Once again I find myself pulling my thirty six hours of night shift. A weekend in Zombie Land.   As always, we who must endure sleepless nights followed often by sleepless days, learn to take advantages of any entertainment offered: be it a practical joke, a good lunch packed by a loved one, or a celestrial cornucopia served throughout the summer evenings.    A …

When I was in my early twenties I learned I had an unusual gift: the ability to write cursive with my non-dominant hand in mirror image at the same time as I wrote normally with my right. It wasn’t until middle age did I find out just how few people can do that.   One of the most famous people I discovered who …

The following are the reasons I have not been writing:1) Now that summer is here, I have so much work to do, I haven’t the time.2) When I get home from work I’m too tired to write.3) The beer is too cold and there is too much of it.4) My new laptop is difficult to operate.5) My brain hurts.  It’s easy …

 The subtitle for this blog is sci fi for the working guy. I try to take the most recent news about science and talk about it so the guys at work can relate to it. Let’s face it, few people follow news about super colliders or new discoveries in space. While they are interested in sports, politics or union matters, …

 Lately, my blog’s followings have suffered. I have learned that a blog unattended, is a blog not followed. Should I write just for the sake of writing? My heart says no. Things are moving along in the right direction, so why don’t I want to write? I have two interviews, soon to be posted in Pentalk Communities. http://pentalkcommunity.blogspot.com/  I received an “Invitation only” …

The disasters in Japan involve the whole world, not just one country. Not only do we send rescue teams, money and supplies, but we also send scientist who study the impact of the disaster.Preventing loss of life is the final goal. Learning how the Earth and its atmosphere works is the only way to limit the causalities. Sadly, the best …

The price of found meteorites just went up. Check out this link: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20110306/sc_nm/us_meteorites_life Now every cosmic find will be studied within a micro-inch of its life. Will our search for life on other planets stall while we turn our tunnel vision on meteorites?
