The 2 or 3 of you who read this blog will see a slow-down in posting. I just launched my new site Nerdy Nothings.

I will be spending a lot of my time posting there. So, come take a look!

Iceland, Eyjafjallajökull – May 1st and 2nd, 2010 from Sean Stiegemeier on Vimeo.

“Rogozov, then 27, had come to Antarctica in 1961 as part of the Sixth Soviet expedition, which established his nation’s third base on the continent, the Novolazarevskaya Research Station. On April 29, with the autumnal nights quickly getting longer and a fierce storm raging all around, Rogozov began to feel ill. He woke up that morning feeling lethargic, and got weaker as the day went on…”

“…This is it. I have to think through the only possible way out: to operate on myself . . . It’s almost impossible . . . but I can’t just fold my arms and give up…

“…Working by feel, he cut through skin, muscle, and fat tissue, and then used the mirror to watch the knife as he came to the delicate business of exposing the peritoneum, the membrane that surrounds the internal organs. After half an hour he felt weak and dizzy, and had to stop for a rest.”

I am beyond impressed. Luckily he was a doctor, but even still, that takes more than know-how!

This is him a week later, messing around with his pet penguin. (not really his pet.. maybe)

sorry about the commercial…

17 year-old honor student runs onto the field in Citi Ballpark. Was he drunk or on drugs? No. Did he ask his dad for permission? Yes. Did his dad say yes? No. Should he have listened to his dad. Yes.

Did he deserve to get tasered? Hell no.

He was just running around on a baseball field. I think the arrest after he was caught would have been lesson learned. What if the kid had a heart condition and croaked right there on the field. Use your brain, copper.

The bulls need a coach and Jackson’s longtime girlfriend/Lakers’ V.P. says he might be leaving the Lakers but will most definitely coach again next year. This is an intriguing possibility. I, for one, would love to see Jackson back on the west side meditating with Noah, Rose and… D. Wade. It could go a long way in enticing D. Wade to get his ass up here. I doubt they could to pay him, especially if they sign one of the big 3, but i can still dream.
