I’ve saved about 200,000 emails since beginning to use Gmail on 5/6/04.  That seems alternately high and low.  I’ve saved most of the newsletters, campus mailers, Netflix, and other mass mailings through Gmail’s labeling system.  On the other hand, scrolling through the mail shows I’ve written and recieved a lot of email personally.
I can only […]

I just killed a massive amount of ants using bleach.  I left a container of pound cake crumbs near the door Sunday (because I’m lazy), and sometime today or last night the colony discovered it.  Killing hundreds of insects after work did a surprisingly good job of releaving the stress of work.  And now I share.  Pay it […]

I just finished an hour bike ride.  Twenty minues out, my heartrate is still noticeably above normal, which can be interpreted as either good or bad.
 An article today reports that two new studies confirm that even a few extra pounds contribute to early death.

Forbes is reporting that men who want to be happy (not every man, apparently) should steer clear of and not marry career women.  In a successful marraige, women should cook the bacon, not bring it home.
 Divorse makes one really unhappy (duh!), and staying single is about as good as a bad marraige, although a good marraige […]

New stem cell proceedure does not harm embryo, but the embryo gets thrown away anyway.  Who wants to raise a kid missing a stem cell?
 
Among former embryos, the happiest people are old, married, church-going, evangelical, rich, college-educated, retired, laid-back, male, conservative, white, suburban, Republican, healthy, sunbelt-living, parents. Is anyone surprised?  Do young, poor, black, urban, […]

Because knowing is half the battle . . .
 
Madness.

Forbes pulled the article referenced below, and replaced it as a point-counter-point piece.  The counter-point, however, is by a feminist who calls men lazy and explains why failed marraiges are really their fault.
 
Harldly a counter-point.  The original author must be laughing. Or getting fired.

The death of the forth estate 

 
The Economist is predicting the end of the print newspaper.  Unfortunately, we’ve got about forty years.
 
Madness!

There was another murder in Louisville Saturday night. They found him in a car yesterday.  This is the 36th murder in Louisville this year. I think we are behind last year.  We have about one murder a week.  It’s about double the national average.
I’ll keep the rest of my reflections to myself.
 
Madness!
