Logic, rational thinking gone...
The History channel is now dead to me. Caught a horrible show on Doomsday 2012. It's filled with horrible 'facts' that are easy to check out and show they are actually crappy theories laid out nutcases. The show doesn't really tell you that though, instead, it opts to call the few scientists they do interview as "skeptics" (said with a very derogatory tone) while presenting ridiculously vague prophecies as very specific historical events.
I have zero respect for the History channel at this point. To present this garbage as fact is terribly disingenuous and fuels massive waste of time and waste of cognitive surplus in conspiracy theorists. Not to mention the time wasted trying to prove all the logical fallacies and flat out wrong facts to these people, who now have a TV show to point to and say, "the History channel said it's true!"

Skin Deep: Cosmetic Safety Database - Special Report
I seem to have forgotten to blog this. Good stuff about sunscreen and what's bad for you. I have switched the sunscreen I use on my face to a really good Blue Lizard Zinc-based block. It works great! I still use a spray for the rest of my body because it's quick and easy and even if the chemicals are bad, I doubt they are worse than cancer.

Secrets To An Interfaith Relationship
Not sure how this ended up in my browser this morning. Must have been something clicked from my RSS reader. Still, it's an interesting short read about something that has interested me from time to time.

After reading, notice the "Articles you love most" on the right... this web site cracks me up.

Top five iPhone gripes - The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)
My exact reasons for not getting an iphone.
I should add the lack of voice dialing.
My blackberry does all this and is actually easier to use, in my opinion. The iphone feels like a dumbed down phone to me that they market and sell for much more than other phones.

J.O.B.: A short surf film from Red Bull
While my life isn't exactly the same as either of these guys, I'm closer to the suit and want to be closer to the trunks.

Ted Nugent Threatens to Kill Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton During Vicious Onstage Rant : Rolling Stone : Rock and Roll Daily
Wow...
Ted Nugent Threatens to Kill Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton During Vicious Onstage Rant : Rolling Stone : Rock and Roll Daily
Ted's a complete nutbag, but not nearly as nutbaggy as the comments on that page. I am now truly afraid for America.

Bad Astronomy Blog � God hates Mars
Bad Astronomy Blog � God hates Mars: "Sorry, dude. You don’t get to pick and choose what aspects of science you’re willing to believe in and what you’re not. Reality is a package deal. If we can use science to develop the engineering to build dams, to develop the medical knowledge to cure cancer, and to develop the agricultural methods necessary to feed the hungry, then we also have to acknowledge that science works."
