To Be At My Own Fingertips

I can't stress enough how forcing myself to go without internet, as well as actually not being able to have it even if I could at times... was an eye opening experience.

I lived as a child before the 'information age'. This didn't mean I was without a craving for information. Forever reading... at the library, through my mom and dad's library filled with encyclopedias and our National Geographic magazines, discarded school textbooks.

Then this thing... AOL a way to get on the world wide web. This... google... ask it anything. Look at this extraultralglobalicious information portal... hooked-up.

You know I was, and am, and so glad to have it back.
All these stupid little phones and tablets and such just doesn't cut it for my X-Gen sized mind.
To be able to be me, and to find me... wherever I want to find myself is so visceral, I have to have it.

Glad to be back,

I have so much to tell you...

Planes Causing Rains

I saw this story, and I was instantly transported to my childhood.
National Geographic News - Planes Change Weather
I thought that the planes in the sky made clouds, and thus made the rain.  What was I supposed to think? With the vaporous jet stream pouring out of the back... it would stay long after the plane was out of sight. In my immature mind I explained that the thin stream was like a seeding. They grew into storms over time.

I may have been on to something... I must've been some kind of untapped child prodigy. hmph.
