The cast is died!

January 26, 2011

I have connected up the folk who will transport Red Shift with the Chevy dealer out west who will receive her.

I just bought my train ticket for the trip out west.

The thick plottens!

I’m shipping my car out west so I don’t have to drive both ways. Training out, will pick it up in the east Bay area, then start a 10 or 11 week road trip.

See you at Westercon & Worldcon?

Me & Red Shift will be hitting the bitumen for some… fun roads.

When is a theory is more than a theory?

January 26, 2011

In the Physics of  Superheroes by James Kakalios,he points out a scientific theory has undergone rigor testing & challenges. “To dismiss any idea that survives this exhaustive vetting as ‘just a theory’ is equivalent to describing the Hope Diamond as ‘just a crystal.’ “

War? What war?

January 7, 2011

I keep hearing about a war that is supposed to be going on.  Isn’t there supposed to be some sort of sacrifice by the civilian component of the population if there is a war on?

To date I have neither seen nor heard of any calls for sacrifices by the civilian population.

Since there has been no sacrifices imposed upon the civilian population, I guess, there is no real war going on.
