Google Mars
In the spirit of Google Maps, Google Earth, and Google Moon, the next frontier for Google maps junkies has been released - Google Mars.
Using maps from images taken by NASA’s orbiting Mars Odyssey and Mars Global Surveyor, Google provides users images of the Martian surface. View mountains, craters, dunes, ridges, canyons, and plains… all by name. You can also view the location of various spacecraft that have explored Mars.
It works just like Google Maps, you can zoom in, drag from side to side, and pinpoint locations. � You can view by elevation, by infrared, or by …
More Homemade Gas
Seems that with today’s skyrocketing gas prices, my small post on “Homemade Gas” has been fairly popular. It’s not getting the most direct traffic, but it is getting consistent traffic from web searches. Not surprising as, even as gas has come back from $3, I am sure that anyone with an SUV still feels like vomiting everytime they fill their tank.

Al Gore, Scientist
Al Gore recently spoke in San Francisco on the subject of global warming and its effects on the hurricane cycle. Would somebody please tell me where he went to school so I can be certain not to send my kids there?

I am sorry, but I just can’t respect a man that manipulates reality to fit his own little fantasy world.
After a …
Man & Chimps Living Together?
Recently discovered fossils of chimps are causing some problems for scientists. This is the first fossil evidence that humans and chimps coexisted in the same place in the past. Why is this a problem for evolution? Read on…
It had previously been thought that chimps never lived in the arid Rift Valley—they prefer more lush environments like the Congo and jungles of western Africa. For years scientists believed that early human ancestors left the jungles and moved east to the less wooded grasslands and that this move caused the evolutionary split between the human and chimp lines.
But now, with the discovery …
Sad Science
I recently had an interesting conversation with a coworker (actually a subordinate of mine). I was returning a copy of a recent issue of Time Magazine after photocopying an article that I wanted to read later. He assumed that I was reading (or copying) the cover story on the Creation vs. Evolution debate and asked what I thought of the article. I mentioned that I was actually interested in a different article.
Well, he went on to say that it was a great article and I should read it. He asked me what my take on the situation was and what …
