The Debunker: Is the Heart on the Left Side of Your Body?
With Valentine's Day coming up, we're all more aware than usual that there's no greater mystery than the human heart. But it would probably surprise you how little most people know about their own heart. Including where it even is.

Happy Music Monday! Opera is often considered to be complex, hard to get into, overly dramatic... and that's all wrong wrong wrong. Scott's here to set you all straight with five lovely opera pieces that you will enjoy. Or else.
Jacques Offenbach: Les Contes d'Hoffmann - Barcarolle
Let's start with a setting here: the day after having his heart broken by an underage robot, the writer awakes in a whore-covered tavern where his muse is protecting him. No, that's not the start of a new Warren Ellis anime! That's the second act of "The Trials Of Hoffman" and it's like an opera MADE for comic book nerds! Where you at, Christopher Nolan? Why can't you do for this what you did for Batman! Also, the music is lovely, as you'll see when you listen to the above video.
Happy Music Monday! The holiday season is now official over! Well, until October, at least. So let's purge those sad and lonely feelings from our hearts today so we can get on with enjoying the spring and summer. Scott's got five songs about heartbreak, just to wrap things up on V-Day.
What really makes this song is the slow, passionate build-up. It's like watching two people have a fight on the other side of a window. You can't hear what they're saying, but you know what's ending. By the time the lyrics start, you just wanna buy poor ol' Issac a beer.
More inside, right after the jump.
Happy Valenchuck's Day

At last, a computer that comes Google Plus ready right out of the box.
It's pretty clear to all the "savvy" insiders that Google Plus is well-positioned to dominate the social media market any day now! Take note, Facebook! As soon as we get these Chromebooks out there into the world at large there will be NOTHING that can stop the G+ domination! Soon we'll be G-liking our G-comments across all our G-friends G-statuses, and we'll be using our Samsung Chromebooks to make that happen! G-yeah! It's a new G-era!
And you can use the Chromebook to do other webby stuff as well, right out of the box, built-in virus protection, almost no setup, blah blah blah. But let's talk more about Google Plus, shall we? There's just SO MANY wonderful things that people can do there! Share, trade, work, play, make new friends, keep touch with old friends...
