NFL Draft Diary

This past weekend, me, my brothers, and some friends convened to watch the NFL Draft (the first round in full - all six-plus hours of it). It’s one of the coolest weekends every year. It’s so cool, that my brother Mike decided to chronicle our adventures with a tape recorder.
Here are the people who will […]

Scientists Simulate Half A Mouse Brain

Tacking on another notch in the “road until the Matrix movies comes true” chart, scientists have successfully been able to create a device that simulates half a mouse brain.
A mouse brain contains something like eight million neurons, each of which can form up to 8,000 neural connections to other neurons - meaning, in effect, even […]

NFL Draft Time!

In the Kenitz household, the NFL Draft time is nearly as sacred as the Superbowl. I’m going to be pretty much inactive this weekend as we all group together along with a few friends and revel in the pure football coverage that ESPN provides Saturday and Sunday.
My older brother Mike will be taking down […]

Text Messaging Makes You Dumb

Another study confirming the obvious was released Thursday, this time in Ireland. Apparently, if you send text messages like “wr R u?”, you’re not actually developing your language skills.
The report laments that, in many cases, candidates seemed “unduly reliant on short sentences, simple tenses and a limited vocabulary”.
I love technology, but I think one […]

Alec Baldwin’s Million-Dollar Solution: Dr. Phil

Alec Baldwin is definitely making the best of a bad situation. Instead of complaining about being horribly embarrassed after his message to his daughter was released, he’s signing on to all the top TV shows and working on a book.
In other words, Alec Baldwin has gone from run-of-the-mill liberal celebrity to controversial icon.
Consider this:

Alec […]

Dan Speaking to Class at Cardinal Stritch University

I’m making a glorious return of destiny to my alma mater, Cardinal Stritch University, this morning at 9:30 a.m. in order to speak to a class on Mass Media.
I’m not good at public speaking, and I’ve only prepared what I’m going to say in my head, so here’s how I imagine my speech going:

Ellis Weiner: Conservatives Aren’t Funny

I’ve been accused of not being funny on multiple occasions when I write columns in the Journal-Sentinel, and I’ve also been accused of being funny. I don’t know what to believe sometimes, but according to Ellis Weiner, since I’m a conservative, I am decidedly unfunny.
Why? According to Weiner, most of us aren’t actually conservatives. […]

Scientists Discover Earth-like Planet

Being the nerd-like follower of space news that I am, I think it’s likely you won’t hear anything in the news today as significant as this.
A telescope in the Chilean Andes, of all places, spotted a planet 20.5 million light years away that has many of the same characteristics of Earth.
If you’re familiar with Rare […]

You’re Bleeping Right, Sergeant

Sgt. Jim Wilt is outraged that America honored 33 Virginia Tech students with national media attention and by flying our flags at half staff while our dead in Iraq get no such honor.
Thanks for pointing this out, Sgt. Wilt. You’re bleeping right.
Here’s why.
If liberals are obsessed with quoting how many U.S. troops are killed, […]

What would Archbishop Amato Think of America?

In this world of selective “Al Sharpton” moralism, it’s nice to have an organization that isn’t afraid to tell us what is and isn’t good.
Like the Catholic Church.
Archbishop Angelo Amato, secretary for the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, denounced gay marriage and abortion as being part of terrorism with a human face. […]
