unredeemable waste of effort

A waste of effort to some… a nightmare to others.

The view from Mars…

Check out The Boston Globe blog entitled Martian Skies, and pay close attention to the 7th and 8th pictures down on the page, both of which are animated and hard to miss. If these pictures are to be believed then, put quite simply, Mars is inhabitated by giant Air Elementals clearly hell-bent on ridding the universe of humans. Just LOOK.

Evil is Sometimes Really Big

Just when I thought I wasn’t going to post or make any further comments on spiders and the pure evil that they are (again, despite their obvious benefits to the environment), something like this comes along that makes me want to get in a shower for a day.

Supers

Superheroes have made quite the comeback in television, film, and video-gaming over the last few years. I’m all for the comeback, especially when well done. It has gotten me to thinking a lot about super powers, and what the world would really be like if they existed.

Do you think, given the current state of the world and the general idea of self, that if super powers were present in a select few, that most of that group would tend to use their powers in selfish ways? Would powers just be a way to be popular, rich, or esteemed? How many of the group, let’s say of 100 people, would choose to use their powers to help others and be true heroes?

Let’s give out a power or two here: If you had super-human strength, super-human healing and toughness, and the ability to fly, what would you do? Would you use your powers for truth and justice? Would you use them to horde wealth, draw in ranks of goons to do your bidding, and establish an ellaborate, if not completely ineffective, super-stronghold shaped like your head?

Who has thoughts? Are they super-human?

Multi-touch Sensor = Multi-slamma-jamma

If you like computers and the wonderful things we can accomplish with them, if you like science fiction becomming reality, or if you know what’s good for you, then you’ll go watch this and marvel and what will be available to all of us to use probably much quicker than any of us thought possible. Amazing stuff.

Planet Lost

I woke up this morning believing there were nine planets in our solar system. After a little morning news, I’ve discovered there are now only eight. Pluto has been reclassified as a dwarf planet and is no longer counted in with the other eight “classical” planets. What does this mean to you? Are you sad? Am I sad?

Shallow roots of humanity

Mathematically, Adam and Eve existed, and we’re all related. A very interesting article that I can’t explain better than it can.
