The Movie, ‘AVATAR’
Hollywood is doing it’s part. And it is a damned good “Fifth Columnist” effort. It is so good, it convinces me and affirms my drift against militaristic corporate Fascism rampant in American thinking, politics, arrogance, ethnocentristic narcissism, and corporate Fascist greed and overall international humanistic, limited thinking. If those Fascists on the other side want to [...]

Fed Up on the Technology Front
I am really fed up with technology, in particular software. It is quite obvious they don’t test the shit, it is that marketing mentality driving the business that says get it in the box on the self and fix it in .01. For instance, I had been quite satisfied with the performance of the CA [...]

What if Adam invents Eve…?
Found this item in a story from DailyTech this morning: “Researchers have successfully developed a new robot that is able to reason, formulate theories, and work on new scientific breakthroughs without the need of real scientists.” The portends conjured up dire visions from that repressed part of my psyche that has fenced in a powerful [...]
