Little Bit of up and down

So I saw this over at boing boing and I just had to post it.



At fist I thought it was funny and then I thought, you know what I do need some underwear with some up and down give, plus I don't think a stretchy seat is a bad idea either.

Do You Have Autistic Tendencies?

Do You Have Autistic Tendencies?

http://aq.server8.org/

I got 21 so I'm high normal, but not autistic, which I guess is pretty good. But I really don't trust these sorts of questionnaires. I think that they are interesting, but I don't really think that their results mean anything. I mean maybe if you scored 50 or something it might be a big deal.

But when ever I am answering these sorts of things I am pretty conscious of what I am answering and what the questions are about. So if it's a loner quiz I don't want to think of myself as a loner (even though I have hermetic tendencies) so I answer in ways that make me out to not be a loner.

Who knows maybe I'm the only jerk that does that.

Who knew I could be so sappy

All right so this has nothing to do with me but I was reading this and watching this today and I thought it was a pretty sweet story.

Anyways, you can read the story here, which is basically about a lion that grows up in London and then is released into the wild with an eventual reunion with his "parents."

What you can watch is the video of the reunion. And I mean maybe you need to have cats, or pets or something to really appreciate it, but I think that it's pretty neat.

Anyways for you sappy animal lovers out there, there you go.

The Science of Baseball

Here is a relatively fun baseball reaction time baseball game: http://www.exploratorium.edu/baseball/reactiontime.html

I did this ten times and here are my results:

  1. Home Run
  2. Base Hit
  3. Home Run
  4. Swung Early
  5. Base Hit
  6. Base Hit
  7. Base Hit
  8. Strike
  9. Home Run
  10. Base Hit
Now these were not the first times that I tried them but still that's pretty accurate.

First off

So first things, there is this video making the internet meme rounds that I think you all should checkout: Chocolate Rain now at first you'll probably want to write this off as just some crappy song and you just want to laugh at the dude.

And really in some way's you'd be right, but in others you have to think that it's sort of cool that this guy went out there, wrote a song, video taped himself performing it, uploaded it, and then released it under the create commons license. You know, good for him, hopefully he doesn't let the negative comments get him down.

I'm not saying that the song is good, but that's sort of the beautiful thing about the Internet, you do stuff, and you want other people to be able to see it, so you put it up, and they can see it. How good or bad it is doesn't really matter.

So if you want you can write this song off like almost did, but in a few days you'll find yourself walking around the house singing about some chocolate rain.
