Prolonged cell phone use reduces sperm count/quality? Read about the recent study here. Maybe it’s a good idea to get back on AIM.

Happy Chinese New Year
Well, to be more politically correct, Happy Lunar New Year! Since many Asian cultures also celebrate the lunar new year. Well the year of the pig (I’m a pig on the zodiac) is over now so lets usher in the year of the rat.

Shelby GT500KR is the New KITT
I used to watch Knight Rider when I was a I kid and I thought KITT was the coolest car ever. I just read that NBC is creating a new Knight Rider TV movie and that the new KITT is the Shelby GT500KR. I’m sorry muscle car enthusiasts, but that’s an ugly KITT. KITT is supposed to be a sleek vehicle, not some bulky monster like the Shelby. I smell another failed Knight Rider revival, considering they can’t even get the car right.

Milk and Oreos
Double Stuf Chocolate Creme Oreos and a glass of milk make an excellent midnight snack. Especially when watching Maria Sharapova and Ana Ivanovic. Ana was pretty lucky tonight. I’m looking forward to the women’s championships and Federer v. Djokovic. I have GOT to go to sleep, geezus look at the time.

Yay, Tennis Season is Back
The first major of the season, the Australian Open, is well underway now. All eyes on Roger Federer setting big new records in 2008 (career slam, consecutive championship record at a couple majors, surpassing Pete Sampras’ 14 majors).

We Own The World
Interesting thoughts on US foreign policy by Noam Chomsky. His point is basically that the United States is not a real democratic state and the US makes its policy decisions based on the arrogant, ridiculous assumption that it owns the world, regardless of domestic or foreign opinions. And no one, at least not in the media, ever questions this. Title may seem confusing so to be clear, I am completely against most of this administration’s policies.

Crazy Busy
It’s been nuts since Thanksgiving. Many of my clients decided to send me new work immediately after Thanksgiving. Not that it’s a bad thing, but it’s all coming at the same time and I’m having trouble meeting deadlines. Seems like everyone wants to get this stuff expensed before the tax year ends. I’m even working weekends! My sacred weekend!

This is one of the best short stories I’ve read – it’s called “The Last Question” by Isaac Asimov.
