Sign of the Times
I found the picture at this site called "Boners.com." A few other funny pics there, some a bit, shall we say, naughty? And I found that site from looking for a game site, which is actually Darkside Online.com, but instead typed in simply Darkside.com, which is affliated with Rotten.com, a pretty sick site, interesting in a ghoulish sorta way. I advise against the squeamish and, or immature for looking at any of these sites. And if they're too disturbing I'll take the links down. Say the word Czarina.
Peace All!

Royal Journal of Found Art. Patricia Piccinini's art. 50 years of pictures in China. Lastly, the Ruins of Detroit. I love this site. Stuff like this breaks my heart.

Lots of Bang for the buck, but lonely stars~
I love the line, "These stars were like the sun, but a very lonely sun." Weep! Weep! The beginning of the Universe was sooo sad! "No boat no light, no motor car, not a single luxury!" It's funny when theoretical science is warped into common terms, so that those less schooled can understand it (myself not unwithstanding). But this article goes beyond that, as if with the one hand to slap the faces of anyone who believes in God, and with the other hand to make anyone not believing in God to feel all alone, sooo lonely. I don't know, it seemed a bit trifling.
I've read some similar theories, possibly seen a Nova about the earlier stars being mostly helium and hydrogen. That they helped form the heavier elements, and that there were development periods of the Universe where there were no stars, then some, then very few again, then more, etc. Whether these scientists have their theories straight, who knows? It is interesting to read about. I believe that some of the more recent theories are partially based on string theory, which as gained some acceptance. It at least has some explanation for the missing matter/mass/dark matter mathematical problems that more accepted, conventional science theories don't cover. I believe that there are 5-9 models for string theories, which is right, still hotly debated. For the longest time, I was confusing string theory with the theories of super-strings. Heh! Good thing I saw that Nova!
Fingerprints at the airport. Next they'll be implanting a micro-chip in everyone. They will be able to track you everywhere you go. Hear what you hear, see what you see, think what you think. And a little electro-stimulator will help guide you into thinking correctly, for the good of the government. Only some people's body will reject them and they will be seen as outcasts/hooligans who want anarchy to rule. Maybe someone will event a drug that causes the chip to malfunction or be rejected, so that we can maintain a subversive drug culture, even after marijuana and other less toxic or addicting drugs are legalized. Perhaps by then most drugs will come with their own morning after relief drugs, so that no drug will be particularly physically harmful. But the unimplant drug, that one will be illegal! Once unimplanted, the rebels will run for the hills where they can plot the downfall of the government. Living like colonials, they will reinvent the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Oh soon, my brothers and sisters, Soon!

I've got a new "1-week hobby". I've had thousands of 1-week hobbies. This one, like the rest, amounts to nothing important. I am transforming hackneyed cliches into clipped accademic pitheries.
Observe. Ahem: 1. "There you go, Sam, now you can dispatch a doublet of warm blooded and feathered ornithopterous Aves with a single concretion of earthy mineral matter."
2. "I had figured I was marooned up the proverbial estuary without a means of locomotion, but triple-A arrived and we were towed to a safer neighborhood. Mine! Haha, yes, yes, ribaldry, I know."
Lately I've been eating like a madman. I eat way more than I should, and my stomach puffs out like a dead fish. I'm trying to cut it out...I've never really done this before...or maybe I have, but my body was different then. Evidence of age? Welly welly welly well. I predict that within 10 years I'll have a a comb-over, a vasectomy and a Harley.
Hard to comb over a fro though.
Awwa, just about a year ago I was thinking about having xenius cups made with random photos on them and sending them out for the holidays. I didn't do it though...only the company's bulk prices were affordable and bulk was well over 100 cups. Maybe when I get the news forum working properly I'll do it.
I just joined threadless.com and now I'm pushing about t-shirt designs. If I become proficient enough maybe I'll slap some xenius stuff on there. People seem to love anything with a good picture, so sometimes they go for anything even though they have no idea what they mean. They're brutal about giving feedback though.

We're on Mars! Apparently a good landing, and the photos are coming in! Somewhere I heard someone say that we're perched to land people on Mars this century. I know they're talking about it, but is that even practical? The last century certainly saw great leaps and bounds of technological development. Barring any great diaster (man-made or not), this next century might well see even greater advancements. But Mars? That'd be quite a leap!
I picked-up a copy of Red Shift 3 at a local Salvation Army for $7. A little clunky, but appears to be quite broad in scope. You can set the day and time and position viewing from of the sky's major features. Search for alignments, eclipses, constellations, planetary positions, comets, etc; are available. Flybys, photos of celestial bodies, histories of, even guided tours of some bodies, etc. I've only just begun to see what it'll do. It's pretty cool.
>Edit: I meant to add that near midday (USA EST? CST? MST? PST? or GMT?) today, January 4th, the Earth reached the perihelion of its orbit around the sun. That is to say the nearest to the sun, part of its orbit. This tidbit brought to you by Red Shift 3. Perhpas that is why Virginia is having a warm 70F something, degrees day. I'm tempt(ur)ed to turn on my A/C.
I haven't checked it out yet, but a friend told me that at the site http://www.sexytrek.com, they have actors in trek outfits performing what to now most trekkies only fantasied about. I believe that it is a pay site, so I'm not sure how much is observable as a non-member. ============== Update... There are some bothersome pop-ups at the SexyTrek site! ============== Alas, the Internet may have been envisioned by, if not invented by Al Gore. But it has been, and proably will continue to be driven by porn! Not that that's a bad thing, Heh!*
[*disclaimer: I, as a consenting adult, do not promote sexual material on the web nor anywhere. But I do find some, less than prudish material interesting, and stand by everyone's right to view it.]
And one last link a friend turned me onto. Apparently you can have most anything printed on most anything, and they'll sell it for you. They get 90%, you get 10%. But 10% is better than 0% if you can't get it printed or shown otherwise. I believe that they may be willing to give better terms for hot items. http://www.zazzle.com. Xenius cup or mouse pad anyone?
Peace All,
