AK one of the fattest states
So I guess it doesn’t matter that we have more open space than any other state, or days that last 24 hours. Must be the winters that are keeping us down?

It’s not the size of the rod, but how you use it…
I have this strange affinity for this planet, its where all my stuff is. So I will be writing more about the “green tech” advancements of this world of monkeys, and my own efforts. Screw Shakespeare, lets see if a thousand monkeys can add a few years to the planet.
Nanorods are being researched as a way to increase the efficiency of solar panels, but now they have discovered other uses.
Copper Nanorods Reduce Energy Needed by an Order of Magnitude
After super-efficient solar panels
that are “hairy” on the nanoscale, here come “hairy” pots & pans,
as well as computer chip heatsinks and other heat-transferring devices.
Researchers at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute made the
“unexpected” discovery: “by adding an invisible layer of the
nanomaterials to the bottom of a metal vessel, an order of magnitude
increase in efficiency is achieved in bringing water to boil. [...] The
potential applications for this discovery are vast and exciting, and
we’re eager to continue our investigations into this phenomenon.”
On the Radio
This is how it works
You’re young until you’re not
You love until you don’t
You try until you can’t
You laugh until you cry
You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe
Until their dying breath
No, this is how it works
You peer inside yourself
You take the things you like
And try to love the things you took
And then you take that love you made
And stick it into some
Someone else’s heart
Pumping someone else’s blood
And walking arm in arm
You hope it don’t get harmed
But even if it does
You’ll just do it all again
The Truth Behind Creativity
This is how I honestly feel about my own writing.
Dan le Sac Vs. Scroobius Pip
Its rare that I come across intelligent and entertaining art without cracking a book binding, but this is exactly what we have with Scroobius Pip. See for yourself….
thoughts from the Older
A few days ago the earth completed a 32nd spin around the sun for me. Cosmically speaking, this is insignificant, not even a blink on the temporal scale of what matters. However, I find myself focusing more thoughts on this event than in years past.
The source of these thoughts are not new, rather they come from years of wondering and self-flagellation. When asked if he had any regrets, William Burroughs’s is said to have commented, “everyday”. I have tried to place myself in an opposite mindset, trying to force myself to have no guilt, no doubt and no regrets. But I am fighting a human condition developed possibly over thousands of years of evolution, hell, maybe its a necessary condition for learning and survival, no matter how uncomfortable it might be.
Have no doubt, I have made mistakes, large ones, which will affect my thoughts and life till my untimely death. And then there have been other things, not mistakes, but rather inactions, shadow voids of what I should have done, had I the conviction to do them. As each year goes by, these things weigh heavier on me. But rather then dwell on this, I have always tried to keep a forward momentum on my psyche, a focus on what is to come, rather than what was failed.
But this year, this year is one of the first where, I question the possibilities of “what is to come”, where I wonder if inaction has an inverse, where the comfort of the pattern may be too much.
I have determined that I will continue to try, to fix past wrongs by changing my future, but that shadow does not go far, it waits and bides its time for the next revolution of planet and star.
Send your hopeful thoughts my way, I fear I’ll need them.
