2007-08-20 21:19 Put Out More Flags
Jeremy Rifkin comments on the news last week that Russian explorers planted a flag not on, but under the North Pole (that is, on the seafloor), in what was seen as an old-fashioned bid to lay claim to the Arctic's potentially vast oil and gas reserves. A global tragedy of monumental proportions is unfolding at the top of the world, and the human race is all but oblivious to what's happening. When U.S. astronauts stepped onto the moon in 1969, Neil Armstrong's first words were, "One small step fo …

2007-07-20 20:11 Laser-wielding robots survey the Arctic
Two NASA robots have been surveying a crater in the Canadian Arctic, testing out technology that could help the space agency evaluate sites for human bases on the Moon or Mars. The robots, called K10 Black and K10 Red, are equipped with laser scanners that can map terrain up to 1 kilometre from the robots themselves. They also carry ground-penetrating radar that can scan 5 metres below the surface. The two robots navigate using the Global Positioning System, stereo cameras, the laser scanners, a …

A lot of this is incomplete because I ve either a. Not ripped everything I own or b. Don t own an album in its entirety and didn t go through and post all the lonely half-albums and parts of albums I have. Oh well, this will help me keep track anyhow. Sorry if some …

2007-07-11 05:37 Republican Report Card for 08 Senate Elections
34 seats are opening up in the US Senate next year, and I felt it might be a good opportunity for everyone to take a good long look at some of the incumbents that will be running for re-election next year. Below, I have assembled a brief report of all Republican Senators that will be defending their seats next fall. Due to the vast number of references to quotes and comments, each Senator's name is linked to their Wikipedia profile. All references as well as links to their official websites can …
