Lebron James & the Cavs

Here's a post for the Cavs. Is this the year?

Orange Juice II

The following pictures were taken on May 7, 2007. As you can see, our mold community has blossomed. Two now have large green spots on them. If you look closely at the side view you can see a large white 'haze.' We're not sure what this is. Both Zachary and I have noticed symptoms of allergies, but we cannot attribute this directly to the experiment. It is spring, after all.

Chess Boxing

All right, I just caught the tail-end of a SportsCenter segment and just had to look this up on wikipedia.

A match between two opponents consists of up to eleven alternating rounds of boxing and chess sessions, starting with a four-minute chess round followed by two minutes of boxing and so on. Between rounds there is a 1 minute pause, during which competitors change their gear. The form of chess played is "blitz chess" in which competitors have a total of twelve minutes. Competitors may win by knockout, checkmate, a judge's decision or if their opponent's twelve minutes of chess time elapses.

And, of course, it's on youtube.

Richard Cheese

I first came across this guy in Dawn of the Dead. I liked the movie, and I especially liked his rendition of Down with the Sickness.

Some Quotes

Wasn't it Nelson Mandela who once said, "Quotes are for dummies?" Though true it may be, I enjoy finding the short clever things that people have said. There are quotes that everyone's heard, and then there are some that require a little digging. Here are a few of my favorites.

"The living man's dream is the dead man's life."
- Agnesë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu

"It's hard to fail at life. The standard's pretty low."
- Anna Eleanor Roosevelt

"Think long. Think hard. Don't think about last night."
- William Alston

"Only as corpses do we reach 100 percent efficiency."
- Nikolai Tesla

Robot Jox (Achilles versus Alexander)

Zac alerted me to this movie and insists that I watch it. Honestly, it looks awesome.

Orange Juice I

This speciman was born on April 20, 2007 as a screwdriver. Forgotton by a man who will remained unnamed, it remained on our livingroom table for well over a week and we intend to let it be until we move out a month from now. Sometime around the 25th of April enough of the contents had vanished that it was but half full. Zac remedied the situation by emptying a beer into it. Sometime around the 27th Zachary spilled some of its contents. There is a slight smell.

The following pictures were taken on May 1, 2007. I will post updates on any developments.



Also: Thanks much to my very generous sister who got me the camera with which these pictures were taken.
