Cereal, Cats, and Life!

So as time has passed, I’ve been less and less motivated to publish articles here. It’s just become harder for me to embrace each project with the same enthusiasm I used to be able to. The reason? The narrative and identity of this blog being far too narrow. Things I want to project and share just don’t fit the theme I’ve modeled for the blog. I still of course, love cereal, cats and science, however I love a whole lot of other things that these categories exclude quite abruptly. Obviously anything could be considered a science to some degree, but to abuse the subjective nature of the English language and exploit the ambiguity of titles in order of capitulating to laziness seems… * Well, lazy. Lame. So I figured instead of acting like a boat clumsily but esoterically unanchored slowly drifting away from shore and gaslighting everyone at each meter until eventually appearing (to the dismay of every owner or passenger or whatnot I’m sure) on the distant horizon far from

What's up With Water? You've probably consumed a lot of it in your lifetime, because if you haven't, I'm guessing you wouldn't be reading this post... or you're perhaps one of the rare species that only needs a drink every few years. * In which case, hats off to you. As my dad always says, there are two things that deserve respect in this world: Oil and industry. The environment and 8 bit music. As it's hard to write about something that must make its way through the audiological senses of a person, I decided to instead write about the other intrinsic piece of our existence. * It's also the prerequisite to the invention of 8 bit music, so it earns real reverence in my mind. (more on this later) In 76.546% seriousness, humans live off the land. Literally everything we use in our day to day life is a natural resource extracted, manipulated and distributed in some way or another. Some resources are less vital and more recreational, suc

Here's another brief update to remind my scarce but dedicated fan base (well, scarce is at least one adjective my fan base is worthy of, if not dedicated...) that my meat computer is still whirring and stirring, and my flesh sticks are still pounding away like mechanical levers on the plastic keyboard at the base of a plastic computer to bring knowledge, ideas and intellectual prose to the world.  * That just means I'm still running this blog, and have plans for it. Though, if you didn't catch that, this blog probably isn't for you anyway... if you want to get things like that in the future, don't be scared away! My pretentiousness has an awkward sleep schedule, so you'll likely only become loosely acquainted with it.     Condensed within this complementary sentence package courtesy of your host, Richard Fairbourn, is a simple road map and teaser of the upcoming projects. *(Q and A Random Reader: Why are there no dates? Richard Fairbourn: This is because

An Introduction The premise of this section is to provide some random, deeper thoughts or ideas in a paragraph or less. Just little tidbits of science or less developed concepts introduced to the world and your brain for fun and less for a module of scientific research. The hope is that it will allow for intermittent entries to fill the gap between my larger articles. Enjoy! As I slapped a mosquito the other day, I considered the idea that these infernal bugs required blood to reproduce. Relating to darwinism, it shows that reproduction is the vessel of nature in some way or another to pass genes on. So this means that the only mosquito's with the ability to spread their genetic coding are also  the mosquito's that dodge my attempts to squash them. The one's that sneak up behind me, or run away when I swat at them the first time, only to return when I'm less weary. The mosquito's that use group tactics to distract or fly faster and take more blood...  The

IS POKEMON CAPITALIST PROPAGANDA? In short, no. But don’t stop reading now, because that has more to do with the underlying motivations of propaganda and less to do with the conspicuous metaphors, analogies and subsequent conclusions that can be extrapolated from this hit franchise. So join me, and lets meticulously ingest this game series bit by bit. * Haha, bit… because… it’s a game ...And... Bits. First the premise of the game. With the recent outbreak of the new installation Pokemon GO on the public stage and versely, the rapid rise in Nintendo’s stocks, the concept of carrying various themes of diverse, powerful monsters in pocket sized spheres and utilizing them to combat, trade and adore has become quite ubiquitous. But Pokemon GO only scratches the surface that dedicated fans- * Cough Cough Me Cough -have been exploring for years. By only analyzing the more commonly accepted spin of the game, one misses out on the overly dramatized plots, trademark locations in

It's been quite some time, but I assure you I'm still alive and motivated. The next article will hit soon, as it is nearing completion.  But I promise it will be well worth the wait.  Stay tuned!
