Tree House Hotel

Just read an article on Yahoo about a tree house that is covered with mirrors.  They actually are building six of them.  And they look pretty cool.

They are being advertised as eco-friendly so if you are heading to Sweden and are not afraid of heights you migh consider giving them a try.

Happy 4th of July

Looks like a wonderful day to spend outside in nature. 

Have a great day!

Nukes to save the planet

I recently read an interesting [well I think so anyway] article on the Discovery website.  The author [a Mr. Ian O'neill] gives a bit of information about using nukes to save the world from an extinction event.  What extinction event?  Well a roaming "kill all life on Earth" asteroid of course.  I've placed an ad for one of my favorite asteroid doomsday books in this post just in case someone is inspired to give it a read.

Mr. O'neill's article is interesting and a little bit funny.  So enjoy, if you like that kind of thing.

So cold

This winter has been sooooooo cold. So some people are saying we are entering a mini ice age. There is some data to support this theory. But given the recent brouhaha about some scientists exchanging email where they write of using a statistical “trick” in a chart illustrating a recent sharp warming trend it is hard to know what is really going on.

So what are we suppose to believe? Global warming or mini ice age?
