Ohhhhh.
Those are tulips. It’s March 2o. The vernal equinox. Spring is trying to spring.
Got it.
What happened on this day in history? Any famous people born on March 20?

Not psyched for the NCAA Tourney? You can always make your picks for TMN’s literary Tournament of Books. Same bracketology; different genre. I’m hoping for a smackdown in the final between, “And Then We Came to The End” over “On Chesil Beach.”

Arthur C. Clarke died on March 18 - a visionary of the space age. He may be most remembered for ‘2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY’ which was developed from a 1951 (?) story “The Sentinel”. Kudos to anyone who knows what “The Sentinel” was about.
He also said:
Behind every man now alive stand thirty ghosts, for [...]

All hail Paul Ford! - He did the impossible. He did the unthinkable. He did the why-would-anyone bother?
He downloaded the entire SXSW torrent file which contains more than 48 continuous hours of music, representing 763 different bands (which is less than half the bands that played). Are you beginning to comprehend how ridiculously large the [...]

Whoa.
So, technically it’s been around for years. In the nineteenth century eyeball tattooing was used as a cosmetic correction in some cases of blindness. But this just doesn’t seem right.
Criminy! I am all for rugged individualism, but whatever happened to trekking the Appalachian Trail? Sitting on Walden Pond? Exploring the wilds of Alaska?

Sign up for retribution!
If you bought Airborne to keep all the germies out pre-flight, there may be a piece of the big settlement pie waiting for you. They’re on the hook for false advertising because maybe they didn’t do any testing involving actual doctors. But what does that matter? The product itself was invented by [...]

I hate that feeling. You learn something so basic that you can’t believe that it took so long to dawn on you.

CNN.com was kind enough to inform me that the FBI wants palm prints and eye scans and tattoo mapping and they’re planning on awarding a $1 billion dollar contract in the near future.
Yes, we’re on our way to becoming a surveilled society. Yes, it’s a little scary.

Well the cold and flu season is upon us and I have just the new trick to help you out. It might be tempting fate to say that I almost want a cold this year to try this remedy.
