If you work in IT, and have never read either of these, you are deprived
These are without a doubt my two favorite IT-related humor sites. The first, Chronicles of George, is a supposedly true log of the support tickets for what is perhaps the most inept helpdesk tech ever. It’s worth a read just for the engrish alone. The second, The Bastard Operator from Hell, is an obviously fake […]
Study: The mere anticipation of an interaction with a woman can impair men’s cognitive performance.
Posted by in Science on September 18, 2012
Well, now, this is an interesting study. The TL;DR of it is this: A previous study has shown that when men interact with women, they don’t think as well. This study shows that, not only is that true, but that when men just think about interacting with women (pretty much all the time) they also […]

Be Careful Who You Get Your Supplements From
As a public service announcement for those who don’t get over to Reddit very often, here’s an interesting thread where an enterprising lad took a sample of the very cheap, very concentrated American Pure Whey protein product and ran a chemical analysis on it. The results? Well, roughly, a sample of APW that should have […]
Which is Better for Increasing Strength: 1, 4 or 8 Sets Per Exercise?
Interesting research review that examines a study that not only tracked strength differences but also mass differences on identical regimens of squats (only differing in sets performed) with three groups of previously trained lifters. The results are pretty interesting. Not that I’m strongly considering switching to squatting 8×8 two times a week, but doing 5×5 […]
Random Thoughts, Injury Update
As I was clearing out a spam comment on a post last night, I happened to run across this comment in my progress post. Originally, I responded to this in typical ‘thanks’ fashion and didn’t think much more of it. But last night, the byline, ‘Matt P’, caught my attention. I looked closer at it […]
The American Scholar: A New Theory of the Universe – Robert Lanza
Posted by in Science on June 3, 2012
This is without a doubt one of the more interesting articles I’ve read recently, intersecting nicely with my own thoughts on the nature of existence. Taking the position of Devil’s Advocate briefly, I will say that I believe most scientists shy away from this type of outlook (the Anthropic Principle in general) not because of […]

Site Updated
Well, if you’ve been on the site this morning, you might have noticed a bit of chaos as I updated the theme, cleaned out a lot of cruft, and added some new features. Long story short, I decided to go with amore clean, simple look that was a lot more streamlined, and remove some of […]
