1 million seconds was eleven days ago. One billion was in 1987. One trillion was 31,700 years ago.
Quote of the Day
Socialism is a scare word they've hurled at every advance the people have made. Socialism is what they called public power, social security, deposit insurance, and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for anything that helps all people." ~ Harry Truman, 1952

The share tab on any porn video has to be the most useless and unnecessary feature on the Internet.

"You are not alone" can either be really comforting or really threatening depending on where you are when you hear it and who says it to you.

Omens and Portents?
I woke this morning from a disturbing dream. I was at work in a meeting when we heard emergency sirens. While my colleagues remained in the conference room I went to the window (I work on the 19th floor) to see a ginormous tornado moving through downtown. It was almost the width of a city block, and was black as coal. The twister was close enough that it should've impacted the building I was in, yet all it did was throw debris at it, none of which seemed to do any damage.
Then I looked off to the west and saw it approaching: a tsunami wave, a wall of water fifteen stories high, heading directly toward us. The scene was straight out of 2012 or Deep Impact. My last thought before the wave hit the building and I awoke was, "So…this is how it ends."
This is not surprising considering where my head has been at lately.
A wall of water that high approaching Phoenix could mean only one thing: a civilization-ending asteroid strike in the Pacific.

Just Because

The car cigarette lighter transitioning to the car mobile phone/electronic device charging port is one of the greatest repurposing success stories in world history. It's also indicative of how society has traded one addiction for another.

…this is how I got to Amadeus, because of a conversation I was having with some friends (one of whom could've been a dead ringer for Mr. 74 below when he was younger) about this piece of music being used in the latest Apple commercial. Go figger.
Don't Ask
Don't ask how I stumbled upon this, but it's one of my favorite scenes from Amadeus. I'm sure I'll show you how I got here on the next post.

Sharp Rise in Arctic Temperatures Now Inevitable
As I commented on another site:
"And on your right we're approaching a planet formerly known by its now extinct dominant species as Earth. Humans, as they called themselves, once showed great potential to become a part of the galactic community, but since the advent of their species' industrialization, they continually worked against their own self-interest by pouring massive amounts of pollution into the planetary biosphere, poisoning themselves and tripping a runaway environmental disaster. The species finally self-destructed completely and took out what was remaining of the planet's biosphere with the advent of a brief, yet devastating nuclear conflagration over the planet's dwindling resources and various factions' god-myths."
Especially Opposable Thumbs!
They're the worst.
