a new dawn

with little or no thought, i've decided to quit my job. i'm going to become an amateur moon scientist, looking at images of the moon on Moon Zoo. they are looking for help due to the overwhelming amount of data streaming in. yes, as is typically the case in science, way too much data is generated with way too little information, understanding, and ultimately knowledge created.

simultaneously i'm going to join the hackathon for humanity, yes there really is such a thing. and commit "random hacks of kindness". hacking for kindness??? isn't that the antithesis of hacking? isn't the point of hacking to cause electronic anarchy. software subterfuge? hard drive explosions?

yes, when bad is good, we truly are in the midst of societal degeneration.
