Pilot's Log

GetTV was showing the 1960s Jason And The Argonauts just now.  It's weird that when I saw it in theater when I was a kid that I was so awed by the effects.  I still see the genius in it, even though now it's painfully obvious how it was done.

Sagittarius Horoscope for week of April 22, 2010

I have a group of colleagues who half-jokingly, half-sincerely refer to themselves as the Shamanic Hackers of Karmic Justice. The joking part of it is that the title is so over-the-top ostentatious that it keeps them from taking themselves too seriously. The sincere part is that they really do engage in shamanic work designed to help free their clients from complications generated by old mistakes. Since you're entering the season of adjustment and atonement, I asked them to do some corrective intervention in your behalf. They agreed, with one provision: that you aid and abet their work by doing what you can to liberate yourself from the consequences of wrong turns you made in the past.

The way I see it, tho', I'm in a state of karmic ambiguity, as the path I'm trying to approach hasn't shown itself to be a right path OR a wrong one yet.

(Wrote this in a forum last year. Not specifically my idea, but just exploring it.)

Some people in their signatures say that they don't want to play God, just borrow his SMITE button.

Forget that, I want to borrow his PULL FIRMAMENT FROM VOID button.

How about this:

1) Boost Venus from its current orbit (3/4 AU) up to Earth's belt level...maybe a good distance ahead or behind Terra/Luna in the same track. For an encore I'd boost Mercury up as well and make that Venus' moon.

2) Take Mars (along with both Deimos and Phobos) and drop them into the Terran orbit track as well.

3) Loot the bigger moons from Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune and slip them into comfortable orbits, also along the Terran orbit track.

Between the dozen or so planetary and satellite bodies given, we could expand the elbow room for Homo Sapiens and Company at least three or four times, maybe more, depending on how many moons get looted from the Gas Giants. Of course, the Solar Systemic juggling act would take levels of energy far beyond anything possible with current technology. But if you're going to get the power of a God, it is surely better to rearrange than to burn. :)

And I want to mention two things: 1)Twenty years ago this month, I started my first terms at college. 2)A few years ago, I predicted that the world as we knew it would end this month. Earth would be turned into a burnt-out desert world so that eleven others would support Terrestrial life. Of course, this prediction has a possibility rating of less than 1%.
