Hey Scott, are you a fan of Deadmau5? I can't figure out if this is up your alley nor not.

NFL 2012 Week 10: Sick week

I was sick this week, so all you get is my picks, but not in order of game time.  These picks are in order of confidence.

MIAMI (-6) over Tennessee
Indianapolis (-3) over JACKSONVILLE
Atlanta (-2.5) over NEW ORLEANS
MINNESOTA (-2) over Detroit
CHICAGO (-1) over Houston
Denver (-4) over CAROLINA
SAN FRANCISCO (-11.5) over St. Louis
Kansas City (+12.5) over PITTSBURGH
Nyg (-4) over CINCINNATI
BALTIMORE (-7.5) over Oakland
NEW ENGLAND (-11) over Buffalo
PHILADELPHIA (+1.5) over Dallas
SEATTLE (-6) over Nyj
San Diego (+3) over TAMPA BAY

I am least confident about the Chargers, but my lack of confidence as a Chargers fan is independent of my lack of confidence via statistical analysis.

This is f***ing awesome

What the F*WK? "The Ultimate...Renewable Energy?"

Renewable Energy is somewhat of a big thing. It's defined as "Energy that can be replenished at the same rate as it is used." What, then, should we call something that a) generates 10x more energy than is required of it, while b) powering itself? That's precisely what this new technology from researchers at the University of Michigan is proposing to do: they're proposing to 'power your heart'*, with your heart!

(*Yes, I realize pacemakers don't truly power your heart, but it's more fun to relate this to The Circle of Life)

NFL 2012 Week 9: Informative, if not entertaining

I'm going to wait until after this week when everyone has played 8 games before I update my playoff predictions.  Philip Rivers went 18 for 20 with two touchdowns and a stupid interception.  In fact, assuming someone in the stands caught his throw away, not a single pass touched the ground.  The Chargers have 4 wins, half against the Chiefs.  The Chargers have a +28 point differential overall, and a +35 against the Chiefs.  I'm glad the Chargers got to play them twice, but we're going to need to win against 5 or 6 other teams to make the playoffs.  Losing to the Browns really, really hurt.
