EliRobillardMay 30 Cows evolve before your very eyesBoom, Bessie's a star. The coolest thing about our new understanding of genetics: we can report on and observe evolution like it happened every day. Who knows, maybe it does. Now for the ethical debate: what's the difference between this happening naturally and if it happened through genetic manipulation in a lab?

Ten words or less: CarsI liked it better when it was called "Doc Hollywood." December 30 Online Radio and MySpace MusicI've set up a MySpace music site, posted a bunch of music on my own site, and will be playing live on the Dave and Chuck Show on December 31 from noon til 2pm, tune in to NatRadio.com here. November 20 Six-word storiesIt's infectious. Wired ran an article about six-word stories. They opened with the premise and a famous one by Hemingway ("For Sale: Baby shoes. Never used."), followed by the contributions of 33 authors. Then it hit the web and the floodgates were open. Now it's my turn for some concise self-indugence.
"Don't shoot!" "Then dance, save mama."
Forget me. Go be a wife. Wanted: Hemingway's corpse returned, any price.
Technically headlines, but based on real stories so hey:
Gorilla habitat advocate killed by poachers.
Bungee safety crusader dies in jump.
