Singularity in Second Life Works Fine and So Does Cat's Stream

Each step is a victory and not so much with the software but what clever password is in-play for this one.  There are three in the above as Second Life needs a password, as does Cat's audio stream, and so does the Nicecast software to use Cat's stream.  If you forget that magic number, find $60 or you are no longer an Apple Internet radio station.

All very good and splendid to see that SL window at a size I can see it with all those colors ... whew.


Facebook will take some time as the way to get around the silly naming restrictions is to use different email accounts on different servers.  All easy but do try to remember which one you decided would be the primary and, by the way, what was that password.  My own answer to both:  no idea.

I'm leery of Facebook as it can eat a tremendous part of the day and it's amusing insofar it's somewhat informative, entertaining, or so but it doesn't produce anything and I'm hugely defensive of time which is not going to produce something even if it's only Today's Deep Thought.  Maybe on hearing it you think a minnow could have found it but, lighten up, this is Texas ... it's harder.


All in all, I'd rather be riding a zebra except for two problems:  I do not have a zebra and have no idea how to ride one.  It would also be good if she didn't mind when every so often I shouted out for no particular reason, "Diese ist fucking cool!"

Think of riding one of those around Europe, Cadillac Man.  That would be almost as cool as riding a unicorn if, of course, either of us had any idea how to ride either of them.  Yevette probably knows how to ride one as she's been a Texas girl for a long time.  It's the law: if you can't ride then you can't grow up in Texas.  It's the same as listening to country music in Tennessee: it's the law.


They don't want to teach evolution in schools in Texas and yet the fossil record of the evolution of the horse is one of the most complete of any creature and it goes all the way back to an ancestor about the size of a dog.  (Ithaka:  Evolution of Eohippus (Horse) - one of the most heavily-read articles on the entire blog)

They're riding one of the most well-known examples and best theoretical proofs of evolution ever discovered ... and yet it's not permissible to review that in school.  Gee-up, cowboy.

(Ed:  that was today's Minnow of a Deep Thought?)

Right you are, matey


Note: a theoretical proof is not the same as The Proof but rather a component of it.  The only way to obtain The Proof of Evolution is to find a planet in the same state as the primeval Earth and observe the same process happens.  Get me back to me in four billion years or so on that.  Meanwhile, people believe there are mind control chemicals in the vapor trails from aircraft but do not believe in evolution.  Welcome to Planet Earth.
