So, some of you have probably already heard about the great white shark they have on display at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. I thought this was a pretty interesting article about what it took to get her there. It says they are going to release the shark back to the wild eventually. I hope I get a chance to see it before then.
The Silly Spider Monkey Fiasco's new short, "Lightning Brains" has been selected to be a part of Channel 102's debut screening in New York City. If you're in the greater metropolitan area, you can attend the screening and vote for "Lightning Brains" as your favorite short! Read more about it here.
My friend Clunky Robot posted yesterday (UPDATE: and today) about a Creation Science video I received. It was 2 hours long, but it is merely the first chapter of a 17-hour lecture series by "Dr. Dino", Dr. Kent E. Hovind, who runs his own ministry called "Creation Science Evangelism". After watching the video last night (You can watch it online as well), I decided to find out a little bit more about the good "Doctor". After just a few minutes of research, I found these websites which quickly show what a quack /whacko /con artist /criminal this guy is. He's also been featured on Da Ali G show. (Someone send me a link to a video clip of this PLEASE!)
None of this, however, changes the fact that I really want to visit his backyard amusement park, Dinosaur Adventure Land. After reading these reviews, it just sounds like too much fun to pass up. I guess a road trip to Pensacola will tide me over until the opening of the new Creation Science Museum in Kentucky.
UPDATE: Interestingly enough, even the people from Answers in Genesis think Kent Hovind is wrong, wrong, wrong.
A complete Tyrannosaurs skeleton is being auctioned online. Unfortunately, I can't really afford the $5.8 million reserve price. I am saving up for a TiVo.
Check out this awesome video for The Postal Service's new single, "We Will Become Silhouettes"... I believe this is the third single from their album, Give Up which came out almost two years ago. The video is directed by Jared Hess, who also directed Napoleon Dynamite. BONUS: Check the "Recent" section of Aaron Ruell's website for some photo's of the video shoot. Aaron played Kip in Napoleon Dynamite and is, apparently, a pretty good photographer.

Just when I thought it was safe to be a Southerner again... A new Creation Science museum is opening in Kentucky.
This $25 million complex will feature "Animated figures" of "Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, with a Tyrannosaurus rex pursuing them after their fall from grace..."
Some science type people have pointed out that dinosaurs and humans are separated in the fossil record by more than 60 million years. In response to this criticism, Ken Ham, president of Answers in Genesis says Were you there?
For only $1000, you can be a lifetime member of the Creation Museum! (Membership Fee is not tax deductible)
This video is pretty interesting too. Skip to about 3/4 of the way through it and learn what velociraptors were like "before sin." My favorite part, though, is at the end, when the guy refers to the dinosaurs as Missionary Lizards...
Today I added a feature to the site that will randomly select the little character on my banner. So far, I have made six different versions that will rotate at random each time you visit my site, or each time you reload the page. If you want to see them all, click here.
So my friend Chuck and I were at the Buford Highway Flea Market here in Atlanta this weekend, and I picked up this awesome artwork for my living room...
For all y'all suckas that don't know, that's The Notorious B.I.G., Marvin Gaye, 2pac, Jesus Christ, Jam Master J, Aaliyah and Bob Marely all chillin' out max in Heaven. Fo' shizzle.
For my 2005 New Year's Resolution, I'm going to follow in the footsteps of the Largehearted Boy and read 52 books in 52 weeks... I am already on book 2, Sea Dragons, by Richard Ellis. Book 1 was The Neal Pollack Anthology of American Literature, By Neal Pollack. For those of you who think that 52 books is an awful lot of reading for one year, don't worry. I am going to count graphic novels too... Check back throughout 2005 to keep updated on my Quest for Literacy. Also, feel free to leave me comments suggesting some good books to put on the list.
I am working on a major update to my webpage. It should be done soon. In the mean time, if there are some problems, please be patient. Thanks a lot... I think this year I will actually make more than a half dozen updates...
