Coke can be used to save lives: i knew it was good for something besides just being delicious

EVERYONE...go here and join the facebook group setup by Simon Berry to encourage Coca-Cola to help save lives of children in Africa. The distribution outreach of Coke is huge, able to reach almost everyone in the world. Meanwhile there are children in Africa dying from dehydration. Berry proposes to use Coke's distribution channels to help distribute Rehydration salts to these people in need...pretty awesome.

Cincinnati Stepping It's Bike Friendly Game Up?

So apparently Cincinnati has decided to build a bike shop/lockers/shower facility on the riverfront, to accomodate bike commuters. This is awesome news and proves that my senior project was actually worth while...haha.

Just let the people ride their bikes

Having ridden BMX for quite some time now, I have had my fair share of stupid run-ins with cops, but this is straight up ridiculous. This happened at this month's Critical Mass in New York, and as far as anyone knows the bike rider did nothing to even deserve a verbal scolding, let alone this. People need to understand that bike riding is a good thing, and stop giving bike riders so much trouble.

Large Hadron Collider delayed yet again

The Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland was supposed to start up for the first time yesterday, and I had fully prepared myself for the collapse of the Universe...and nothing happened. They ended up delaying their search for the "Higgs" particle until August. Anyhow, check out the video because even if you don't understand any of it, (I sure don't) it still is pretty cool.

The Catholic Church says Aliens are People Too...

On Thursday 15 May, L’Osservatore Romano, the Vatican newspaper, endorsed the possibility that the universe could contain intelligent life beyond Earth, while insisting that aliens would be “our brothers” and “children of God” as much as human beings are.
The Pope’s astronomer, José Gabriel Funes, a Jesuit priest, told L’Osservatore Romano that there would be nothing surprising about the existence of intelligent extra-terrestrials. He said: “Just as there is a multiplicity of creatures on Earth, so there could be other beings created by God [beyond it].”
