I need help! I’ve spent the morning reading news, blogs and email and posting information within my own blog. Time to work!
(but I had a really good time!)

Ramblings, often stream of conscious, journaling the events of my life.

“The Singularity” is a phrase borrowed from the astrophysics of black holes. The phrase has varied meanings; as used by Vernor Vinge and Raymond Kurzweil, it refers to the idea that accelerating technology will lead to superhuman machine intelligence that will soon exceed human intelligence, probably by the year 2030.
Looks like Kurzweil’s future could be coming to life. This would be a good time to read Diaspora by Greg Egan

Hydrogen Powered Cars in 2004
United Nuclear is currently in final testing, and will shortly be producing Hydrogen conversion systems / Hydrogen generators for most fuel injected, Gasoline powered vehicles.
Juggler’s mind: Hydrogen? Hydrogen? Let me think… Wasn’t there something in our history that might concern cars?

Millions of Condoms Seek Optimistic, Busy Owner This of course for the man that can’t get enough.
The condom factory was built as a joint venture as part of a complex arms purchase deal which saw South Africa award Germany a $594 million contract to build submarines.

What chu saying Willis?
I received this expedia ad in a popup today:
Now, without slipping too much further into poor taste, read the words closely then stare at the picture and ask yourself “just where is she getting away to? why does she have to ‘come to expedia’? what’s the smirk about? why did they crop her right hand out of the picture? And can’t she do this from home?”
In all fairness to Expedia, clicking on the ad will take you to their marketing page.
Sex – What should the kids do?
Here’s an interesting and disturbing article. It’s difficult being a dad with a girl that will be entering her teens and already thinks she is 16. I know around 10 years old I knew certain things felt good. I know around 12 I wanted things to feel good with girls. I know guys are supposed to and girls aren’t so just who are the guys supposed to with? Below are some highlights that will give parents thinking material..not that we don’t have enough already.
I believe sex is a good thing but when thinking about your daughter being used, hurt or taken advantage of, you start to question your own views. I would certainly not want to deny anyone such a pleasurable activity and do not want to give it mysticism by making it taboo. I hope that I can instill a sense of dignity and self-worth in my children that they do not use sex as an escape and wait until they truly feel love before giving up their bodies.

I love sex. I love talking about it, thinking about it, arguing about it, doing it and sometimes even watching it. But because I don’t have a penis, I’m supposed to keep these thoughts to myself. Guys overly concerned with sex are “players” while girls are called sluts…
I entered high school as a wholesome princess. I was class vice president…
…when I was 16, I lost my virginity…
…I wasn’t supposed to have sex! Well, it just kind of happened. … And so began my journey toward becoming a “slut.”
I managed to do a 180 on my good-girl status. As the slogan goes, “Once you pop, you can’t stop.” …
…trying to use sex to find love. … I never did.
…Who knew that it is entirely different when you are actually in love with the person?…
I am self-assured in my sexuality. I have sex, and I like it. I don’t think porn is always bad, I know the meaning behind Britney’s song “Touch of My Hand,” and I’ve been to the “sex shop.” I carry a condom in my wallet and have more beside my bed. I’m not ashamed to admit that I have a sex drive. …

Climate Change Linked to Civilization Collapse What goes first? Society or the planet?
Two scientists have linked climate variations to the collapse of societies around the globe. Sometimes slight, sometimes intense, … the changes were enough to forever alter the lifestyles of the people living under changed conditions. …
An article in a 1995 issue of Nature pointed to drought as one cause of the demise of the Maya civilization. Its writers argued that internal factors, including population growth and environmental degradation, worked with climate change and led to the Maya collapse. …
The worst case scenerio … is if the world does not make any changes in its activities—inaction that would cause an 11-degree temperature change. “That would have some pretty horrific implications,” he said. …

I work very hard to — no that’s not true — I want to provide my family a good life with good health but when I try to give my wife good health she fights it. She won’t go to doctors and she won’t go to the dentist. It’s comparable to trying to get a child to eat beats.
We cancelled her appointment. It will now be 6 months or more before she can get in again.

I was reviewing my drafts in my blog and discovered this about my impatience with Tommy (the 13 yr old). I am not sure why I didn’t publish it. In hindsight, it seems insightful for the moment it was written.

The baby is awake. I really had hoped to get more done before she arose.
I must retrain myself to start waking earlier again.

A New Day!
Let’s start the day off with a PayPal donation link:
This Morning
Noah (the 7 yr old) comes down at 6am as I’m getting up to get dressed. He is a great morning person! Stirred Sarah (10 yr old) at 6:12 or so and gave Tommy his medicine at 6:25. Now time to try to stir him. I also need to get Noah some Clariton and Sarah some cold sore medicine.
Last Night
Wife and I were much more relaxed and happy together. Chatted much and spent the evening together watching The Guru. That film is a riot! Having the wife explain who is who and what movies they’ve been in adds quite a bit to the enjoyment of the movie. The movie is basically about a guy that comes India to America and falls in love with a porn star. The choreography is quite well done. One of the guys in the voice is a voice on The Simpsons and has a role in Office Spaces.

Walked the yard today and observed the sinkhole in the creek. Still not sure what to make of it. After a long dry spell I will play with it. Met the neighbor that recently put up a fence. I hate fences! And his was a spite fence serving no purpose but to draw a line between his property and my next door neighbor’s.
Sarah (the 10 yr old) is interacting nicely with Amy (the baby) while Sarah brushes out her own hair. Noah (7 yr old) is spacing out in a book; he was so lost in the book that Amy stuck a toothbrush in his ear and he didn’t know. Tommy (the 13 yr old) is lounging in the bath (on his stomach rocking back and forth–interpret how you want). Amy just laid her head down on the couch then quickly realized what she was doing and switched to sweeping the floor. Sarah just remembered some unfinished work. Amy went through all her see-n-say animals and noises with me at high speed. She is so smart! All the kids are!
Cathy is at a meeting but we have relative calm around here. She is still missed.
