Haven’t posted on this thing in a while… I’ve been too busy at my day-job, where I clean and gut chickens for a living. Just kidding! It’s not much of a living.
Anyway, I found this website today from a link on Crooks and Liars. All I can say is, wow. Great idea, beautifully implemented. And [...]

My buddy Greg has been saying this for years–a medicine “created by a school teacher” is not something to brag about and is no substitution for drugs crafted through the rigorous application of the scientific method.
