1 step forward 50 backwards
February 16th, 2010
I read this on ArsTechnica earlier today:
Each year, at least a half-dozen states seem to introduce legislation intended to undermine science education standards by allowing or requiring nonscientific ideas to be taught alongside a standard biology curriculum. In recent years, these have taken the form of the so-called “academic freedom” bills, which allow teachers to bring in outside materials that undercut standard science textbooks. Many of these bills are now placing climate change beside evolution as a target for special criticism, and there are signs that climatology may become an independent target for state legislators.
What can you even say? I’m speechless.
Corporation says it will run for Congress

Found this via Daring Fireball:
And here I was hoping that one day corporations and their CEO’s would be held legally liable for their actions.
NASA gives up on the Moon
February 2nd, 2010
I was a little disappointed to hear that Barrack Obama’s budget cuts are going to force NASA to cancel their Constellation program which aimed to try and return to the Moon by 2010. In my opinion space exploration and climate change are probably the two most important goals any nation can set, so I’m really disappointed in this news. They’ve been trying to spin it by claiming that NASA will work on other programs and look past the Moon (meaning Mars) however I think that’s just spin talk at it’s best. In my opinion any deep space exploration will need to begin from space and the best way to do that is establish a permanent presence on the Moon that can be used as a launching pad for future endeavors
Slaughterhouse concert
January 24th, 2010
I went and photographed the Slaughterhouse concert last night in Stockholm. I honestly can’t even tell you how the concert was because I was shooting pictures non-stop from start to finish, the only the song I can remember them doing was Royce da 5′9″s classic Boom.
