Back at it!
It's been a long time since I've been in front of a computer regularly enough to blog, but I've just read an amazing article about sensors in forests to alert firefighters about fires - powered by the trees themselves! If a tree falls in the forest and it can make a phone call, yes, you will know about it. So know about this too!

The road to space
Labels:
space spaceport moon travel
The kindly government has just allowed Spaceport America the go ahead to build the first commercial spaceport! Check out this article about it, but trust me, this is amazing. It's the beginning of human expansion off the Earth, and it will carry great consequences. I'm so impressed with humanity (on this one little front) that I'll risk being left hanging by humanity and go for a high five!

Why I'm voting for Obama
TOP 5 REASONS OBAMA SUPPORTERS SHOULDN'T REST EASY
1. The polls may be wrong. This is an unprecedented election. No one knows how racism may affect what voters tell pollsters—or what they do in the voting booth. And the polls are narrowing anyway. In the last few days, John McCain has gained ground in most national polls, as his campaign has gone even more negative.
2. Dirty tricks. Republicans are already illegally purging voters from the rolls in some states. They're whipping up hysteria over ACORN to justify more challenges to new voters. Misleading flyers about the voting process have started appearing in black neighborhoods. And of course, many counties still use unsecure voting machines.
3. October surprise. In politics, 15 days is a long time. The next McCain smear could dominate the news for a week. There could be a crisis with Iran, or Bin Laden could release another tape, or worse.
4. Those who forget history... In 2000, Al Gore won the popular vote after trailing by seven points in the final days of the race. In 1980, Reagan was eight points down in the polls in late October and came back to win. Races can shift—fast!
5. Landslide. Even with Barack Obama in the White House, passing universal health care and a new clean-energy policy is going to be hard. Insurance, drug and oil companies will fight us every step of the way. We need the kind of landslide that will give Barack a huge mandate.

Bailout on the bailout
This is a mass email. I don't do it much, but this one I had to send.
I'm worried about the economy. I'm worried about how what happens on Wall Street will affect the world. And I must do something about it. I read an article today that I think you all should read. And it's message is clear, we must tell our representatives and political candidates one thing: "Don't do it."

Read this article if you like, I think it is very clear, and very important. If you aren't upset about what's going on then you probably haven't been paying attention. It's criminal.
Wishing you all the best, and the chance to make it so,
Eli
