Sitting in Ringo Starr Concert

I'm sitting in the a Ringo Starr concert in Bend, OR and realizing that the Boomer's greatest achievement is not completely reversing six thousand years worth of advancement.

Way to go guys.  You barely didn't do it!

Canceling my iContact account

All these people who talk about how hard it is to cancel their iContact accounts... I don't know what they are talking about.

My cancellation was a two-step process:

1. Send them an email informing them that I wish to cancel.
2. Confirming that I wanted to cancel when they asked if I was sure.

My total investment in the entire process was less than forty-five seconds.  The cycle time on the process was about ten hours, most of which were during the night-time.

Maybe there are some circumstances where it is hard to cancel with them but I certainly didn't experience it.  All in all, I was happy with the service they provided.  I would recommend it to anyone who needs to build and maintain that kind of mailing list.

The Fermi Paradox is ridiculous

If it serves a purpose, it is just to illustrate Man's hubris.  There are so many fallacious assumptions and assertions in every version of it that I've heard.  It's not even worth debunking.

I know the Fermi Paradox is all the rage, right now.  Please, people, try to retain a little intellectual dignity when evaluating this kind of garbage.
