On Some Advice For Young Grads
@ehcotton Having showed up to work on Friday possibly still drunk, in a quasi-management position, and being 33, allow me to say: YES.

On Hollywood To Ruin My Favorite Book
This sucks. I would 100% prefer Uwe Boll were making it. Because the writer of the oh-so-fine Angels & Demons will only serve to make a script that terrible people will love, and lose the magic of the book. And that's the only coherent thought that's coming through my staticy-rage-filled brain at this news.

On It is the Season to Embrace Mulled Wine!
So, I'm fiercely, massively, go-to-the-hospital-in-an-ambulance allergic to red wine. (Which is a shame in all ways.) But this looks incredibly delicious. For those of us who have this problem, does anyone have a good idea on which white wine to use for this? Jealousy causes my eyes to glaze over when confronted with descriptions of red wines.

On The NASA Announcement: A New Form of Life? Maybe!
This is super cool. My college biochem department had a speaker in about Mono Lake, and the "breathing" arsenic that the article talks about is a whole arsenic cycle, just like the carbon cycle in plants/animals, only it's arsenic in different reduction states. That the cycle is this intense is straight-up awesome.

On Is The Internet Making Us All Crazy Or Just Me?
I noticed this first with cellphones. When people only had landlines, I'd always imagine them in their kitchen (or bedroom or whatever) when I was talking to them. Now I don't really picture people when I talk to them on the phone, and conversations enter into the same sort of space.

On 'Pet Sematary': A Reminder That Zombie Cats Make Terrible Pets
My parents had a video production business, next to a pet cemetery, and we didn't have the right amount of names for the amount of pictures that needed to go into the reel. I promise you: some bearded dude was labeled "Mohammad Schnauzer." It was 2 AM, in 1995, and the video was due the next day, and I promise you I am telling you the truth.
