Social Media Wariness
I like social media. I’ve made good friendships with people I would otherwise never meet. I’ve strengthened relationships with people I never get to see. (And yes, I’ve destroyed at least one perfectly beautiful friendship.) Yet with the advent of Google+, I’m feel like stepping back. I’m not eschewing social connections; I like the connections. I’m...

Every site I use needs to implement this
Kudos to mlkshk for implementing a feature I’ve always wished to have: an indicator of where I started reading last. This would make Facebook much more tolerable. Posted via email from Chris Ash | Comment »
Reading list for May 12, 2011
Here are some interesting and thought-provoking stories for today. They’re presented in ascending order of length and importance. Funny how that works. SCIENCE // They claim there ought to be things in our universe that pre-date the Big Bang. POLITICS // Paul Krugman, on what passes for adult conversation in Washington, D.C. It makes me wonder what it would take to elect people who would...

Comment Disabler
When you spend a lot of time reading on the internet, you forget to ignore comments on articles. I do, at least. What this means is that sometimes you run into comments that are really hilarious (while still being offensive.) Like this one. So what I need is a couple of developers who have experience with plug-in design. Hell, if we have to use kickstarter to get this project moving, I’ll...

Are Plants Really Using Quantum Entanglement In...
via io9.com Quantum entanglement is far, FAR over my head in terms of my technical understanding, but that doesn’t stop me from geeking-out on how it may apply to photosynthesis! Read the article to get a quick description of quantum entanglement and how it may apply to the miracle of photosynthesis. Posted via web from chrisash’s posterous | Comment »
Music Update 20100119
It’s a musical kind of night, and I feel motivated to alert you of my thoughts on a few items you may have missed. We will cover unusual territory, but be not afraid. I’ve got your back. 1) Wu-Tang vs. The Beatles - Enter the Magical Mystery Chambers**** - http://wutangvsthebeatles.bandcamp.com/ | Free Download (!) I just found this tonight, and it’s unbelievably awesome. If you...
Let it be known: I was craving fried cheese curds, but I ordered the salad. (Full disclosure: the salad had bacon in it.)

Catching up on Heroes. It turns out that this show’s superpower is the ability to slow time and plot.
What a crazy freaking day! I’m so glad this week is a short wee… oh, crap.
2010 was supposed to be the year we make contact, and we haven’t even found the stupid monolith yet. Let’s step it up, people.

There’s something very satisfying about closing Excel the last time for the week.
I must now venture forth. I don’t know what hazards await, or what fate will befall me—but I shall procure a butterburger.
RT @ebertchicago: Cable news is blowing the enormous story out of Iran. Andrew Sullivan has awesome coverage and insights. http://j.mp …
This is as close to a Christmas video as I will post today. I get chills EVERY TIME at around 2:12.

Not a lot of work getting done around here. Just overheard a coworker to say: “Sexual Harassment will not be tolerated, it will be graded.”
Glitched into listening to the charter communications break room for the last 5 minutes. Not rampantly professional in there.
If this is representative of the U.S. strategy in Afghanistan, then it’s okay with me if we stay another 10 years. - http://ow.ly/MNiR
In truth, this latest installment should be tilted “Harry Potter and the Awkward Silences.”
RT @ebertchicago: My suggested name for the decade now ending: The Zeros.
I figured out why I’m in such a good mood… today is New Urinal Puck Day!
I don’t often say this… But the roads are treacherous.
Snow have you stuck inside? Feelin’ snarky? How does 5 episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000 on Hulu sound? http://ow.ly/JZLL
Interesting that the sequel to Iron Man takes place in the past. Why are they calling it Sherlock Holmes instead of Iron Man 2?
Donk live on the radio (I don’t often get to say that) for the next two hours (never get to say that!) Listen now @ http://wsum.org
