A great example of how the human mind sees patterns that don't exist. It also shows how terrible our intuition is when it comes to probability. Some scientists did a rigorous statistical examination of hot and cold streaks and found that the hot streaks they studied were just random chance. Read about it in the link below.

Tetris commercial
How the crap do you make an appealing commercial for a game like Tetris? Apparently Nintendo didn't know, either.

Post 101, bitches
I got a letter today from the credit card company congratulating me on having an outstanding balance. I mean, sure, I know I'm pretty thrifty, but I didn't think that it was worthy of accolades.

Weird Science
And no, the subject of this blog isn't "Two words that best describe JD". Have you ever gone back and watched a show you loved as a kid, but when you watch it, you're like "Wow, this is retarded." Well, on Hulu, I noticed such a show, Weird Science. However, after I watched a few episodes, I had but one thought:
"AWESOME"
Seriously, Weird Science is awesome. It's aged fairly well, considering it was on when I was growing up in the dark ages, and defying all common sense, I found the writing to be pretty darned good. Give it a shot at www.hulu.com
In other entertainment news, it appears that the new Harold and Kumar movie comes out next month. I'm looking forward to it.
In real life news, I should know my summer plans by Monday. I know some of you are on the edge of your seats about them, so hold on just a few more days.

Things to do when I'm rich
Go to McDonald's and order 5000 cheeseburgers at once, tying it up for the rest of the day. Laugh at everyone stuck behind you in line.

Hello reader (Yes, that is singular),
After a large lapse I feel I am ready to continue to post about the boring minutia of my life, I hope you are ready to continue to read about it.
So, as you may know, I recently got a futon in my main TV/computer room. Since then I have not slept in my read bed. Unfortunately, as convenient as this set up is (and saves on heating bills), I'm afraid I might have to move back to the bedroom shortly, because Elly is way too loud in there in the middle of the night.
In other news, I just restarted working on my old research project at work. It's a bit different and more involved this time, and this time I have a partner to work with and to throw the burden onto when I get bored and/or lazy. Hooray! Ask me for more details.
I'm off to work now, I hope to catch you later.

But Seriously, Guys
I have made a second blog to put some of my more serious and/or offensive thoughts and opinions on. If you feel that reading strong opinions conflicting with your own on religion, politics, etc will adversely affect our relationship, don't read it.
