		<title>Sponges Gave Us Nerves</title>

Did you know that the lowly sponge is that looks like an underwater plant is actually an animal?  Yes, odd as it is, the sponge is a primitive animal which lacks many of the things that we expect from well, animals.  Primitive as they are though, scientists recently discovered that the nerves found [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Sponges Gave Us Nerves", url: "http://mikelopez.info/blog/archives/1772" });</script>]]></description>

		<title>Foul Mouthed Parrot</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So there&#8217;s this fella with a parrot. And this parrot swears like a sailor. I mean he&#8217;s a pistol. He can swear for five minutes straight without repeating himself.

Trouble is, the guy who owns him is a quiet, conservative type, and this bird&#8217;s foul mouth is driving him crazy.
One day, it gets to be too [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Foul Mouthed Parrot", url: "http://mikelopez.info/blog/archives/1771" });</script>]]></description>

		<title>Space Station Computers Infected with Password Stealing Virus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not even NASA is spared from computer virus infection.  In fact, not even the International Space Station which is orbiting hundreds of miles above the earth was spared.  A low risk virus identified as W32.Gammima.AG was detected on some of the laptop computers aboard the ISS last July 25.

Symantec describes W32.Gammima.AG as a [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Space Station Computers Infected with Password Stealing Virus", url: "http://mikelopez.info/blog/archives/1770" });</script>]]></description>

		<title>Robot with Biological Brain Unleashed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Creating computer brains that have powerful artificial intelligence is hard to do but what if one can use existing brains instead?  Meet Gordon.  A robot powered by a biological brain made of rat neurons.  Gordon&#8217;s brain is linked to its system via 60 electrodes that pick up electrical signals produced by the [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Robot with Biological Brain Unleashed", url: "http://mikelopez.info/blog/archives/1769" });</script>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After 5 years of waiting, I finally got my Comelec ID.  Yes, that&#8217;s 5 years of waiting!  Now, they should have made it quite perfect right?  Well, not really.
You see, my full name is Michael John Gonzalez Lopez.

		<title>Mike Lopez, Busby SEO Challenge Nasty Thief, Scraper and Spammer?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First, thanks a lot to Benj for giving me the heads-up on this forum post which alerted me of the fact that the script I&#8217;m using to help me build content on my Busby SEO Challenge sites has a bug that sometimes causes it to violate copyright issues.  As a result I decided to [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Mike Lopez, Busby SEO Challenge Nasty Thief, Scraper and Spammer?", url: "http://mikelopez.info/blog/archives/1767" });</script>]]></description>

		<title>High School Musical Ice Tour Philippines</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After about a month of non-stop reminding from my two daughters, we finally watched the High School Musical Ice Tour at the Araneta Coliseum here in the Philippines.  The kids enjoyed it but were also a bit frustrated to find out that the actual actors were not the ones performing on ice.  To [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "High School Musical Ice Tour Philippines", url: "http://mikelopez.info/blog/archives/1766" });</script>]]></description>

		<title>Finally Got My Adsense Pin</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Probably out of coincidence, I finally got my Adsense PIN 2 days after I rambled about the slow service of the Philippine Postal Corporation.  Funny thing is that this is re-send of my PIN which means that the first PIN mailer sent to me by Adsense is more or less lost somewhere.

While I&#8217;m of [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Finally Got My Adsense Pin", url: "http://mikelopez.info/blog/archives/1765" });</script>]]></description>

		<title>The Nova that Everyone Missed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Seeing a star explode in the sky is something that not all humans will see in their lifetime.  Sometimes, a star explodes so bright that it can be seen even during the day but sometimes it explodes just bright enough to be seen with the naked eye.  One such Nova explosion occurred last [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "The Nova that Everyone Missed", url: "http://mikelopez.info/blog/archives/1764" });</script>]]></description>

		<title>One Benefit of Increasing Gas Prices</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No, I&#8217;m not for higher gas prices but I just read this article that says that traffic deaths have been reduced as a result of higher gas prices.  It does make sense don&#8217;t you think?

Higher gas prices, less cars on the road.  Less cars on the road, less traffic related accidents.  Less [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "One Benefit of Increasing Gas Prices", url: "http://mikelopez.info/blog/archives/1763" });</script>]]></description>
