Google+

The most popular user on Google+ right now may be Linus Torvalds, founder of the Linux kernel. I got a Google+ account, but none of my Yahoo imported Facebook friends are on it. Google+ won't interface with Facebook itself. Like Blogging, nobody has time to try it out. It is a beta. The beta works fine and didn't crash my browser. The Google + beta doesn't have games so people ignore it so far. I've been a member for three weeks now. The worst aspect of this site is there isn't anyone else to add, because I interfaced with Yahoo.



Whatever happened to Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft games, yet facebook users seemly cannot leave their Mafia Wars or Farmville games or reload pictures.

Quantum Zeno effect apocalyse

For years, scientists have been scouring the cosmos for some kind of bizarre hypothetical anti-gravity bullshit they're calling "dark energy". And they've had some success with it ... perhaps at the expense of our mortal souls.

To grossly simplify it, on a scale smaller than atoms, the quantum level, everything suddenly turns into a goddamn circus. Quantum physics is to regular everyday physics as a David Lynch film is to a mainstream blockbuster. We're talking particles popping in and out of existence, being in two places at the same time, and generally acting like assholes.


No doubt the strangest part is the Quantum Zeno effect, which points out that simply observing and measuring particles changes them (specifically, changing the rate at which they decay). How? No one knows. It appears to be the closest science has ever come to proving black magic exists.

What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

One prominent scientist theorized that the changes caused by simply observing dark energy could cause it to collapse, taking the universe with it.

Scientists, eager to see if this is true, are furiously observing dark energy whenever they get the chance.

So, Basically It's Like...

It's like crossing the streams in Ghostbusters, apparently.

How Long Have We Got?

That scientist, Professor Lawrence Krauss, thinks it may already be underway. Apparently, in the late 90s, scientists were looking at a bunch of shit exploding in space when they caught their first glimpse of some dark energy. This may have put the universe into a state where it may or may not pop like a soap bubble at any given instant. Just because we looked at it. Holy balls.

Risk Level: 3

This ... this can't be right, can it? Surely the guy's just nuts. Then again, he appears to be one of the most prominent physicists in the country and has published a huge list of papers and books on the subject.

Then again, one of them was The Physics of Star Trek and, now that we think about it, we're pretty sure he stole this whole scenario from an episode of The Next Generation.

prosciutto and caramelized onion pizza





So just to confirm we’re all on the same page here – cheese, sweet caramelized onions, and then prosciutto.







Prosciutto and Caramelized Onion Pizza




Adapted from Pioneer Woman




(serves 4)



What You’ll Need:





1 pizza dough (I used TJ’s Whole Wheat – $1.29)



1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil ($.08 at $.08/tablespoon)



1 whole red onion halved and thinly sliced ($.59 at $.59/lb)



1/4 cup brown sugar ($.10 at $.75/lb)



sea salt



1/4 cup asiago or parmesan cheese ($.31 at $4.99/lb)



1 cup grated mozzarella or thinly sliced fresh mozzarella ($1.24 at $4.99/lb)





2-3 oz. prosciutto (about $2.00 for half a 5 oz. package at $3.99)



Instructions



Preheat oven to 500 degrees.



Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet. Add onions and brown sugar and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until onions are cooked and become sort of caramely.



Roll out pizza dough to desired thickness.



Brush dough with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt and asiago or parmesan cheese. Top with mozzarella and then caramelized onions.



Bake about 15 minutes in the oven at the lowest rack, until crust is golden brown. Remove from oven, top with prosciutto, slice, and prepare to be dazzled.



TOTAL: $5.61 or $1.40 per serving. Serve with a side salad and you’re probably around $1.75 per person.

Alzheimer cure semi-found thru Cloning

Cloning animals is legal in the United States, yet the South Koreans try to save the elderly having Alzheimers are Parkisons. They've cloned Tegon who can glow in the dark. The new mutations in Tegon can be swapped with any substituted with genes that trigger fatal human diseases. It's been done with somatic cell nuclear transfer technology :P



There are 268 illnesses that humans and dogs have in common.

recommended blog topic series

I decided to set aside a month in May 2001 towards a list of recommended blog topics from here and here.

Minneopa

I wasn't able to stay home and watch DirecTV or Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood, play Catharine on PS3, and create another facebook event. I had to travel stupid 85 miles to Mankato, Minnesota to see Minnaopa waterfall in 90 degrees Fahrenheit. No one showed up at my Facebook event to get acquaintances I've made to photograph with me (everyone else gets it with this double standard). I assure you that moderate enough to talk what they desire. I am sure my Facebook friends with 400 comrades are talented enough to be chosen so I am jealous of their getting invitations on days like these. I am sure this Brock who say "What the fuck you talking about?" is easily more talented with 750 comrades. So I called him a bitch! Too many of my Facebook friends are real bitches.

Uneducated Facebook users vote Camaro?

Why is the worst sports car voted the most on facebook ?


Ford Mustang (2) has better handling and is much better rounded than Camaro . Is lowering the bar further good for karma and friends? Yep. The culture is degenerating - proof!
