Technology's' Myth: The Rumor Relay

There are two opposing opinions about the advancement of technology in the 21 st century- either you fear the machine as evil or you are genuinely excited about the future of the human race. Like it or not, technology and time are accepted momentum's we also call this “progress”. The Industrial Age has been replaced by what has been coined as the Innovation Age. And now that I have mentioned coinage, it would be neglectful not to acknowledge the alchemical concept (money) as ‘here to stay’also (and an influencer for either side of this argument).  Most simplified, these two sides of the spectrum could also be summarized as; some feel we are either destroying the world and messing with someone’s Divine perfect creation, or we are getting closer to understanding the riddle(s) of humanity, we are evolving or devolving. Who knows? I guess that theorem will prove itself. Time will tell. Image By United States Geological Survey [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons. One...

People will tell

I am no expert in psychology, in fact, I am just getting to know my own psyche, so I guess you could say I’m in the element-ology phase, just stretching out my brain muscle, still picking up the pieces and seeing how things fit together. Sure there's some loose bolts rolling around, but I'm sure they go to something. That’s not to say I’m crazy, given the fact that there does seem to be a lot of fragmentary pieces floating around my mind at all times (words and phrases) I’ve accepted that it is because I am a writer (private poet), ergo, I guess I am crazy. Who else besides writers talk to themselves all day and not ever concern themselves with the connection between money and survival?  “A person is a fool to become a writer. His only compensation is absolute freedom." -Roald Dahl Since I have begun with m...

Going All Green Algae

This is some good news people. First, a light-hearted joke based on my findings. What does a professional racecar driver and a professional surfer have in common? Besides the obvious being these are both solo sports with perks like sponsorship pay and groupies, both also bravely seek the thrill of the ride for a swell time (not punny?), neither mind hot environmental conditions, both get paid to play for a living, and both can pee their pants (or wet-suit) whenever they want to.  Image By Dénes EmÅ‘ke (Isle of Wight, England) [CC0], via Wikimedia Commons. It’s absurd to think the answer to the world's clean energy crisis and secret sauce for “going green” can be found in green algae- sometimes we humans make matters far more complicated than they need to be-take fracking for example.  It has been known by top ranking government offices and somewhat in the general public that bio-fuels have been successfully produced and are nearing ...
