so far reading the nytimes has been amazing. i never could have imagined that news would be so. . . interesting. unfortunately at other times it can be creepy like when i read the story about photos on the internet being used to create false profiles. the story is posted here. in this case nothing really bad happened but it could have been much worse. someone could have used photos like that to create a fake Facebook page which could damage your reputation when you try to apply for a job.anyway back on the subject of the nytimes there are tons of things on there that i had absolutely no idea that they even existed. sure there are new stories about things i know, but to find stories on subjects i didn't even know of, wow. i don't even know where to begin. should i look at this one or should i save it for later while i look at that one. there's just too much, its overwhelming.
just a few days ago i was reading a very interesting story about the large Hadron collider. i didn't understand some of what they were talking about but what i can guess what they are saying. apparently some physicists proposed the idea that the higgs bosen (particle they are trying to create in the super collider) might be so contrary to nature that it would ripple backward in time to prevent it's creation. sounds a little crazy to me but, hey, it could be possible.
now back on what i'm supposed to be talking about. I've mostly looked at stories on technology and science because those interest me but if i happen to see an interesting story on a different story i will read it. of course this means that i'm missing out on a lot of the other subjects so i need to balance it out some. i have not noticed a change in any of my other habits, readings, writing, work, thoughts, attitudes, or interactions.

  1. I read that Haldron Collider story, too. Very interesting. I was then talking with people about it, which got us talking about time travel, about science experiments ending the world. All of this started with that news story. I'm glad that you're finding so much of interest in the news.
