Space (and planets, and stars, and black holes, and galaxies, and everything imaginable…) is SO cool. Long live the dreams of Roddenberry and Asimov, Lucas and Heinlein.

That’s because I’m a horrible interneteer, but I’m bored tonight! So, voila, Filling up my space with…Space. How are you, Mrs. Person? :D

I am doing quite well, Mr. Grrrmoo :P Chillaxing, as it were, in the last full week of my summer. ~~Dear God that’s terrifying.~~

I, too, am having a Chillax attack. It’s my Friday! I’m sorry there are terrors! I really wish I was going back to school…

My interest in Physics and Astronomy and Awesomeness can be represented by the equation: E=Sq(N)^2, where E is excitement and is equal to Sq (the Squee constant, aka the constant Squee) and proportional to the square of the Certainty of Abundant Nerds principle.

Starting March 1st, A Red License Plate in Nevada Means the Driver is a Robot!

Starting March 1st, A Red License Plate in Nevada Means the Driver is a Robot!:

An extended campaign in Nevada by Google has led to a new host of provisions which will allow automated cars to legally drive in the state. Starting March 1st, 2012 innovators like Google can officially apply for a new kind of robot driver’s license that will give them permission to openly test their cars on the road. Automated vehicles will be able to travel the same streets and highways as human drivers, with only a red license plate marking them as robots. Once research on those automated cars is complete (which may take years), the Nevada Department of Motorized Vehicles will issue them a neon green license plate – an indication that the robot drivers are good to go. Google, whose robotic Prius cars have already driven 200,000+ miles in California quasi-legally, will undoubtedly take full advantage of Nevada’s openness and further develop their technology for general use. Just as important, other states like Hawaii, Florida, and Oklahoma may follow Nevada’s example, paving the way for robot cars to operate all across the United States.

I’m not sure if I approve or not, but this is both amazingly awesome and terrifying at the same time!!

“There is one bit of advice given to us by the ancient heathen Greeks, and by the Jews in the Old Testament, and by the great Christian teachers of the Middle Ages, which the modern economic system has completely disobeyed. All these people told us not to lend money at interest: and lending money at interest — what we call investment — is the basis of our whole system. Now it may not absolutely follow that we are wrong. Some people say that when Moses and Aristotle and the Christians agreed in forbidding interest (or “usury” as they called it), they could not foresee the joint stock company, and were only dunking of the private moneylender, and that, therefore, we need not bother about what they said. That is a question I cannot decide on. I am not an economist and I simply do not know whether the investment system is responsible for the state we are in or not. This is where we want the Christian economist. But I should not have been honest if I had not told you that three great civilizations had agreed (or so it seems at first sight) in condemning the very thing on which we have based our whole life.”

“To be able to enjoy fully the many good things the world has to offer, we must be detached from them. To be detached does not mean to be indifferent or uninterested. It means to be nonpossessive. Life is a gift to be grateful for and not a property to cling to. A nonpossessive life is a free life. But such freedom is only possible when we have a deep sense of belonging. To whom then do we belong? We belong to God, and the God to whom we belong has sent us into the world to proclaim in his Name that all of creation is created in and by love and calls us to gratitude and joy. That is what the “detached” life is all about. It is a life in which we are free to offer praise and thanksgiving.”

Tue, 21 Feb 2012 12:28:44 -0700

“If society is a contract, it is not a contract between the living only, but a contract that includes the dead, the living and the unborn–in short, not a contract at all, but a relation of trusteeship, in which the living have charge of the assets inherited from the dead which they in turn must pass on to those unborn. Simply to waste in the lifetime of a nation’s temporary tenants, the capital accumulated over centuries, is to breach the trust on which future generations depend.”

“The “new woman” was not an invention of second-wave feminism either. Betty did not start the “woman movement”; Christians did. Motivated by the belief that men and women were made in God’s image to “rule the earth” together, these pro-woman, pro-justice believers sought to right wrongs for those who had less social power.”

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

And for the record, I’m not happy. Not content.

Things are either broken or misshapen, and I don’t see any way out.

All I see is myself, quickly downspiraling, while those around me refuse to help.

I hate these emo-posts and related BS but I’m so angry I could spit.

“Our ties with Mexico will be much more firmly established in 2012 because sometime within the next 50 years the Mexican border will become as the Canadian border, a free one, with the formalities and red tape of ingress and egress cut to a minimum so that the residents of both countries can travel back and forth across the line as if it were not there.”

That moment when you finish a book, look around, and realize that everyone is just carrying on with their lives as though you didn’t just experience emotional trauma at the hands of a paperback.

Always relevant.

I am forever amazed at how many lives and years it’s possible to experience in just a few hours.
