Large Hadron Collider?

does anyone know what a Large Hadron Collider is? Personally I have no idea but apparently scientists are building one in Switzerland and it might be able to create black holes. Wikipedia doesn't seem too worried about it, but I am. Shouldn't there be laws preventing something like that? All I'm saying is that if the world ends because of some Swiss Large Hadron Collider, I'm gonna be super pissed. Solving String Theory just isn't worth the apocalypse.

On a completely different note, does anyone actually like Tyler Florence?

Bruce Lee fights racism... literally.

Bruce Lee is awesome. I know this scene from Fist of Fury is sorta silly, but it's emblematic of the social consciousness that all of his films contained. If your looking to check it out, and you should be, I highly recommend the version from the Bruce Lee Ultimate Collection that FOX released a few years ago. There's some really bad dubs out there, and some of them are nearly unwatchable.

Summer

I haven't written anything on this Blog for a while. I guess it's about time that I did so, unfortunately I don't really have a whole lot to say. My summers been pretty good so far, but I need to find a job. I want something thats fun, relatively close to home, and pays well. Obviously such jobs aren't easy to find. I've been checking craig's list but I haven't found all too much. I'll try and keep you updated.

By the way, my NES table still hasn't come to fruition. It seems like if I really want to do it, I'm gonna have to go over to someone's house and use their tool shed. I was sorta just hoping to put it together in my basement. The idea of making a giant video game controller in someone else's house is less than ideal.

Happy Mothers Day!

My mini film series continues! This is a clip from Douglas Sirk's all that Heaven Allows. Very appropriate for mothers-day. All I can say is the man knows how to use lighting.

Bob's a bitch.

I saw this article on Kotaku and felt it was worth sharing. Anymore of these and I'm gonna have to get myself a parenting category on the sidebar.

Summer Project

I finally know what I'm going to do with my summer. If you don't think that I'm cool now, you will in a second. I'm going to create a giant working NES controller coffee table. I guess I'm gonna have to buy a third NES. I assume if i really look for one I could get it pretty cheap. It's times like this that I wish my mom never gave my last one away.

Obama on GTA

Heres one reason that I like Obama better then Clinton. Here Obama basically says what I've been saying for months. It's the parents responsibility to keep their children away from media that is inappropriate for them to be viewing.
