Get Over Yourself (Pale Blue Film)

-
(Reposted with repaired video link from 3:02 AM, June 05, 2007) Carl Sagan’s words. Clips from 64 films. Music by Mogwai. And a single photo of a “pale blue dot” taken by Voyager I from 4 billion miles away. These things combine to provide us with perhaps more perspective than we can possibly bear.

Thank you Pale Blue Films.

So Sagan's conclusion after all that is : "we are a mere pale blue dot so we should be kindly rather cruel to one another". Why? What does it matter either way if we are as insignificant in the universe as he struggles to paint us ? Kindness or cruelty is the same if we are of no insignificance.

I think you are missing the point. Perhaps he said so much that you lost sight of his central point. I will simplify for you. The key phrase is

"The folly of human conceit."

Do you get it now?

There is no god. Your world is not blessed.

But so many "god fearing" people make the very telling mistake of thinking "if there is no god then why be kind?"

While scientists/atheists have been kind their entire lives without any promise of reward or fear of punishment.

OMG, NYC MTA on PSP

src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3i2y4sEQpRI"> This one seems kind of obvious, but hey I haven't seen one yet. I also couldn't find one with google. So here ya go. A NYC Subway Map for the SONY Playstation Portable (PSP.) Fun, safe and crystal clear. (in fact you could even take the resolution down to save precious memory stick space.) WARNING: I am fairly sure I should say you may not use this map. It is not to be downloaded by clicking Here and dropped into a PHOTO folder on your PSP. It should also not be viewed using the magnifying glass (found when you push the triangle button.) And finally you should not use the Joystick to navigate thru the map. Ok, that should satisfy the boys in legal. Enjoy. UPDATE: This map was obtained from www.nycsubway.org and was designed by Michael Calcagno.

Faxing from your iPhone is now as easy as 1, 2, 3! A little company called eFax.com exists to help you receive and send faxes from your computer/laptop. The beauty is they have a way to send faxes from your iPhone as well. And it comes in a FREE 30 day trial. 1. Create the text you wish to fax in an email 2. Send that email to the phone number you wish to fax plus @efaxsend.com (ex. 555-555-1212@efaxsend.com) Hmm, I guess its actually as easy as 1, 2. Let me also say that I know damn well this will work on any phone/PDA that can send an email, but I’ll be damned if I am gonna give up all that tasty iPhone traffic. On a side note, a nifty little fax prank that GNF does not condone goes as follows. Get yourself a sheet of black paper. Fax it to someone. They run out of ink. Mean right? So do not do it! On an entirely different subject, if you are interested in Scientology you can contact them at this number (727) 441-8849. Oh, wait never mind. That's their fax number.
