Dog dreams. My dog makes weird yipping noises and looks like shes kinda running. WTF does she have to dream about? Her entire life revolves around sleeping, eating, and shitting.

My dog does this exact same thing. Almost like he is chasing something. I did read that dogs dream like we do. My dog is dreaming about bunnies and cats I bet. He hates bunnies and cats.

I want to know what Jason Whitlock and Joe Posnanski think of each other.

Both worked at the same paper for a decade, both were hugely successful, both were completely different people, both wrote completely different types of columns. I have always been interested in knowing more about their professional relationship.

yeah, I would like to invent wireless power things, too. I don't know why people are scared of it. It just uses magnetic fields that are around, anyway. I think. I would like to learn more.

humans and how they interact, personalities, brains work, body functionality, how to make them not age and/or live longer/repair parts that are breaking down, how they make decisions, what factors influence people to become who they are, do people really make choices or are they basically robot computers w/ a bagillion different bits of information entered into them, etc.

And according to WiPower, inductive charging systems work with about 80% to 90% efficiency -- roughly the same as plugging directly into a wall socket. That blows away the industry average for wired chargers, around 40%. So wireless juice is not only less messy, it's less hungry, too.
