Cool interactive gizmo that zooms down to the cellular level to give you an idea of the relative scale of cells. Look at me, getting all sciency and edu-mah-cational.

Main Theme from Californication - Tree Adams
Download now or listen on posterous
Man, I love this show. This season is really good, so far. Someone emailed me this MP3 when I mentioned on the plex.app forums that I really liked hearing the theme songs on each page of TV shows in the scraped listings. At slightly over 30 secs, I might be running afoul of Fair Use, so get it before the takedown notice. (Please don't sue me!)

Video games partly to blame for Richmond HS gang rape - San Francisco Chronicle
Take the poverty-driven frustration of inner-city Richmond, a youth street culture that glorifies thugs and applauds degradation of women, and the desensitization of young men through violent video games, music and language, and you have a template for trouble.
I thought we were past scapegoating video games for violent behavior but apparently not, according to SFGate's report on the gang rape of a 15-year-old girl at Richmond High School last week.
In addition to video games, the following items were cited as contributing to the attack:
- poor lighting
- the victim 'trying too hard to please the school's bad boys.'
- lack of fences
- 'street culture'
I have an idea, let's blame the fucking anti-social deviants that beat and raped a girl for 2-1/2 hours and left her semiconscious underneath a picnic table (and maybe drop Kevin Fagan a line and let him know what an awesome job he did writing that article: kfagan@sfchronicle.com )
There are plenty of people that grow up in situations as bad, or worse, and they somehow manage to avoid luring a girl into a dark courtyard to gang rape her.
