Oh, I should mention; not that I expect this to perk it up but one has to give it a try. As you are a champion at the attempt, I think you understand.

Well, I doubt anyone else will get too excited about this but, gravity and light are amazingly similar. Both dilate time (actually gravity and approaching the speed of light) and both move at about the same speed. Did you know that time moves slow…

My take on global warming is pretty scary. The people on this planet that never want to get caught out saying something overblown are scientists. Politicans, corporate employees just consider in part of the job. Their word means nothing. But, a …

A pretty sobering article, if not chilling, on the same subject. What it’s like when your job is to predict the end of humanity

Personally, I'm more interested in a all-encompassing solution, like how to rid mankind of unreason.

How one knows that it's done poorly, if it's "new" and thus without precendents? It sucks.

Just remember that climate is just like weather. Summer doesn't go directly from cold to hot. They have a saying in Japan that goes something like "three days cool, two days warm, then three days warm and two days cool". Not a dire…

Wow! Nice, PG. Can I ask where you found that? That's a real thinker and I don't have higher praise than that. I dsagree with some of it but, mostly, it's dead on.

To me, Joey, "good in concept but very poor in execution" sounds like an early attempt at something new, which often is done poorly. One of the drawbacks of being a visionary. That doesn't mean the idea is bad, it's just mean s…

I still don't understand the thought that you don't own a download. If you download the mp3 and you know enough to back it every which way but loose, it is yours ad infinitum. And, that cannot be said to be true of CDs or albums if you p…

Intersting point. Will the physical products (i.e. CD and album) continue to exist just for people that like "stuff"? I don't understand the comment by Appy, thought, that you never own a download. You never own a streaming medium …

Somebody, sooner or later, has to realize that the "package" mindset of music is going to go the way of the dinosaur. There is little need for filling a CD or album any longer. And, it will become more true as time goes on with the emerg…

Hasn't worked for the Catholic church all that well, either. I really wonder about Tibetan Monks. Do they are don't they?
