Can somebody please tell me why I have KLINGON language support on my computer! Well, when I turned it on, no programs had a Klingon interface, but still. I think someone somewhere has way too much time on their hands. And yes, the reason I know that it says Klingon is because I used to watch Star Trek avidly, like you wouldn’t believe. I’m kinda glad those days are gone now, I still appreciate it but one day I just stopped watching. I think the sun was shining outside, so I went out.

I was sent this link by a friend of mine, and I have really no words to adequately describe how amazed I am. Shock, awe, and sadness don’t even come close to it. If this is really a cross-section of the average US citizen, the mind boggles. How so many people can be totally ignorant of the outside world is beyond me.
In all seriousness, I know that many Americans are smart people, but if I were one of them I’d be embarrassed at this.

I thought I’d like to share this with the outside world. I haven’t blogged for a while, much work has kept me busy and I hate being in front of my computer at the moment, even though its a pretty Mac. It’s a bad sign when you’ve sat in the same place typing for so long (feels like weeks) that when you stop you don’t know what to do with yourself.
Well the Chinese Government in their infinite wisdom have decided that the appropriate re-distribution of the people’s money is to paint a mountain green! I invite you to read this. My favourite part is the bewildered local forestry official saying:
“This is an order from above,” she said. “You should ask the leader from above. I don’t have any information on this.”
They just did their job. Maybe the Chinese want the American satellites operators to think they are off-setting their carbon emissions.
