greenlight is like DVD featurettes on steroids. I'm particularly fascinated with the process by which movies are made. The line producer is the movie's project [...]

How far removed are we from our primitive ancestors? According to this study, it's not very far. A new study found that male monkeys will give up their juice rewards in order to ogle pictures of female monkey's bottoms.
