Now instead of just picturing the ocean while sitting in my cubicle, I can actually see it!

You've all likely heard about Google 5.0. One of my favorite parts is Google Ocean - check out these blurbs on You Tube. Apparently only 5 percent of the ocean floor has been mapped in any detail, and less than 1 percent of the oceans is designated marine protected areas, according to the LA Times story.

"It is in the realm of the public interest for society to help support our efforts," Harold Varmus, Nobel laureate and one of the co-chairs of Obama's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, said during an interview on NPR's All Things Considered.

Has anyone else had that cold that lasts about three or four weeks? It's going around out here and I'm finally starting to get over it. Too bad I didn't know about the wonder flu cure Oscillococcinum, or as everyone chatting online about herbal remedies likes to mispell it, occicillium.

Obama is playing good cop to Bush's bad cop, letting EPA know that his administration will not deny facts but be guided by them.
Continuing efforts to overturn more of the last administration's policies, President Obama signed a presidential memoranda today requesting the EPA consider approving a waiver that will allow 14 states to set their own stricter automobile emissions and fuel efficiency standards.

Obama also signed a memorandum directing the Department of Transportation to expedite finalization of more fuel-efficient standards for the auto industry to cover 2011 model-year cars.

A high-quality glossy titled, "What Really Happened To Dinosaurs?", is making the rounds, thanks to CEO Ken Ham and the good people at Discovery Institute.

Dinosaurs, in addition to being Adam and Eve's first choice for every flag football game in the Garden, are also apparently the foremost of weapons used to indoctrinate children in the fallacy of evolution. And it gets better.

I came across this brilliant and scarily insightful guide to dating geek girls and queried Boyfriend on whether he was aware of said guide. He wasn't, which makes it more amazing that he has succeeded thus far in not breaking any of the set-forth rules. And I haven't made him cry - yet, anyway.
