Where do I start. I feel like I have a storage bins full of comments on what was thought to be settled science.
For over 1000 years people thought and assumed that the sun and planets and everything else revolved around the earth. I mean of the ancient guys said how could it be false.
OF course we all know that the earth revolves around the sun.
Like a really good montecristo cigars science is upheld as the perfection. We hear a term that is going around these days about ‘settled science’. I would submit to you that this phrase is not a scientific term but a political one.
When you want to end an argument a person would use the sentence: Global Warming is settled science. This is not meant as a true statement of fact but as a method to shut people up.
As I have understood the mayan calendar it does end in 2012. Or more accuratly resets back to year one. So do I think the end of the world will happen this year.
Uhm. no.
There are three parts of the calendar sort of like month day year. The problem is I am not sure Mayans understood infinity. The Romans did not and had a limited counting system. So the base 20 system (fingers and toes) was employed in the Mayan calendar. The problem is that the calendar expires. So people are getting all up in arms. I do expect a lot of problems towards the end of the year.
Well in the wars of Samsung and Apple over the iPad and the iPad knock off the new battlefield is on the TV. I have to confess my favorite part is the end when the Android wanna be iPad gets put up with the books. Which sort of explains how useless the device is.
The translation I have been told is “You try to have fun with me, you try to win against me, you ask me millions of questions, you sit on my lap, you want to stay beside me all the time, strangely, when I stay with you time passes very quickly. This is a precious time.”
Two things: Guess what I got for hannukah! sharis berries deals they are freakin awesome. HUGE strawberries dipped in the best chocolate.
So I heard on from someone who listens to Rush Limbaugh about this program called Vocal. I looked and read what Rush said about this app for iPod/iPhone/iPad and verbal interface for typing is something I like. He went on for about 10 minutes about this app. Must have been 20 Million of free advertising. The kind of stuff you cannot buy at all.
Epic Fail.
The app only works on an iPhone 4S for verbal commands. What should be a 5 star rated app is now at 3 stars.
Well good news. I am thankful for wikileaks. I am glad that people can go in and look at the government.
I think that bloggers should be reporters and given the same protections as print reporters. As the print media has given up on any pretense of trying to report. After all we need WeGotPumps.com gusher pump to make the work happening.
“It took a team of ten reporters working two months to sift through 250,000 confidential American diplomatic cables at the NY Times, but when a story idea recently came up that I wanted to research in more detail, I found Wikileaks to be a very useful and accessible tool for further investigation. First, some background: For the past ten years I have written stories about Peace Corps safety and medical issues, the Peace Corps’ budget appropriations, and the work done by volunteers in their countries of service on a web site I publish called ‘Peace Corps Online.’ When the Peace Corps announced last month they were taking the unusual step of suspending their program in Kazakhstan and withdrawing all 117 volunteers, I decided to dig deeper and find out what was behind the decision to leave the country. First I went to blogs of volunteers serving in Kazakhstan and found that four rapes or sexual assaults of volunteers had occurred in the past year and that it had became increasingly difficult for volunteers to conduct their work. But the biggest revelation was when I found fourteen U.S. diplomatic cables on Wikileaks that cited elements in the Kazakhstani ‘pro-Russian old-guard at the Committee for National Security (the KNB, successor to the KGB) aimed at discrediting the Peace Corps and damaging bilateral relations’ with the U.S. Further investigation on Wikileaks revealed how one Peace Corps volunteer had been sentenced to two years imprisonment in 2009 after ‘what appeared to be a classic Soviet-style set-up.’ The volunteer was only freed through the diplomatic efforts of U.S. Ambassador Richard Hoagland and the personal intervention of Kazakhstani President Nursultan Nazarbayev.”
Wow here is something that I found to be really intresting.
“The National Football League has been brainstorming with tech and communications companies on how to bring the NFL into the 21st century. Major-league sports are famously technophobic — the NFL outlaws computers and PDAs on the sidelines, in the locker room and in press-box coaching booths within 90 minutes of kickoff. But that may be about to change, which the WSJ’s Matthew Futterman speculates could mean: ‘Coaches selecting plays from tablet computers. Quarterbacks and defensive captains wired to every player on the field and calling plays without a huddle. Digital video on the sidelines so coaches can review plays instantly. Officials carrying hand-held screens for replays. Computer chips embedded in the ball and in the shoulder pads (or mouth guards) that track every move players make and measure their speed, the impact of their hits, even their rate of fatigue.’ Part of the impetus for the changes is the chance for a windfall — the NFL’s sponsorship deals with Motorola and IBM will expire after this season, and the NFL will be seeking more technology (and presumably cash) from its next technology partner(s).”
I have wondered for a long time why the NFL does not use some of these things. I mean they still be using vintage tub in the locker room. In particular the headphones for all players for plays. This would have speeded up the game a long time ago and is way over due.
Well this year the poitical drama was been really fun to watch. What I have noticed is that the people are not going door to door in Iowa. It is all debates.
I would love to see pictures of Romney with his michael kors watch flipping pancakes at some event in Iowa. While those are always funny the problem really comes down to this year seems to be more about ideas.
Okay here we go . . . this is really sad to see all these cars wiped out. THe estimate is $4 million dollars. The UK Telegraph has a video of the crash. The cars are all wiped out. I mean these cars are not bought out on Retail System there, they have to be seriously importated. With a used car over 100K.
