Newsvine – Gorillas Now ‘Critically Endangered’
“Great apes are our closest living relatives and very special creatures,” Russ Mittermeier, head of IUCN’s Primate Specialist Group, told The Associated Press. “We could fit all the remaining great apes in the world into two or three large football stadiums. There just aren’t very many…
It’s more vivid today that it was last year, after five years. Numbers don’t mean much to me, other than a means to count. Five years, six years… what’s the difference besides another year?
Today is Tuesday though, which is different because it isn’t.

I was blog browsing this fine Friday evening, when I saw a link to Al Gore’s recent book at Amazon. It sparked a memory. A few months ago I got an email from Al encouraging me to check it out, but I was disappointed to find it wasn’t available in my preferred format: ebook.

I was a victim of repetitive motion, and the havoc it can wreak on your joints. It had gotten to the point that ibuprofen warranted it’s own line in our budget. A while back I decided to try a different tack. I picked up a twenty dollar track…
Those of you lured in by my title (no doubt statistics junkies one and all) are in for a little disappointment… there’s no rhyme or reason behind my titles, I just go with the first thing that pops into my head, wether it makes sense or not.
One of my guilty pleasures is pulling up the stats on this site, provided by WordPress. I say “guilty” because I feel like I’m…
This entry’s sole purpose is to complain, whine, and grumble. If you have any loose razor blades lying around, or anything else that could do you or anyone else harm, it’s strongly recommended that you put them away before reading any further.
I’ve been trying to find something to get excited about. Specifically, I’m looking for something to look forward to (there are lots…
