And I'll be watching as soon as I dump this post into the gaping maw of the Webmonster. It seems like you can pour as much content as you like into the beast...and it's still an empty void.
So 100 years ago, Einstein wrote out the equasion E=MC2
which later gave humanids the foundation for atomic bombs, and 3 mile-island and some other whacky stuff. But what else was happening in the world in 1905? Japan was kicking the ass of Russia in a war over Korea (and probly some other stuff too, but I'm too lazy to look it up right now.) using weapons that would basically make us modern humanids laugh.
So now we got drones and robots, and stealth-planes and cruise missiles, and satellites and whatnot defending our little patch of the globe, and as I looked around the city, I sort of wondered...have we really done enough with the time we've had?
I mean, I don't see flying cars, there's no hovercraft-only lanes on the 110 freeway. There's no hi-speed mag-lev train with a martini-car that could whisk me off to Vegas in three hours. I did see the Goodyear Blimp floatin' around, but that's technology that basically dates from 1905.
I'm not saying we don't have some cool technology and all, but, how often do you really walk around your burg and say, "Wow-this is some pretty-out-there 21st century shit I'm living in!"
Well, I gotta go watch me some ball.
(the NFL was organized in the 1920's)
Here's some of that hi-tech crap I was talking about, if you ain't interested in a stone-aged rivalry with 300 pound guys who throw people around for a living.
