Strange Attractors.

These concepts have been bubbling in my mind for a while now. There is, in mathematical topography, a wonderful thing called Attractors. If my understanding of them is correct, then Attractors are individual points that, given time, will come together to create a set. In time, this set may break and spin apart, but in time, the individual points will come back together again.

Okay... I will leave this babbling where it is. It's 3 am and I suspect I should go to sleep. I can't promise that I won't write more on this later. But I can promise that I might.

To those in Kansas, but coming to Tulsa

BE Very Very careful! The storm has stalled over Tulsa for the last x number of hours. Even though the temperature remains above freezing, there are still alot of crazy folks driving on it. The accumulation has reached above 3 inches by my magic ruler dipped into the snow ontop of my van.
So... Just be careful!

Earth Hour.

I think it is so incredibly neat that all over the world, from 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm, local time to whomever, companies and individuals are turning off their lights or dimming non-essential ones. Granted the Eiffel Tower was dark for only 5 minutes for safety reasons, but still.... think about it!

I have no idea if it will save that much energy, and I don't really care. Humans are wasteful animals. What I like is the idea of the sharing, of the caring, of the joining. For one hour, as it spreads across the world, millions, and perhaps billions, of individuals have made a conscious choice to be a part of one very large SuperSet.

How cool is that?
