diels and alder were bored

I think Diels and Alder had too much time on their hands....and as a result, we have to put up with obnoxious reactions like the Nobel Prize winning Diels-Alder reaction!


This is going to be a short one tonight....I just wanted to have on record, GOODBYE MAPQUEST.....HELLOGOOGLE MAPS! Getting directions is a BIT cumbersome, but since this is beta, I expect it will improve. But the navigating of the map is just superb! The detail is amazing, all the way down to the street level and it is so easy to click and drag! Maybe I am just easily impressed, but I think this is quite an achievement in online mapping....nice work Google! I knew I should have gotten in on that IPO! Though they may be massacred on Valentine's Day....all eyes are on Google....

In case you weren't clear about our president's new social security plan, here are his own words on it....

THE PRESIDENT: Because the -- all which is on the table begins to address the big cost drivers. For example, how benefits are calculate, for example, is on the table; whether or not benefits rise based upon wage increases or price increases. There's a series of parts of the formula that are being considered. And when you couple that, those different cost drivers, affecting those -- changing those with personal accounts, the idea is to get what has been promised more likely to be -- or closer delivered to what has been promised.

Does that make any sense to you? It's kind of muddled. Look, there's a series of things that cause the -- like, for example, benefits are calculated based upon the increase of wages, as opposed to the increase of prices. Some have suggested that we calculate -- the benefits will rise based upon inflation, as opposed to wage increases. There is a reform that would help solve the red if that were put into effect. In other words, how fast benefits grow, how fast the promised benefits grow, if those -- if that growth is affected, it will help on the red.

Okay, better? I'll keep working on it. (Laughter.)

My god that man scares me....again I ask.....HOW DID HE GET ELECTED?!?!?!?!?! It's just insane that we fell for it! TWICE!

The GoDaddy.com commercial during the SuperBowl was so controversial that Fox pulled it from being run a second time! Seriously, they should have run that ad for 10 straight minutes during half time rather than listen to Paul McCartney lip sync in the most boring half-time show to date! GoDaddy.com founder Bob Parsons explains in his blog what is going on! The FCC needs a beating....

My personal favorite commercial during the game was the Ameriquest "Cat Killer" commercial....though Ameriquest may not be getting any business from Dave anytime soon....

I wasn't going to post any other news stories today, until I read this....forget being Martha Stewart's Apprentice! The next Apprentice can have paraplegic's vs quadraplegic's vs shark attack victims, how about that? Come on Trump! The ratings would be HUGE!....

....and don't forget, AUSTISTIC KIDS ROCK!
