I have not done one of my short lists of observations in a while and I was thinking about it yesterday – what could I do as a theme for something around the middle of April. And then it occurred to me that it is that most dreaded day of tax deadlines. It is also, [...]
Interesting conversation heard this past Friday on NPR while driving to Kansas city with an author on the subject matter. Granted there are several mathematical theories that suggest and point to the idea of instead a single universe, instead multiple universes. It is certainly an interesting subject matter to consider, given the different theories of how they exist and even how they would have come into being given the different theories. What I find most interesting though is the concept that given an infinite number of space (and perhaps one could argue the same for time) for things to occur within and the apparent finite building blocks of matter, at some point it is very likely that some other universe would approach very closely and perhaps even be an exact replica of this one in which we are currently living and breathing, even having this thought. In those close but not exact other universes instead of sitting here in a coffee shop writing this I could be out on a lake fishing and in other similar one I could be in armor getting ready to head down the lane for a jousting pass.
A few observations for my birth month are in order I thought. In fact, if I get this done before something else catches my attention, this post will actually appear in the morning on my actual birthday. Most of these are actually technological in nature so apologies to those that do not care so much for the technological aspect of things I tend to post. On the other hand, not all of them are so you should still browse through the list of observations just in case you come across that odd something that you do find interesting that you had not heard about up until this point. And without further ado, let me get started with the observations for February…
I have to say it – what is up with the freaking snow? Okay, I know everyone else here in Kentucky was at this point about four weeks ago to be sure. I mean after all, the first snow at my house was back before Thanksgiving and we had two that were indeed measurable before the weather forecasters in the Lexington area ever forecast or acknowledged a measurable snow. And yes, I was the one that complained and felt cheated by the snowpocolypse passing us by last week leaving us relatively untouched. On the other hand, I did note I wanted one big snow and let it be the end of things at that point – that I was getting a little tired of the constant one to four-inch snows that are just enough disrupt everything, but yet not enough to really cause anything I am involved with (outside of the fun stuff) to be canceled.
