"It is the height of hubris to think we could [destroy the earth]," Beard told MinnPost, before saying that even devastating nuclear events shouldn't cast doubt on his theory that the earth can always be repaired.

I totally agree, the earth will still be around. The issue of devastating nuclear events is really more about us still being able to live on it.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

But someone is playing music somewhere, right? Can you figure out where it's coming from?

Shouldn't my neighbor be the one to do that?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Shouldn't my neighbor be the one to do that?

Well, in an ideal world, yes. But if s/he's an idiot, sometimes you gotta help them out a bit.

Also, did your neighbor come down to your apartment? If so, did s/he notice you weren't playing music?

Firefly is going to re-air on the Science Channel. From EW.com [link]

The Science Channel has acquired the rights to the cult-hit and will air the series in its short-lived entirety, plus some new extras. Science Channel will wrap each episode with interstitial segments starring renowned physicist Dr. Michio Kaku, who will discuss the theoretical science behind the show’s sci-fi concepts.

There's also a quick interview with Nathan Fillion (who is going to be on Letterman tonight):

If I got $300 million from the California Lottery, the first thing I would do is buy the rights to Firefly, make it own my own, and distribute it on the Internet.

Of course, EW's tweet gave me heart palpitations on first glance:

I invited him to come in and check and he just said that I could've turned it off before I answered the door.

ION, at work we're finally moving to Highland Park today. That means I change from a CTA person to a Metra person, among other things. So, a longer commute but on a comfy train.
