What’s up?

I just deleted the last post because the YouTube video embedding had been disabled for the will.i.am “It’s A New Day” video.  Check it out here if you haven’t seen it yet.

I’ve been meaning to write about a number of interesting developments lately, including the recent difficulties with the Hubble Space Telescope.  But what’s grabbed my attention at the moment, and what may turn into a real post (gosh, it’s been a while) is this: evolution may actually be able to learn. You heard right – life may actually evolve the ability to evolve faster.  If that’s true, it’s another nail in the coffin for any theory that suggests complex life hasn’t had enough time to develop by natural selection.

Let’s get through this next day of work, first, and then I’ll think about writing something more. If I don’t decide to finish Kafka’s The Metamorphosis first, that is.
