Dear President Obama,
Clearly I’m obsessed with you - as is evidence by the liberal propeganda machine that is my blog. But I want you to know: I am not on board with this.

In July, 1798, Congress passed, and President John Adams signed into law “An Act for the Relief of Sick and Disabled Seamen,” authorizing the creation of a marine hospital service, and mandating privately employed sailors to purchase healthcare insurance.

Come senators, congressmen Please heed the call Don’t stand in the doorway Don’t block up the hall For he that gets hurt Will be he who has stalled There’s a battle outside And it is ragin’ It’ll soon shake your windows And rattle your walls For the times they are a-changin’.

Josh's 2010 Half Marathon Playlist
I’m running the 2010 NYC Half Marathon this Sunday with Petra. Here is what I’ll be listening to while I run, in order. This isn’t an exercise in diversity or good musical taste. This is just hard hitting, familiar, inspiring songs that I love. So you can probably guess which bands I’ll be listening to.

Pearl Jam Saturday Night Live Primer →
I am super excited for tonight’s SNL with Pearl Jam making their 4th appearance as musical guest. I wasn’t into the band when the played the first time in 1992, but I absolutely was into them for their second appearance in 1994. I remember watching the VHS recording the next morning like a dozen times. They opened with Not For You, which at that point was unreleased. They wasted their...

A petition to make Hella- the official SI prefix for 10^27, for measuring things bigger than Yotta- (the prefix for (US) billion trillion). For instance: ‘the sun (mass of 2.2 hellatons) would release energy at 0.3 hellawatts.’ It would also come in handy for eventually measuring Internet traffic and US national debt.
