this and that

As I said before, I have always shared an eclectic mix of information, whimsy, opinions, and news in every online community where I have been a member. On this day in 2012, instead of posting things to Facebook [this was pre-Twitter], I decided to post the links I usually share here. The picture is gone – CeoExpress only lets me link to a picture rather than permitting me to upload it so I have no control over that little piece of content – but I thought I would repeat the experiment today. Here a random sampling of the things that got my attention and sparked my interest:

Russia figures the defrosting Arctic may be worth something, and rather belligerently decides to lay claim to it: http://www.ocregister.com/articles/russian-676408-putin-watch.html. Tell me that you are surprised by this maneuver.

Can’t you just see archeologists of the future checking out some of our street graffiti? http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-33790405

I remember the shock and horror of this accident – it was a brutal reminder that even getting ready to go into space was dangerous http://zap2it.com/2015/08/astronaut-wives-club-nasa-gus-grissom-fire/

Inevitably, fans compare Disneyland and WDW http://www.orlandosentinel.com/travel/attractions/the-daily-disney/os-disney-world-vs-disneyland-by-numbers-story.html#page=1 There are rabid fans out there [not that I would know anything about that, neh?] who read about WDW and this may prove helpful http://www.imaginerding.com/2015/08/07/disney-world-books-history/ And while planning to go to WDW, don’t forget apps and charging for your smart phone http://www.passporter.com/articles/smart-phones-at-disney.html

With all the interest in VR, Second Life has been getting a lot of publicity. Some of it is condescending and out of touch https://reason.com/blog/2015/08/06/second-life-creators-have-not-stopped-be This blog post gives a sense of what living a 2^nd life is like http://slnewserpeople.blogspot.com/

North Korea has its own calendar, and has now established its own time zone http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/08/world/asia/north-korea-time-zone.html

IS Trump a viable candidate? Don’t forget, we dismissed Ronald Reagan too [and look how much damage he did for eight years] http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/08/world/asia/north-korea-time-zone.html

And then there is Sherlock http://spinoff.comicbookresources.com/2015/08/06/sdcc-sherlocks-moffat-teases-season-4-fights-urge-to-stay-in-victorian-era/

IMNSHO, FWIIW: The US used the atomic bomb twice for reasons that seemed good at the time and shamefully it was done without true comprehension of the destruction being unleashed. It was not terrorism http://www.slate.com/blogs/quora/2015/06/10/hiroshima_and_nagasaki_could_those_bombings_be_considered_terrorism.html?wpsrc=fol_fband it was not a callous disregard of the consequences. http://qz.com/472146/its-clear-the-us-should-not-have-bombed-hiroshima-and-nagasaki/ It did end the war and proved forever that the use of nuclear weapons should be banned forever

Time outs can be effective for discipline http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/08/150806144419.htm

Seniors think they can do more than they actually can http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/08/150806171022.htm

And last but not least: Maybe Hitchbot is wrong, maybe robots cannot trust humans. http://www.technologyreview.com/view/539986/robo-sabotage-is-surprisingly-common/
