Crazy But Able

I accidently posted something I was still in the middle of editing, so if you saw it, lucky you. I haven’t decided if I’m going to finish it as a blog post, or as a page on my web page. The funniest joke in the post so far is the phrase “Bill O’Wrongilly”. […]

Awesome! While trolling fark, I found this op-ed from the Cheboygan Daily Tribune which claims that NASA space launches are causing “peculiar weather”.
From watching space launches on television, you have seen how much force it takes to get even an unmanned space vehicle off the ground. It takes even more if there […]

I lost your e-mail address, drop me a line at “jowilson at jowilson dot org”. How’s life in Ohio these days? Are you even still in Ohio?

Okay, to finish up my list of food I ate at the fair: two spam samples (I had my mom go through the line to get a second spam sample for me), another shish-ka-bob, a root beer float, sauteed alligator and french fries, and the aforementioned scotch egg. I got the description wrong […]

I remain greatly amused that I can post to my weblog from the state fair. Not quite as amused as last year, but still pretty cool.
So far, we went to see the northern alliance radio network guys, got my “If I don’t plug it, it won’t sell: how to get people to buy […]

Ever heard of the Unarius Academy of Science?
A couple months back I visited a Unarius museum in El Cajon, California with my cousin and uncle.
This picture gives you a good idea about what I saw there:
