She says something to the effect of all the works of man are to make a painful hostile universe less painful. While that is a driving force behind technological advancement, there is another force wh...

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
This is a great show, for reasons I find hard to articulate. I suppose it is just the humor and good characterization.

Google+
There is this new Google project called Google+ which has been described as "like facebook, plus it's not facebook!" I'm somewhat interested in it. As far as I know, Google has a pretty good track record for not abusing the massive amounts of personal information it already has in its poss...

Re: Earthquake in Japan
Yes, presenting nuclear power as magical would be misleading spin. Presenting it as a boiling teakettle is also spin, and just about as misleading. Fusion power, the holy grail of energy production, would also be a teakettle.
