It’s now 9AM EDT and not a moment too soon. I’ve somehow managed to claw my way through my third Blogathon and we managed to pick up a few more sponsors during the night. All told we raised $268.63 for the Humane Society of Huron Valley and I’d like to thank each and every one . . . → Read More: And this is a wrap for this year’s Blogathon! (#Blogathon)

I am too tired to muster the usual outrage over what is becoming an all too-familiar story so I’ll let it speak for itself: Bishop remained silent about 25 abusive priests – Chicago Sun Times The former No. 2 official of the Catholic church in Chicago admitted that he knew 25 priests broke the law . . . → Read More: Yet another Bishop accused of covering up for pedophile priests. (#Blogathon) And the sun is well over the horizon here in Michigan. I have officially run out of sources of topics for things to blog about. My brain is barely functional as it is. ***Dave and I engaged in a nonsense IM exchange in a sad attempt to keep each other awake and amused about 45 . . . → Read More: It’s now 8:25AM. (#Blogathon) Scientists have developed a potential breakthrough that may cure blindness in some people: Of the three patients, two were legally blind but can now read the big letters on an eye chart, while the third, who could previously read the top few rows of the chart, is now able to pass the vision test for . . . → Read More: Possible blindness cure with stem cell contact lenses? (#Blogathon) Yes that paragon of maturity and stable thinking known as the “Octomom” has signed an agreement to make her 14 children stars of a reality TV show in Europe: Film crews will not follow Suleman and her children 24 hours a day, but will document certain milestones, such as birthdays and special events, her lawyer . . . → Read More: Octomom lands a reality TV contract for her kids. (#Blogathon) … oh, wait, that’s actually the sun coming up. It’s about 22 mins before 7AM here in Michigan and, had this been a weekday, I’d normally would have been an hour into my daily routine. Melvin, the Official SEB Cat, is taunting me laying curled up next to my thigh and snoring as loud as . . . → Read More: I can see the light at the end of the tunnel… (#Blogathon) The folks at the Blue Brain Project have been hard at work developing artificial brains – they’ve already simulated a rat brain – and they believe they can have a working human brain replica in about 10 years or so: Around two billion people are thought to suffer some kind of brain impairment, he said. . . . → Read More: Scientist claims artificial brain is just 10 years away. (#Blogathon) And I can prove it: Click to embiggen! See? Wide awake. No problem. I could do this for days. And the fatigue is definitely starting to set in. I know this because I am doing something I am normally loathe to do. I am watching the SciFi Channel (I refuse to use the “new” spelling). Worse, I’m watching one of their really bad original horror movies. A haunted ship movie called The Triangle featuring . . . → Read More: Yeah, I’m starting to get low on things to blog about. (#Blogathon) This is another news item that’s been out for awhile and I’ve been meaning to mention it because it deals with a topic near and dear to me: Swearing. For the longest time it was assumed that swearing was a maladaptive response that increased the perception of pain. Then a couple of researchers decided to . . . → Read More: Swearing appears to lower perceptions of pain. (#Blogathon) |
