With a name like grok, I'd definitely guess you're a big geek! :)

Well, welcome to Neatorama, MCJonesy - now that you've commented (and found out how easy it was), maybe I'll see you 'round the comment part more.

Glad that Neatorama can help you impress your boyfriend with useless trivia, Sise.

Happy birthday noticedneutrino! Good to hear about everyone's blogs, actually. It's always fun to visit other people's blogs.

Welcome Tom, llorch, and other lurkers! Glad to "meet" y'all!

I'm a big fan of MrBabyMan's work at digg (you have my support over the recent going on there).

Eric O.: hey, I remember that yawning article. Let's see here ... yup, here it is on Neatorama.

Justin Lynes: now I'm curious - what is america's oldest men's clothing store? :)

Aw, you guys missed the point: it was a very clever manipulation of spatial properties. And yes, it is very similar to the Godel Escher Bach book.

Pizza dough? No wonder my colon feels very cleansed after eating pizza....

Haven't you guys learned anything? You can most definitely have a service cat.

Can't sleep. Tarsier will eat me.

@NeuroGirl: When I was an undergraduate working in a university lab, I had to go to the building's roof for an experiment ... and ran into an unmarked door. Inside were three large pools filled to the brim with frogs!

What he's wearing under his kilt!? Forget that - they're blowing hot air up his ass! :)

@Ali S.: After listening to a LOT of men complaining about having to shave every few hours, I've come to terms with my unmanly inability to grow facial hair.

@Christophe: Actually, that reminded me of my first day in college. We all got these "care packages" with razor, shaving cream, and other goodies from college marketers. It was a small can of Gilette shaving cream - my first, actually. My roommate blew through his in about a week. Mine lasted the WHOLE year! Bwaahahahahahah!

@LHR: pants = trousers for us Yanks. :)

Hi guys, I'm a biochemist by training (I was a lab rat a loooong time ago), a small business owner by day and blogger by night.

Neatorama is my blog baby, but I do have a wonderful young daughter Maddy and a newly born son Zachary (we call him Ziggy). I've been married to my lovely wife Tiffany (who tenderly tolerated this blog but insisted on referring it as "Crack-O-Rama") for over 7 years, but we've been together a long time before that.

I'd tell you my favorite movie or TV show, but the truth is, since the birth of our daughter, my wife and I rarely go to the movies anymore. I don't even have time to watch TV - but at least I still read (albeit slowly now). My favorite author, right now at least, is Fredrick Forsyth - I'm trying to read all of his books.

We live in sunny Southern California and will probably be here only for a few more years. My wife and I have been wanting to move somewhere greener (and cheaper!), maybe Washington or Oregon.

If you catch a typo or grammatical error in a Neatorama post that I wrote, that's because 1) English is my second language and 2) I'm a naturally sloppy writer. Please accept this as part of Neatorama's charm (and send me an email or write a comment so I can correct the post).

Lastly, if you ever want to say hi, please email me - I'd love to hear from you! Thank you for reading Neatorama!

We love you too, Yve!

Ooooh, Rick Astley:

Together forever and never to part
Together forever we two
And don't you know
I would move heaven and earth
To be together forever with you

Good stuff! Now I have that song stuck in my head.

Same talk, right? Save TED the bandwidth and use Google's YouTube unlimited supply instead!

Ahahaha! It's bee-ard! Thanks joanne and Bunny!
