Ruud’s LA Vacation Diary

This is a funny story from Plenderleith. Kind of makes you wonder what he took the night before to have this amnesia thing going on.

By the way, Sherie did ok the Xmas gift of my dreams: the season tickets to the new ‘Quakes. Last night my personal ticket man Andrew called and we arranged the seating. STOKED!!!

Beautiful World of Physics

Yes, its true: the world is beautiful, and we can understand the beauty (which makes me appreciate it more) because of physics! Calculus nerds celebrate!

See the IHT here for a story about Walter H. G. Lewin at MIT and his mission to get people to love physics…

And because of the internet, especially YouTube, Lewin is pretty darn famous.

I guess I am always excited when some one starts to see the beauty in the math behind the phenomenon.

Greg Pallast Story

The Chron today ran a story on Greg Palast. In my opinion, the real problem with the news today is that it reports what it is fed, not what if uncovers.

From the Chron story:

“The average American does not see the type of reporting that Greg Palast is doing,” McMillon said. “The average American gets their news from FOX, CNN and the talking heads at ABC, NBC and CBS. What has taken the place of real journalism is reporting that is safe and will keep the public calm.”

How are the masses to be informed about all the real stories from sources other than big gov or big biz? That is Palast mission. See him here.

Social Grace Letter

This is an interesting story. I guess no one could tell the old farter to his face about their personal disgust…

Couch Excercise Pill

This story tells how you soon will be able to stay on the couch and get the mental health benefits of exercise.

Maybe after this pill they will invent one that lets you get depressed while exercising…
