Water On The Moon

From what I hear, you can never have too much water. While we may be facing more than we need soon if global warming (natural or otherwise) comes about, the Moon and its future inhabitants are a bit short at the moment.

Of course once you get a decent base set up, you can ferry craft off the moon’s surface much easier than from Earth. Go grab an asteroid or two composed mostly of ice and melt it up there. Mmm good.

Holy Crap, Batman!

Vampire stars, no less. And here I was blaming it all on the prospect of gay marriage.

I’m going to have to stop getting my science news from religious fundamentalists.

Fun For Me

Yes! After perusing the New York Yankees Spring Training Schedule for 2008, I’ve found a chance too see them hit it with the Astros up in Houston on March 3. Sweet mama! I’m not exactly your quintessential New Yorker, but I’m not exactly a Texan either and who’s going to pass on a chance to see the real “America’s Team.” (Sorry Cowboys’ fans, but it ain’t them.)

Having faced the likely fact that I’ll never see a real game (who wants that pressure?), training is the place for me to be. Yankees Spring Training tickets are available, the mood in training rocks and I can walk out, zone out, take a nap – whatever – without feeling like I missed anything crucial. Perfect for my new no-stress lifestyle.

Better Not Be the Robot

Nerds program a robot to dance … now that is news. How did they know where to begin? Pray god not their old “Thriller” videos. This is like a train wreck. You have to see it no matter how horrifying it is.

I say anything we can make more human-like, the better. And if they follow Asimov’s Three Laws at least we’ll have some decent human-like behavior in the world again. It’s been far too robotic or at the other extreme, animalistic, for some time now.
