A few things on my mind...

1. Well, I know I'm a nerd that works in a lab all day doing science. But this is funny:



Funny thing, I'm not using epMotion, but have been using automated pipetting devices lately, and they are wonderful.

2. Further proof that I am a nerd (as if you need more), this is a pretty great article too. I particularly like the line "Slower falling objects yielded comparatively piddly explosions."

3. What happens when the phrase 'jump the shark' well, you know, jumps the shark?

4. God help me, I live in a city that truly believes that Bon Jovi actually rocks. And now that the Philadelphia Soul (which he co-owns with Ron Jaworski) won the Arena Bowl, him and his music have been everywhere.

5. This is a never ending problem of mine. If you cook burgers and hot dogs over on a grill, THIS IS NOT A BARBEQUE!!! (It's a cookout, or I'll even accept that you are grilling out) Stupid Northeasterners.

6. I know I've mentioned this before, but I love my RSS feed from Geedadelphia. They keep me updated on cool things that people do with LEGOS, and of important things like the Bacon Alarm Clock (WAKE n' BACON).

7. Finally, I miss friends like The TD Maker and t because they keep my witty banter sharp and fresh. I feel like I've worn out my best material with people at work, and they don't seem to enjoy the verbal jousting.

a) I heard about the WAKE n' BACON yesterday and promptly ordered one for t for Christmas.

b) I've been showing your mom how to better work my manual pipetting device.

c) Why don't you invite Bon Jovi over for a barbeque featuring nothing but hot dogs, hamburgers & (for J's sake) veggie burgers? Then your journey towards the dark side will be complete. You can finish the night off with some water ice (redundant enough? No dumber names were available?).

Apparently I'm not the only one that needs help staying sharp...
