Aaron Adams’s Lame-ass Blog

When the scientifically illiterate drive-by media writes a blurb like this, can we really trust them to accurately portray scientific topics that are of importance to day-to-day life?

I have my doubts that Americans will ever walk on the moon again, or any planet besides Earth. Scientifically and technologically illiterate politicians and taxpayers will take the axe to any such program at the first sign of fiscal trouble. I don’t want to be a pessimist, but I think history has provided some clear examples that, as a country, we don’t participate in many long-term projects that lack an immediate benefit. Additionally, our extreme aversion to risk of any kind will make such an undertaking expensive and complicated to the point of being near impossible to accomplish. As much as I personally would love to be witness to a more active manned space program in my lifetime, I have serious doubts.

I despise holidays, but I like sharing this particular history lesson every year.

The Real Story of Thanksgiving

Read this.

Then read this.

Nowhere near conclusive, but interesting.

With all of Steve Ballmer’s talk about “squirting” things from one Zune to another, and Microsoft’s weird use of “the social” in it’s Zune software, the whole thing sounds fairly reminiscent of venereal disease.

“Steve Ballmer squirted me with his Zune and now I have the social.”

Gross.
