I just read this article about the law of internet dating. I find it interesting that people sue these dating sites. Some of it seems legit, e.g. dating sites sending flirty emails from fake third parties or sending employees on dates with customers to keep them subscribing. That seems pretty shady.

About two months ago, I posted a link to some info about making meat in labs without killing animals. I read another article about it today which places the argument in favor of it in a better context I think. It's such a neat idea, assuming there's no catastrophic consequences from eating artificial meat. I would absolutely love a chicken ( Read more... )

Professional Video Gaming Set for TV Debut

Video gaming is an "extreme sport" now? Riiiiight. Tell that to the kids on TLC's new show.

I skipped work yesterday. It was brilliant. I watched two episodes of The Daily Show and took a 3 hour nap. My kittens were totally psyched to have me ( Read more... )

Interesting article about the reports of violence and lawlessness surrounding the hurricaneI was amazingly productive this morning. I finished my homework for 3 classes during the 2.5 hours I had before my first class. Yay. That only leaves payment systems to do when I get home after work. The problem is that I feel like I've been in class all ( Read more... )
