…Oh man. Now I’m excited for the free iPad I’d get once I start school in the fall. Though I am unsure of how much time I’d actually have to play it….hahahaaaa…
EDIT: Ok. Ok. Not *free* per se, since it’s probably paid for in tuition, but still….
I am scared shitless.
kiwi!
sloth
whale
giraffe
Cow
wolf
Panther
Alligator
Racka Sheep
Fantail Pigeon. Not necessarily fav animal, but that should be a fun one for an art project.

WHAT IS THIS SORCERY
AWWWWW YISSSSSS. Good. This is good.
Totally signed up for beta. It would be so lovely to talk to you guys without the goofy fanmail thing, which I always saw as cumbersome. The fanmail thing. Not the talking to you guys thing.

Something to distract you guys if you have a Last.FM account. Apparently, this site can sort your songs to give you a total percentage of what musical key you listen to the most and least (and everything in between).
And once you do that, try looking up what sort of personality your favored key has. I am not quite sure if that tells you something, but it is fun to think about. Or dreadfully depressing for some folks. Maybe.

By the by, I listen to a lot of D major. What do you guys listen to?
So I guess stretching before you go out for your morning run may not be as great as it’s believed to be.
Instead, researchers have discovered, this so-called static stretching can lessen jumpers’ heights and sprinters’ speeds, without substantially reducing people’s chances of hurting themselves.
I guess Zombieland got rule #18 wrong. Don’t limber up. It might just slow you down long enough to get your tendons ripped out.
Instead, maybe change rule #18 to “Warm up.“ It might do you some good to do some jumping jacks and high kicks before you go decide to go into a potential zombie infested hell hole. Just a thought.
Goodbye Damian Wayne, you cheeky little devil. I wish you didn’t leave the way you did. Better come back and give us a better ending.
Every branch of nature-watching has its own ridiculously tough IDs. Feel free to substitute your own!
Cute. So cute.
And for the really tough cases, I’ll get out the PCR kit and the molecular genetics software…get us some bootstrap values….
Something to end your work week with. Or your school week. I’m really digging this group. And the moves in this video are jumpin’.
Excellent turntablism and if you check out their track, “Down the Road” off their 2012 album Tetra, you hear more of it, as well as sicknasty sampling.
Darwin’s Pigeons, in All Their Genetic Variety
From the New York Times with photos by Richard Bailey
“They might be called the “rats of the sky,” but Charles Darwin certainly saw something in pigeons. It turns out the father of evolution saw in the bird an amazing variety of variation in color, shape and form. Richard Bailey, a photographer based in London, honored the 150th anniversary since the publication of “On the Origin of Species” and the 200th anniversary in 2009 of Charles Darwin’s birth by photographing some of the pigeon breeds that played such an important part in Darwin’s work.”
Aaaahhhhh so much variation from your lowly common pigeon. As much as people complain about them all the time, I will still love them regardless.
And I remember reading the article about the huge variation in them last week at work. I wish I remembered to save the link to that article, but the one they give you here the link is pretty good too. So enjoy folks.
