Brooks & Dunn – Calling it Quits!
Okay so I’m behind on the “breaking news” front. I’ve always been a procrastinator. And, I’m not a huge country music fan. I mean, I like a lot of country groups, have a lot of favorite songs that are country, but I don’t really follow any group or artist closely, so this shocked me when [...]
Balloon Boy…
So, Thursday October 15th, I was reading CNN.com, as I usually do each day, and perusing the day’s comments on Twitter, and along comes this breaking story about a 6 year old boy who was trapped in a home-made hot air balloon, which accidentally broke away from the ground and was soaring seven thousand feet [...]
Top Ten Places Where Life Shouldn’t Exist… But Does
I’m always amazed when new species of life are discovered.

One acre of rainforest can [...]

In her defense, she didn’t foot fault, according to the replays, and it did seem just unbelievable that she was called for so many foot [...]
Dolphins – The People of the Sea
Dolphins are a truly amazing animal… nobody fully knows how they communicate, or how much of their brains they are able to utilize, but some of the most fascinating facts about dolphins are those that deal with communication.
Dolphins use echolocation, or ’sonar’. With this ability, a dolphin could construct a precisely detailed auditory image [...]
Fast Flip – My new Favorite
So, I recently discovered that Google is good for more than just standard web searching. Turns out they have a lot of different applications, and one of them is my new favorite way to read the news: Google Fast Flip. This thing seriously rocks! I can check out all the new headlines without going to [...]
10 Things Every Human Should Know
You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it’s yours to keep for the entire period.
You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called, “life.”
There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial, error, and experimentation. The “failed” experiments [...]
