Bill Nye The Science Guy did a take on Nirvanas Smells Like Teen Spirit called Smells Like Air Pressure. I guess the episode was about Air Pressure. All the bill nye songs are on this youtube account, btw:

By now you’ve probably heard or read that Apple announced what can only be described as “ridiculous earnings” for the most recent quarter. The stock is at an all time high, the most valuable company on the planet; worth more, in fact, than the annual output of some entire nations.
Norman the Briard rides a scooter upright in Canton, Georgia, USA. The dog first perfected his trick in the back garden of owner Karen Cobb’s home early last year. His talents caught the attention of David Letterman, and Norman and Karen appeared on the comedian’s Late Show in February.

The show is welcome counter-programming to the slow-burning despair and moral ambiguity of most quality drama on television right now.

It breaks my heart that at this point in my life I cannot have a dog of my own.To remedy this lack of unadulterated affection in my life, I am going to volunteer at Toronto Animal Services. There is a duo who are currently photographing the strays and marketing them so that they get adopted and live wonderful lives after they’ve been abandoned. I have contacted them and I am going to put my photography/videography abilities to work.

While a truly original and interesting movie like Charlie Kaufman’s “Frank or Francis” struggles to scrape together the $10 million dollars more it needs to get made, it’s a pretty good indication of where we’re at these days that movies based on Hasbro games/toys “Monopoly,” “Action Man” and “Hungry Hungry Hippos” are happening. Because who among us hasn’t been sitting down during the fourth hour of a grueling game of “Monopoly” only to say, “Man, this would make a really great movie!
Nothing. Really, really nothing.
Upon reflection, I discovered that I am procrastinating for no reason whatsoever. It’s the act of beginning that I find difficult. In order to ease this difficulty and increase my productivity, a goal most of my peers seem to be struggling with, I am going to begin a “Reflection of the Day” thing.
