Fascinating with a Hint of Depression*

Interesting ideas are presented here. I feel like they might be a bit hyper optimistic in sort of the 'Flying Car of the Future' way. Nonetheless interesting.

* The depressing part is when he discusses the the Type I culture - Madonna, Arnold, blue jeans... please!?! Is that what we have to offer the Universe?

My HERO

This guy put his own HD camera in SPACE! Well, or at least at the edge of it. Exploration at it's truest.

Congratulations!

Usually I'm not much a big fan of hoaxers - however - in this case I am. The video above was made by two young brothers. For a hoax I'd say it's pretty good. And it's good to see kids exercising their creative skills. I don't know, I like that the UFOlogy world can get so easily swindled. It reveals how ridiculous this little intellectual neighborhood is. So brothers, thank you for throwing egg on the face of a subculture that's asking for it.

For Your Consideration / Speculation

So, I was browsing the internet for my much needed fix of weirdness and I came across this little gem of a photo over at earthfiles.com. I think this is a very intriguing situation that has been presented. There are two new crop formations in the image, but also, there is a ghost formation that still lingers from the year previous. If all formations are being produced through mechanical means ( board and rope ) then what is the mechanism in that process that alters the soil in such a way that it still modifies the growth of the crops a year later? Where's an easy answer from Occam's razor when you need it? There doesn't seem to be any simple conclusion here.

First Entry! Great!

So, selecting a URL is such a challenge these days. What are we internetters going to do out in the future when all the clever names have been snatched up? Try not to give too much attention to the URL I selected... I'm feeling a bit self conscience now.
