I'm going to pursue other writing projects. I appreciate all the feedback and banter and friends this blog has generated. I will be staying in touch with my "blog friends" despite halting posts on this web site. <br /><br />I'm going to keep the site up, as at this point I can see folks are enjoying the archives and I still get comments from long-past posts that confirm this. <br /><br />Enjoy, <br /><br />Bp<br /><br />[<span style="font-style:italic;">photo credit, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sunset_2007-1.jpg">Wiki Commons</a></span>]Bpaulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10009087847894914228noreply@blogger.com19tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7508984726672877916.post-25978069884333646592010-05-01T22:27:00.000-07:002010-05-01T22:31:25.717-07:00Saturday (not morning) Awesome: Homeless man's cover of "Creep"This is a homeless man named Mustard, covering Radiohead's song Creep on the Opie and Anthony's satellite radio show.

I have no idea if his accusations are correct, or if he's doing anything more than browbeating the EU president. But it's awesome. And Farage, in this moment at least, is a badass the likes of which I'd love to see in U.S. politics. <br /><br />Ps: I am blatantly ripping this genius find from <a href="http://danceswithanxiety.blogspot.com/2010/03/civil-fckin-discourse.html">Faith in Honest Doubt</a>'s pages.

In fact, it could be a proof that climate change is actively in progress creating that very storm. <br /><br />Here is Bill Nye on the Rachel Maddow show addressing this sentiment directly. <br /><br />The quote that says it best from Nye is, <span style="font-weight:bold;">"there's more energy in the atmosphere, and this is stirring things up."</span> The global climate is a complicated system, you heat one area and another could get very cold because of it -- thus the 'stirring things up' he's referring to. <br /><br /><object width="320" height="265"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/RYvk1OtI0H0&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/RYvk1OtI0H0&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="265"></embed></object><br /><br />Enjoy logic and reason applied to large planetary problems, <br /><br />BpBpaulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10009087847894914228noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7508984726672877916.post-28905810835105894602010-02-13T06:30:00.000-08:002010-02-13T06:30:00.440-08:00Oarfish are awesome<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg31WcpPjrA-cbb878XQ9k-TDj8_XtDtB8V3qhrim3mff1x95JXRqtEwFRUKRzc9nWJYHOgyla7qURF-TVL_nOZlibVbrSNoHT4Z_j7uMq_oofkIqK_5sgtTDnmzWmSgzKwlFeTzKT5GMU/s1600-h/oarfish3.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg31WcpPjrA-cbb878XQ9k-TDj8_XtDtB8V3qhrim3mff1x95JXRqtEwFRUKRzc9nWJYHOgyla7qURF-TVL_nOZlibVbrSNoHT4Z_j7uMq_oofkIqK_5sgtTDnmzWmSgzKwlFeTzKT5GMU/s320/oarfish3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436863122040200210" /></a><br />For the Saturday Morning Awesome this week, I present the <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/earth/hi/earth_news/newsid_8501000/8501251.stm">first known footage of an Oarfish in its native environs (very deep sea) off the Gulf of Mexico</a>.

Bad strategic move there, folks. That ship was a peach, and would have been extremely effective. <br /><br />I don't know or care who did what -- they're playing with fire down there and folks are going to get burned. I still fully support Sea Shepherd's activities. <br /><br /><a href="http://network.nationalpost.com/np/blogs/fullcomment/archive/2010/01/06/good-riddance-ady-gil.aspx">Here is an link</a> to some video footage, and the type of vitriol the anti-environmentalist folks sling at Sea Shepherd. <br /><br />Here's the thing -- the anti-whale, anti-environment folks always rail against the illegality of Sea Shepherd's actions, but not against the illegality of Japan's actions. Japan is blatantly breaching international law and lying about not using the whales for food (which they can't even find a market for, so they put in school lunches despite high levels of mercury). They're international poachers for crissakes. And there is zero enforcement down in those seas except for Sea Shepherd. <br /><br />When the whales are gone, they're gone -- FOREVER. No take-backs. <br /><br />Now, is the Sea Shepherd crew a bunch of amateurish, media-hungry blowhards? Well, sure. Sure they are. But I don't care. Forever is a very long time, and that's where I draw the line. <br /><br />Bp<br /><br />[<span style="font-style:italic;">photo credit in <a href="http://news.discovery.com/animals/whaling-clash-antarctica.html">linked article</a>, vitriolic video link via <a href="http://www.daniboynton.com/blog/index.php?x=about">Dani Boynton Photography</a></span>]Bpaulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10009087847894914228noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7508984726672877916.post-41564331636685480052009-12-28T06:30:00.000-08:002009-12-28T06:30:01.317-08:00Octopi officially deemed 'tool using' animal<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy2X1eBV5oqLsC6TQDHkTO_a9Dbqk2AbuYeHnusVmPj3wEF5T_dshFU44VWaLiT9nuOBqiZgwQr2Vm91JLOiKqUiIyTbiSDJSjxbuTxb5-DsWoOlVEBhOGgsqVOtIk0XeiPGoDEHNo1jw/s1600-h/octopuscoconut.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 178px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy2X1eBV5oqLsC6TQDHkTO_a9Dbqk2AbuYeHnusVmPj3wEF5T_dshFU44VWaLiT9nuOBqiZgwQr2Vm91JLOiKqUiIyTbiSDJSjxbuTxb5-DsWoOlVEBhOGgsqVOtIk0XeiPGoDEHNo1jw/s200/octopuscoconut.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419833440851634354" /></a><br />Scientists seem pretty loathe to hand out the title 'tool using' to animals.

He used a mix of film and digital cameras, including an 8 by 10 field camera, a Kodak Pocket Vest camera, circa 1909, and a Speed Graphic, among others. His idea was to use the cameras that would have been used over the course of the Park's 100 years. </blockquote><br /><br /><a href="http://www.glacierparkmagazine.com/100_days_in_Glacier_National_Park/100daysinGlacierNationalPark.html">Here is the whole set of 100 photographs</a> with the artists comments, well worth your time.
