Eyes from Above

by clay on January 13, 2008

Far, far above. A co-worker of mine is long time friends with Dan Tani, an astronaut who currently calls the International Space Station his home. The other day he snapped pictures of the D/FW area and I thought I would share them. Thanks to Dan for taking them and Brian for letting me post them. [...]

A Nobel Peace Prize for the Goracle

by clay on October 12, 2007

I’m actually going to leave my opinion of global warming out of this. Al Gore and the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change have won the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize. I think it’s pathetic and here’s why. According to Alfred Nobel’s will, which established the five Nobel prizes, the Peace Prize should be awarded “to [...]

C’mon Al, debate someone!

by clay on October 5, 2007

Got this from Drudge this morning. A group called the Heartland Institute wants Al Gore to debate one of their experts on global warming. Al won’t have anything to do with them. A quote from one of Al’s people. “The debate has shifted to how to solve the climate crisis, not if there is one,” [...]

If people keep gaining weight at the current rate, fat will be the norm by 2015, with 75 percent of U.S. adults overweight and 41 percent obese, U.S. researchers predicted on Wednesday. I’m overweight. [...]

I received emails from the following people in the last week: Juice Longer Gemini D. Torments Sickening P. Chunky While I'm sure that your stock tips are great and that you really can get me a good deal on Viagra, I'm really not interested. I would also like to extend an offer for my baby [...]

Some interesting information

by clay on November 15, 2006

As anyone who knows me very well is quite aware, I am an unabashed skeptic when it comes to global warming. I will not say that it doesn't exist, but I will say that I don't think it's as bad as Al Gore would have you believe. So, to follow up on that thought, read [...]
