Oscars 2014: And the Award for Best Picture Goes To…

It didn’t come as a surprise when 12 Years a Slave took home Best Picture at the 86th Academy Awards — it was the favored pick for the biggest award of the night — but it was still a delight to see the cast and crew pile up on stage to accept the award.

I’ve been wanting to see this, jimi recommended it.

In related news… I prob would stay away from any sequels like 12 Years a Slave-owner, though.

I can’t believe Trader Joe’s is wrapping tea bags in plastic.

Lipton somehow manages to use paper, a naturally degrading package.

Our Vision - The Overview Institute

A Critical Time

We live at a critical moment in human history. The challenges of climate change, food, water and energy shortages as well as the increasing disparity between the developed and developing nations are testing our will to unite, while differences in religions, cultures, and politics continue to keep us apart. The creation of a “global village” through satellite TV and the Internet is still struggling to connect the world into one community. At this critical moment, our greatest need is for a global vision of planetary unity and purpose for humanity as a whole.

The Overview Effect

For more than four decades, astronauts from many cultures and backgrounds have been telling us that, from the perspective of Earth orbit and the Moon, they have gained such a vision. There is even a common term for this experience: “The Overview Effect”, a phrase coined in the book of the same name by space philosopher and writer Frank White. It refers to the experience of seeing firsthand the reality of the Earth in space, which is immediately understood to be a tiny, fragile ball of life, hanging in the void, shielded and nourished by a paper-thin atmosphere. From space, the astronauts tell us, national boundaries vanish, the conflicts that divide us become less important and the need to create a planetary society with the united will to protect this “pale blue dot” becomes both obvious and imperative. Even more so, many of them tell us that from the Overview perspective, all of this seems imminently achievable, if only more people could have the experience!

Some day I shall read the book mentioned above.

I hate when people say “violently raped” — all rape is violent.

It’s not like there’s “casual rape” or something.

‘Planet Bonanza’ Indeed: NASA Unveils 715 New Worlds

The job of NASA’s Kepler mission is to peek at the far reaches of space in the hopes of finding potentially habitable planets. The space agency announced a stunning success, saying that Kepler had identified 715 new planets that orbit 305 stars. The discovery boosts the number of verified planets by around 70 percent.

“Four of the planets are about twice the size of Earth and orbit in their star’s so-called habitable zone,” NPR’s Nell Greenfieldboyce reports for our Newscast unit, “where temperatures might be suitable for liquid water.”

#NASA needs more funding.

We have three cats, don’t ask me why. IT WASN’T MY IDEA. But these two are cute as hell.

I often treat them as if they were almost human since I generally agree with Animal Rights, blah, blah, blah.

They can come and go as they please, they’re their own person. They’re loving and playful. Mirah, the one on the right, plays fetch with a rubber snake. She’s the best.

They’re part of the family.

That is until .. THEY EAT THEIR OWN PUKE.
