about me
By possessing a near-photographic memory (the short term though is complete shit), I’ve been intriguing and alienating people for all my years. With it I have acquired over the years quite a twisted/dark sense of humor; so be wary.
Otherwise, I like to see things work; thus, I ponder constantly current and future affairs. I believe that I acquired this trait by being raised around the less then savory members of the Baby-Boom-Generation; I tend to dislike those irresponsible, hypocritical, self-righteous, spoiled-rotten-brats. There are exceptions to that rule but they are frighteningly rare indeed. I have no real “home” politically -- I tend to think that I would be what is called a "Conservative Democrat" in political outlook, and thus despise the current Presidential / Congressional administrations were dominated by short sighted ideologists and thus, are nigh-infinite-fools. The highest example of this is sending the United States, into a war that was not needed; and this at a time that that we must deal with the massive Federal & State deficits that threatens our and our children’s generation. I’m conservative in that I want the government out of my hair and only doing that for society that the individual cannot do (or in some rare cases should) for themselves. That being stated it would be hypocritical for both me and many other to say that the disenfranchised should not be helped -- I just want it done rationally and without emotional bias that has tainted such noble efforts. Not that the left is much better, it is just dominated by those who would liberate society, by making anything they don’t approve of in their child-like hypersensitivity with legal sanction means that we would all be walking on egg-shells till the end of our days. Be they Corporate-Conservatives, or Limo-Liberals; you cannot trust either one, as far as I’m concerned. If you’re not in the class in society -- your miss-fates are not relevant to them.

"We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Sahara. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively outnumbers the set of actual people. In the te...

Editor's note: Ron Powers is the author of "Mark Twain: A Life" (Free Press, 2005). (CNN) -- The vapid, smiley-faced effrontery of it corrodes the foundations of respect for American literature. And the effrontery is the least of it.

PASADENA, Calif. – The 33-year odyssey of NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft has reached a distant point at the edge of our solar system where there is no outward motion of solar wind. Now hurtling toward interstellar space some 17.4 billion kilometers (10.8 billion miles) from the sun, Voyager 1 has crossed into an area where the velocity of the hot ionized gas, or plasma, emanating directly outward from the sun has slowed to zero... read more

My late uncle has this walkway named after near about 10 years ago in Central Square, Cambridge. The walkway artwork has always been mercurially changing ever since then. Here is an image of a friend of one of his sons gracing it with his latest endeavor.

A central figure in the "green revolution", Norman Ernest Borlaug (March 25, 1914 – September 12, 2009) was born on a farm near Cresco, Iowa, to Henry and Clara Borlaug. For the past twenty-seven years he has collaborated with Mexican scientists on problems of wheat improvement; for the last ten or so of those years he has also collaborated with scientists from other parts of the world, especially from India and Pakistan, in adapting the new wheats to new lands and in gaining acceptance for t...

My Grandfather passed away this morning -- it was about 4 years ago he succumbed to dementia. A tragic way to go - but - he was not with himself, let alone his family for that time. I loved him more then just about anything else in this world. I owe him my life several times over -- there were those inevitable flaws and graces in those efforts; but unlike many -- he'd make the effort. Reflecting upon my memories of him; it was survival was his highest priority in his life.
