I have been debating with myself whether or not I should add some of my reading material to this site. The debate basically centers around the fact that it seems most people visit the site to see pictures of Chloe. Now that the Picasso and Flickr sites are up, and have been for some time coupled with the fact that Kristie is not blogging much anymore, I have decided to include on this blog information about current events and material on the web.
The majority of this content will be directed to social and political issues of the day, but I may decide to include a few reference to great thinkers like Socrates, Sir Isac Newton and others. The majority of this content will be things that fill my head most of day. Talks I listen to every day. Hopefully this will be a resource to you, encourage you to view the world in a new way, or in my own personal case, provide an opportunity for you to change your own thinking in a completely new and radical way that is both rewarding and mentally healthy.
With that, I have included at the bottom of this page a list of google videos that I find very powerful and thought provoking. I have included Neil Tyson's presentation at Beyond Belief 2006. In case you don't know Neil is the directory for the planetarium at the Smithsonian, and recently wrote the book Death By Black Hole. I hope you watch his presentation it is 45 minutes in length and quite entertaining.
