Went kayaking today. Got to see two kids, about 10 and 7, almost drown in the rapids their family was swimming in. I can’t see why people play in that water with no PFDs. And worse, no supervision for their kids. The older boy went to the hospital. I think he was in shock. He…

It’s all about the data. Information is everywhere, but what can you do with it? There is too much to sort through. How to sort the data. What other things are there a lot of that we needed to keep track of? Have we already solved this problem and don’t know it?

Avoid it. Never watch it. I would rather squirt dill pickle juice under my eyelids than watch that movie again. Nothing but an empty, eternal, expanding faster than the speed of light vacant void of er. No thrill. Just er.

The telescope came back and I am very happy. Funny thing is, they were very clear to me that I should only send the scope, nothing else. But they returned it with everything! New backpack, eyepieces, tripod, electronics, everything. So now I have 2 of everything but the scope. I’m sure in some way that…

Like clockwork. So my new telescope is riding the Postal pathways to be repaired. Why the hell do I have to pay to ship it back to them to fix? can’t they just make it right the first time? I find this frustrating. I had to ship a monitor from work for a warranty repair…

Went to see a post-peak oil localization movie show in Boulder Friday night. It was good, but a little alarmist (Jeff’s great word). Just presenting problems, no direction on solutions.

Got a comment on here by a fellow blogger the other day. Thanks! How you found it, I have no idea. I think you increase my readership to 2. 🙂 Park Ranger has to be an interesting job. Not sure how I would handle the extremes of all the beauty and life, and the people…

So Pat Robertson has made another grand statement about Israel and God, saying that Sharon’s stroke is God’s punishment for dividing His land. He feels it is fully within his right to quote the Bible. Seems he is very comfortable speaking for his God, too. What the hell does a religious leader have to say…

I used my new telescope (Xmas gift from the best and sneakiest wife on the planet) last night and it was really cool. I am an excited boy. Was amazed at the number of stars that suddenly popped up when the scope zoomed in. Just need to figure out how to set it up so…

still…

Nevermind.

Adding to this series of posts makes it easier to say that I actually have a blog. When I don’t post, I feel like I am lying about it. It doesn’t really matter that these posts are really useless. It’s just good to put something here. My readers get lonely after a few weeks.
