the world as i see it skip to main skip to sidebar the world as i see it the world how it works surroundings myself etc saturday february 22 2014 leisure what is this life if full of care we have no time to stand and stare no time to stand beneath the boughs and stare as long as sheep or cows no time to see when woods we pass where squirrels hide their nuts in grass no time to see in broad daylight streams full of stars like skies at night no time to turn at beauty s glance and watch her feet how they can dance no time to wait till her mouth can enrich that smile her eyes began a poor life this is if full of care we have no time to stand and stare william henry davies posted by unknown at 12 37 pm no comments friday february 08 2013 disabling the side mouse button on evoluent vertical mouse on linux i switched to the evoluent vertical mouse after rsi in my wrist the mouse is great once you get used to it however i m annoyed by its top side button it gets hit accidentally while browsing and ends up triggerring the back button on a web page i don t like that to disable figure out the device id for the evoluent mouse xinput list in my case the id was 8 the buttons are listed in order and xinput query state 8 shows me that there are 14 of them as listed under button labels button labels 254 button left 124 button middle 125 button right 126 button wheel up 127

more accidentally pressing the back button posted by unknown at 1 08 am no comments monday october 03 2011 the more loving one looking up at the stars i know quite well that for all they care i can go to hell but on earth indifference is the least we have to dread from man or beast how should we like it were stars to burn with a passion for us we could not return if equal affection cannot be let the more loving one be me admirer as i think i am of stars that do not give a damn i cannot now i see them say i missed one terribly all day were all stars to disappear or die i should learn to look at an empty sky and feel its total darkness sublime though this might take me a little time w h auden posted by unknown at 9 46 am no comments wednesday september 07 2011 there is grandeur in this view of life i finished reading richard dawkins s the greatest show on earth as i mentioned earlier this book provides ammunition for you to confront the irrational types of who believe that god in his mercy created the earth with all the living creatures in it including humans in the last 10 000 years it provides evidence for why evolution is a scientific fact beyond all reasonable doubt the book dives deep into the tons of fossil evidence discovered throughout the earth which have been meticulously calculated to be in the right order for example a flying creature has been discovered to live only after the evolution of wings not before not once has there been any fossil records discovered from the wrong time if you find one evolution will be debunked i m not holding my breath but here s the kicker even if there were no fossil records evolution would still stay ground on the basis of all the other scientific evidences that we have the arsenal of fossils available to us is a bonus it further reinforces evolution evolution is in line with the myriad forms of life that exist on the planet it explains why life is imperfect it s still evolving it explains why creatures have different abilities depending on their habitat it does not lead to paradoxes compare this with the creationist argument of an intelligent designer god where even if you are somehow able to explain who created god you still have all the explaining ahead of you why is there misery why is there sorrow unless of course if you agree that god is a sadist why is that some creatures have acute vision while others are practically blind why do we have redundant body parts appendix tail bone why do we have body parts which would have been much efficiently designed if an intelligent designer was devising them evolution answers all of these not that i ever doubted evolution but i never realized how profound it was in shaping life nature cares about only one thing the survival of the fittest period it doesn t matter if it leads to widespread agony plague or earth quake nature is not interested at every point the genes undergo random mutation and nature selectively votes in favor of the ones that have a high chance of survival thereby carrying forward the genetic code the book ends beautifully with we are surrounded by endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful and it is no accident but the direct consequence of evolution by non random natural selection the only game in town the greatest show on earth there really is grandeur in this view of life posted by unknown at 9 02 am no comments monday august 29 2011 the greatest show on earth evolution all of us have religious friends who might otherwise be fairly smart and logical but assume a veil of irrationality when it comes to anything that challenges their faith all logic and science is kosher as long as they don t contradict their beliefs out of respect you tread not to offend them but at the same time you wish you had solid arguments or anecdotes that could help them discover their irrationality if only one step at a time richard dawkins s the greatest show on earth is just that through a series of examples historical as well as contemporary worded in layman s vocabulary he conveys the scientifically observed tenets of evolution evolution is not a theory it s a fact it s a fact beyond reasonable doubt it s a fact beyond all doubt it s a fact period it can be proven with scientific rigor it can be repeated and to date there hasn t been a single observation or finding to the contrary when you think of evolution you might think of centuries of chiseling of the genetic code through natural selection the picture of fish to amphibious mammals to apes to humans is all too familiar but did you know that there are examples of evolution that you can observe in daily life today evolution through natural selection is the reason why every time you have a bacterial infection the doctor requires you to complete your antibiotic dosage you re not supposed to terminate it premature even if you feel fine or else you d have selected in favor of resistant bacterial mutations before you get rid of the entire population i ve just finished chapter 5 and i ve already seen several such examples from daily life as well as examples from radioactive timing of fossils from millions of years of evolutionary life the grandeur is so beautiful and makes so much sense through an understanding of evolution that you begin to pity the desperate arguments by creationists who believe that all life originated merely some thousands of years ago through the whims of a sad god the book is absolutely delightful so far posted by unknown at 11 47 am 1 comment saturday july 23 2011 the rubaiyat look not above there is no answer there pray not for no one listens to your prayer near is as near to god as any far and here is just the same deceit as there and do you think that unto such as you a maggot minded starved fanatic crew god gave the secret and denied it me well well what matters it believe that too did god set grapes a growing do you think and at the same time make it sin to drink give thanks to him who foreordained it thus surely he loves to hear the glasses clink omar khayyam posted by unknown at 2 44 pm no comments monday july 18 2011 a trip to yellowstone yellowstone the country s first national park is unlike any other every spot in the park reinforces this from high mountains to grassy plains craters to waterfalls huge trees to wild animals in abundance each of the 5 entrances to the park presents an entirely different perspective we began our visit from its southern neighbor the grand teton park in retrospect it wasn t such a good idea the only thing the grand teton park has is the gand teton mountain nothing else was exciting enough but we fruitlessly spent an entire day looking around in this park as soon as we entered yellowstone it was a dream only you could see it living and breathing infront of your eyes the first wild animal we saw was a bison a creature which has been living on this earth since the last ice age with shredded furry coats they looked like having a good time in the summer in fact they d quite often get near the roads sometimes even block traffic with onlookers every so happy to point their cameras while they made their way across the road we also saw elks mule deers and pronghorns they can be easily seen in the lamar valley area the stretch coming from the north east entrance of the park at one spot in lamar valley there was a huge lineup of stationary vehicles so we stopped too people were peering into the adjacent hill and i was able to see a wolf on its chase pretty neat i didn t see any bears in retrospect that was a good thing since the very day we made out of the park someone was killed by a bear in the interiors of the park when you see a bear don t run don t startle just drop dead as per common wisdom that s your best defense but i think if a bear attacked me i d attack it directly in its eyes rendering it directionless i mean how difficult can that be yellowstone has the highest concentration of natural geysers in the world there are hundreds of them you can see them active any time any season and boy are they colorful apparently aside from the minerals being pushed out from the inside of the earth with the boiling steam the colors are also caused by some thermophile organisms that live here puddles of green turquoise greenish blue boiling mud were abundant it was breathtaking nothing like i d ever seen before in all it was a memorable trip well worth the 2500 miles i drove posted by unknown at 11 00 am no comments older posts home subscribe to posts atom about me unknown view my complete
