The trouble with tribbles

There is a lot of debate out there just now with regards to religion. What is happening? I honestly felt that civilization was moving forward to a common pursuit for objective, hard evidence. I remember about 5 years ago when the international space station was in its infancy and a clutch of probes were being sent out on their travels into space. Since 9/11, an extreme focus on religion has taken place. This I feel has moved us toward the meta-physical than the actual physical. Why do humans have to paint the universe in a certain light and not accept it for what it is? It might not be pretty in places, but it can be extraordinary in others. There might not be a creator but then we are in sole charge of our destiny and if there were a creator, should we worship him so?

New horizons

Ok, it has been a while since I have written to my blog. But just to get back on track, I have started my new job and that has kinda been keeping me busy and it is going really well so far.

Can't believe Robert Altman has died, he was one of the last true auteurs of modern cinema.

Tony Blair admitting that Iraq was a disaster and then back tracking trying to reject his own statement. Tony, just try telling the truth mate, it saves embarrassing gaffs such as that. But then again that would be too much like admitting defeat and that you were wrong.

What's happening with space? Well I have a few thoughts on that which I am fermenting in my head, so stay tuned...
