Google Relieves the Revolt

Have not posted in a few days. been busy procrastinating. the revolt in Egypt is all over right now so i will just briefly touch on the part i have an opinion about. looting and vandalism is rampant and one thing in the country that is probably the most valuable is the museum that houses the entire history of the region. at first the military was guarding it but apparently after a while they started to move out or become inefficient or something. anyway there was a small case of vandalism there but nothing important was damaged. then i read that groups of people from all classes were barricading themselves in front of the museums to keep them safe. this as far as i am concerned shows that we are evolving as a species. if this had happened when they burned the library of Alexandria the world would be a sharp contrast to how it is now. the fact that random people were willing to risk their own lives for the sake of the preservation of knowledge and history really makes me happy and hopeful. because without our history, and without our knowledge we are lost.
a follow up to a recent post i made about them cutting off the Internet and cell signals in that country. truly amazing thing happened. google created a service were one could tweet via a phone recording. which is amazing because it shows that no matter how hard a government tries to cut its people off from the global Internet, we will find a way to give a voice to those people. we will find a way for those people to express themselves to the rest of us, to show what is truly going on there.

Google unveiled a new "app" that i think really sums up what google is here for. it allows one to experience art from other places in the world in amazing detail. google should be here to catalog and store our global information, and allow it viewable to everyone. the 21st century is going to be about instant access to everything, and google is slowly making that possible.

Yesterday the storm of the year hit. or as everyone is calling it the snowacolypse. i was supposed to go to work but i would have had to drive home at 11:45 in a foot of snow driving a firebird.....um no thank you. so i called off, which should not be a big deal since i have only called off one other time since i was hired there and it was because i had severe food poisoning.
Crystal and Larry came over to hang out here during the night of the storm. about halfway through the night we decided we needed some cut and bake cookies. so we ventured out into the blizzard. it was nuts, the wind had to be 40 MPH and it was not snow, it was sleet/ice. which was fun.

Steve finished the outside of the building and now has nothing to do but the inside furnishings and such. kind of exciting however this means once he has finished we both will be stuck with no ideas on what to do next.

A Dyson sphere is a hypothetical megastructure originally described by Freeman Dyson. Such a "sphere" would be a system of orbiting solar power satellites meant to completely encompass a star and capture most or all of its energy output.
