Want To Donate Blood? – Don’t Be A Gay Dude

admin — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 02:57:53 +0000

Am I the only one who didn’t know that if you’re gay male – or ever had a homosexual experience with another guy, even once – that you’re banned from donating blood for life?

I just read this article by Senator John Kerry, yeah the guy who lost in 2004 to Georgie, arguing for a repeal to the federal ban on gay man blood.

Via, I dunno. But that article is from Bay Windows.

Chile Earthquake Infographic

admin — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 16:57:46 +0000

I just think this infograpahic of the Chile Earthquake is really cool. The earthquake was rated an 8.8 on the Moment Magnitude Scale (MMS). The MMS is the successor to the more commonly known Richter Scale.

It’s also worth comparing to the recent Haiti Earthquake, which was rated a 7 on the MMS. People who aren’t nerds like me may not be aware that the MMS, and formerly the Ricter Scale, is a logarithmic scale, not a linear one. What this means is that while the Haitian earthquake had about 50 megatons of energy, the Chilean earthquake had about 10,020 megatons of energy. That’s roughly 500 times as much energy.

TV Shows

This weekend Becky and I watched the first four episodes of Dexter – a show that apparently everyone thinks is just the best TV show ever. That got me thinking, I currently watch, and have watched, a lot of TV series.

Update: I thought of another one that we’re watching that’s on hiatus.

Currently watching live:

Lost – Current

Archer – Current

Ax Men – Current

Chuck – Current

The Office – Current

Currently watching hiatus:

Sons of Anarchy – Current

True Blood – Current

Currently Watching – Old:

Dexter – Just finished Season 1

Recently stopped watching:

Scrubs – Stopped only because DVR recordings conflicted with Lost and The Biggest Loser

Never finished:

Heroes – I think I’m near the beginning of Season 3

Sopranos – Not sure where we left off on this one, Season 4/5?

Deadwood – Completed Season 1

Nip/Tuck – Seen up to season 3? I think

Oz – Haven’t watched this in a while, I think I’m somewhere in the middle

Macguyver – Dude, I have no idea

Completed:

Firefly – 1 Season Only

This is just off the top of my head and I’ll update this a bit more. But at first glance, is the only series I’ve ever finished Firefly? What the hell.

A Choke-Proof Hot Dog

I don’t know what it is about this article on hot dogs, but I find it hilarious. Any conversation involving a hot dog is inherently funny. Just the concept of a choke-proof hot dog conjures up a lot of funny ideas – what about rectangular shapes, for example. A couple of highlights from the article:

If you were to take the best engineers in the world and try to design the perfect plug for a child’s airway, it would be a hot dog[.]

Because the best engineers in the world would sign up for that gig.

That’s a title you want on your resume.

Utah Conservatives: Let’s Eliminate the 12th Grade

admin — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 19:23:09 +0000

Quality Idea: The gist is, Utah is kinda broke – like every other state, in order to save some money some Conservatives have suggested eliminating mandatory 12th grade. I can’t see how some people might be against this.

P.S. Jackie your former state is stupid.
