Scientific American Gives Up

I was browsing Slashdot for updates on the WordPress/Google controversey. While there, I came letter from the editor of Scientific American in the current issue (April issue). It is quite humorous.

There’s no easy way to admit this. For years, helpful letter writers told us to stick to science. They pointed out that science and politics don’t mix. They said we should be more balanced in our presentation of such issues as creationism, missile defense and global warming. We resisted their advice and pretended not to be stung by the accusations that the magazine should be renamed Unscientific American, or Scientific Unamerican, or even Unscientific Unamerican. But spring is in the air, and all of nature is turning over a new leaf, so there’s no better time to say: you were right, and we were wrong. Read more

I tried walking into a Target, but I missed.

I once saw a forklift lift a crate of forks. And it was way to literal for ME.

Update Time

Spring Break has been pretty relaxing. Easter was good, but my mom came down with the flu and couldn’t come with us to my aunt and uncle’s house.

My books for my HST 330 paper finally arrived today from Amazon. After a long battle on trying to figure out where they were, Amazon finally overnighted a new order. Now I can heavily dive into the paper. So far, I’ve only got 3 pages written, and when I include some info from a previous version of the paper, it should be around 6 pages. Anyway, I hope everyone’s Spring Break is going well.

Test

I just took my History 330 (Business and Society) test. I don’t know how I did. It was kind of hard to take considering my vision was blurry and every once in a while I would have to stop writing because I would get dizzy. This has to be the worst cold ever. I hope tomorrow I feel better. I can’t wait to go home.

To everyone that I don’t see today, have a great and safe Spring Break.
