Maybe an Iowa State Fair Contest Would Settle the Score in UFO Flap
I just saw the news story about the whistleblower David Grusch a couple days ago. Apparently, Mr. Grusch’s personal medical record was obtained through the state of Virginia’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and released to the public. He was one of three people who testified recently at the House Oversight Committee hearing on Unidentified…

The Dragon Breathes Fire Again
Sena and I saw a news video about a technology called “DAX” which uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) the other day which promises to reduce or even eliminate pajama time for physicians trying to get their clinical note dictations done during the day instead of taking them home for several more hours of work. The video…

New Dominant Covid-19 Variant EG.5
There is a new dominant Covid-19 variant called EG.5. It’s also called Eris. It’s descended from the XBB strains. It’s in the Omicron family and there is no indication it causes more severe disease and would be susceptible to current vaccines.

The Lesser-Known Quote by Wonko the Sane
A couple of days ago, Sena and I were playing cribbage and she thought she had a higher scoring hand than she actually did. She immediately realized it and scored it right. She commented that, at first, she thought she saw something she didn’t actually see. I quipped that “First you have to see it.”…

FDA Rumor Control Website
I just found the FDA Rumor Control website. It contains a lot of helpful information about the misinformation we often find about health care products and diseases like Covid-19, vaccines and more. It’s an eye-opener.

Tickle Tickle Tickle!
I saw an interesting article about how lab rats react to researchers tickling them. I had no idea rats had a funny bone. They’ll even chase your hand to get tickled. When they’re tickled, they make laughing noises that are just under the threshold of human hearing, but the sounds can be heard when converted…

Tough TV Choices
I have a couple of choices for TV shows tonight. I could watch an X-Files rerun on the Comet network or the “season finale” of The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch. Sena and I have been watching the X-Files reruns the last few nights. We didn’t know it was on until Sena happened to catch a…

The Empire Fires Back
I saw this reply tweet posted to the web. It was the reply of Sean Kirkpatrick, PhD, the director of the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) in reply to the testimony of the witnesses at the House Committee’s UAP hearing on July 27, 2023. I’m not sure we’ll hear much more about it.

We Are All Still Learning to Play Pong
I noticed an article the other day about Monash University in Australia getting funding for further research into growing brain cells onto silicon chips and teaching them how to play cribbage. Just kidding, the research is for teaching the modified brain cells tasks. They succeeded in teaching them goal-directed tasks like how to play the…

House Oversight Committee UAP Hearing Today
We watched the House Oversight Committee UAP Hearing today and it was one of the most interesting presentations we’ve seen in a long while. I make fun of the topic a lot but I thought all the witnesses were credible. In my opinion, the most credible witness today was retired Commander David Fravor of the…
