I just ate food out of a container that's "microwarmable." Is that even a word? and how do you get to be microwarmable? anyone?
oh, and how do you know if mayonnaise is bad or not? Would half a day out of the fridge do it? I'm thinking probably not, but if I'm wrong, I'll be mighty ill later on today.
awesome

I know you can have gaseous ions but it requires a lot of energy to get them to that state and I'm not sure it's something that can be produced as a side effect from a battery. Gaseous anions are much easier to produce than cations though so maybe it has a ring of truth to it. I'm not sure. I should probably RTFA.

Ok chemistry folks, perhaps you can explain something to me. I may have missed something in my chemistry training. As I recall from my study of ions, they exist in specific circumstances (e.g. in solution, plasma, etc.) Do ions exist in air? Can negative ions be created and sent into the air, without any cations produced? I feel like I missed that part of chemistry class. It all seems so bullshitty.
I ask because negative ion production in atmosphere is brought up when describing how BatMax (a rechargeable battery lifetime booster) works. The product on its own has some real scientific feel, but a lot of scientific bullshit. ("Electrons are transferred through the electrolyte inside the battery by the positive ions, which take them from the anode to the cathode (or positive pole).") Citing a product that I already feel is tenuous doesn't make me feel any better about it. So, any explanation?

that's stinky about the Unicorns.
now for some news about the friends of the Unicorns, HOT HOT HEAT:
Check out a short video clip of the new single, "Goodnight, Goodnight"
(it's a little more straight ahead than i would like, and the chorus is awkward. i think they may be suffering from third release blues, especially with Dante leaving.

uh, yeah... that's how it goes... holy shit Taylor... if I didn't have the faintest clue who you were, I'd be militantly angry at you.
but I think the fact that I know you a little bit, and Michael Franti is singing, makes it okay for you to be a complete asshole. ... but only under those exact conditions.

I bet Fox would give my show airtime. If not Fox I can always take it to Spike! TV... What could possibly be manlier than my TV show? Maybe another sweet Jesse James show where he makes fuckin rad bikes and then rides them through mexico shooting guns in the desert... but that's about it I think.
Alright, I like my track-record so far. That makes (count 'em!) THREE get-rich-quick schemes! I shoulda never wasted my time on this University bullshit. You don't need a degree to get rich quick. That's more like get rich slow. Ten years of school pissing money out of your ass going through Med, and then another ten years paying off those debts... and THEN getting rich. Fuck that shit.
