In case you didn’t see this yesterday, it was showing on the “related” sidebar and its pretty good too. Its not just Sesame street, but a bunch of other ones too and its funny as hell.

This is hilarious, its pretty sfw if you have the sound turned off. Otherwise people might wonder what you’re watching. And you should be wondering, more importantly, what the F! are your kids watching… LOL

Thanks to Ruiz for this one.

Great commercial, what it would be like if programmers built airplanes. Haha, this is total geek humor so if you don’t at least smile at it, you probably never worked with developers.

These were funny…
“Some people like to climb mountains, I like to build planes… in the air.”
“its crisp, its refreshing.”
“thats’ why I build airplanes, in the sky.”

You remember that guy, kept coming up in MTV. His name is Rahzel and he does a song titled “if your mamma only knew” and it is a cool song, it has a good beat and rhythm Continue Reading “better than Rahzel” »

Clever musical video. This is a very well done 3-d animation where the instruments are perfectly synchronized to the music. It must have taken a lot of time and effort to make the video. Its a bit long but its good. Hope you like it. Does anyone know if the song is original or if its borrowed? Continue Reading “perfect musical and 3-d sync” »

here it is, found it.

Wait, what?

I had to read the actual title twice because I immediately thought this was a mistake or something, I guess subconsciously I thought something was wrong with it. The real title of the article is “Humans Carry More Bacterial Cells than Human Ones” and It seems to me that there is something odd with it grammatically. But anyway, it got my attention which was good because this article reveals some interesting facts. I also wonder, how can it be, if we have that many more, wouldn’t we see them physically? It turns out, the answer is no because they are much smaller than our own cells.

So here’s some of the highlights.

• There are 10 times more bacterial cells in your body than human cells.
• Babies ingest mouthfuls of bacteria during birthing and pick up plenty more from their mother’s skin and milk
• There are estimated to be more than 500 species living at any one time in an adult intestine
• Bacteria produce chemicals that help us harness energy and nutrients from our food
• Intestinal bacteria appear to keep our immune systems healthy

And these got me wondering other stuff about bacteria so here’s other tidbits I found.

• Bacteria grow anywhere on Earth.
• Bacteriology is the study of bacteria, which is itself a branch of microbiology.
• Example of bacteria caused diseases: cholera, syphilis, anthrax, leprosy, tuberculosis.
• Antibiotics fight against bacterial diseases.
• Consumables made with bacteria in the process: cheese, yogurt, beer amongst others.
• Research suggests that spices were used as anti-bacterial ingredients, and that their flavor-enhancing properties are more of a secondary benefit.
• These spices, to name a few and some of the most popular, are considered anti-bacterial; garlic, onion, allspice, hot peppers, ginger etc.
• The same research suggests why food in hot-climates is significantly richer in flavor than food from cold-climates. Think Thai vs Swedish. The connection comes as this: In warmer temperatures, people knew to use more spices to keep their food edible for longer periods of time. While in colder weather, this might not have been such a problem thus the need for spices was significantly less.
• This also suggests that spices were probably not used to “cover up” spoiled food, but to prevent it from becoming spoiled in the first place.
• This research I guess is known part of the antimicrobial hypothesis of the origin of spices.
• The top 30 anti-bacterial spices:
  • Garlic, Onion, Allspice, Oregano, Thyme, Cinnamon,
  • Tarragon, Cumin, Cloves, Lemon grass, Bay leaf
  • Capsicums (peppers), Rosemary, Marjoram, Mustard
  • Caraway, Mint, Sage, Fennel, Coriander, Dill, Nutmeg
  • Basil, Parsley, Cardamom, Pepper, Ginger, Anise seed
  • Celery seed and lemon/lime
• There are good germs and bad germs.

So I got to play with my Poweriser this weekend for a couple of hours. I ran around the lake for a couple hours. When I say I ran, I mean I hoped around clumsily. It was a lot of fun though, I can’t wait to go again.

When I got back home, at the end, I got a little bit of video. I’m slowly making progress. From standing up, to walking to “jogging” and now jumping, albeit awkward, but it is jumping.

Here are 2 videos, the first one is last week, just starting to attempt jumps. The second one is about a week later (last Sunday) and I’m a lot more comfortable trying to get air.
