Zombies Above Us

Did you know that there are Zombies overhead at this very moment? Zombie Satellites that is; they call them “ZombieSats”. See the paragraph near the middle of the article. They’re dead but still moving about. Somebody could make a video game where we get to blow them out of the sky.  Seriously, we could call it, “Left ‘in Orbit’ 4 Dead.” We could call the sequel, “Debris Rain of the Dead.”

Google Everything…And, I MEAN Everything

These are some very useful services offered by Google that you may or may not know about. You might find some of them interesting. I am never astonished enough when I consider the sheer volume of information now available at our fingertips. It is at the same time wonderful and frightening too. Like so many things of this nature, we should pause and reflect on the proper use of raw information. It brings to mind some thoughts and quotes from several great thinkers:

“Information is Not Knowledge.” -Albert Einstein
“Knowledge is Power (scientia potentia est.)” -Sir Francis Bacon from Meditationes Sacrae 1597
"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." – Lord Acton.
“With enlightenment, comes mission.” – a lesson from the allegory of the cave in Plato’s “Republic.”
 "To whom much is given, much is expected.” - Luke 12:48

Creativity, Imagination, and Deception

Using the technique of “futuring” one would have to recognize how this type of technology can be misused to deceive. Fantastic and wonderful on many levels but like most things, we must be guarded and stay educated as to its uses.

Remember when movies were made on location.

A really cool video that let’s us see how movies are being made now.

Having Fun with Duct Tape - Can you say Triboluminescence?

At first, I did not think this was for real. "Tribo what?"....But, I had to give it a try. It actually works. My light was white however. It must have something to do with the particular brand of duct tape, which was "Advo" brand duct tape in my case.  The guy in the video used "Duck" brand duct tape; his light was blue.

Don't be shy; I know you want to try it. Get a piece of duct tape, find a very dark room and rip away. Good for hours of fun and it could be better that popping bubble wrap. Well, maybe not.

The following is a quote I lifted from the You Tube page that describes the phenomenon known as triboluminescence.

"Separating pieces of duct tape will cause them to produce a blue line of light in an effect called triboluminescence. What's happening is that the action of pulling apart the glue causes charge separation in the two strips. The charges then attempt to recombine and collide with nearby molecules (of tape, glue, or air) exciting them and releasing light."
