A view askew

So I have decided to write my first blog entry about today, which for some reason was filled with funniness. As I make the 50 min walk to school because of this stupid bus strike.

I noticed people smiling, walking their dogs and carrying their skates to the world’s longest skating rink. All of a sudden, out of the corner of my eye (and with the coincidence of the song that happened to be playing on my ipod) are 2 squirrels doing crazy parkour moves from tree to tree all the while the song playing is “Gimme Dat Nut.”

As I continue my walk, more coincidental things seem to happen alongside the music. I see a classy man tying his skate on one knee, like in a Usain Bolt pose.

I listen to a song with a fast beat that keeps up with the man's take off. Unfortunately, as the song keeps going, the classy man had run into problems (Ron Artest- style). This man did not notice the holes they use for flooding the ice and BAMMM, complete and utter FAILURE. A lot like my addition to this blog:

I tried not to laugh but that's pretty hard considering what I’d just witnessed. SO all this in the quiet 50 minute walk to school that i would never have seen if it weren’t for the bus strike. So I really complain about not being able to take the bus or train to school??? YES, I don't care if you wanna call me lazy but as it looks like this strike won’t be over ‘til Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston are drug free. Til then, I just hope I get to see more unusual events.

Welcome to Party

"The medium is the message"
How that principle will work with this site, I have no clue.
I'm guessing the other authors and myself will be a mishmash of irreverent news, humor and commentary.

I'm a chemist, a wannabe tech geek who loves basketball. So I'm gonna suppose that will be my wheelhouse.
My inaugural post is on a gigantic scientific breakthrough : TeleportationEffectively transferring data (quantum spin state) distance of 1 m with 90% efficiency. Not exactly the Holodeck but its a start. Exciting time to be alive, prehaps this can change the way computers process info and create a new technological revolution. Or it could be used for some commercial aspect, if you harnessed that power you could create a very interesting way to get around.


Its fun to let your mind wander, and think of all the crazy shit you could do with teleportation,
but with this new discovery plus the ability to travel in space, I can't help but think something might eventually go wrong....

More from the rest of the crew as the week goes on.
