Survival Machine Resolutions for 2008

This post is fashionably late, but who cares?  Your favorite blog’s author just had cable internet installed at the Survival Machine world publishing headquarters (aka my apartment), and is ready to tackle some serious informed and educational commentary.  A lot is happening - NASA’s planning another space shuttle launch in February, and scientists just found a volcano in Antarctica! And, incredibly, the state of Florida is facing a number of local school board-level movements to discredit the teaching of evolution in public schools (since they’ve been failing miserably at getting I.D. into the curricula).  I guess Mike Huckabee can expect to do well there in the upcoming Republican primary.

So here we go: Survival Machine New Year 2008 Resolutions

• Do not allow 7 days to pass without an update.
• Write at least one well-researched on the state of alternative energy science.
• Do several science experiments and post pictures, video, and a how-to guide for readers.

• Score at least one interview with a notable scientist or politician.
• Consider partnership with another author to make blog more prolific.
• Document this year’s trip to Burning Man with a passion!
• Cover the presidential election as it regards science issues.
• Get noticed (and linked to) by some of the better science bloggers out there.
• To be continued…
