Strange Universe: August 14, 2011 : SETI
http://ihatetheverse.blogspot.com/2011/08/august-14-2011-seti.html
Sunday, August 14, 2011. August 14, 2011 : SETI. There are great challenges in searching across the cosmos for a first transmission that could be characterized as intelligent, since its direction, spectrum and method of communication are all unknown beforehand. SETI projects necessarily make assumptions to narrow the search, the foremost being that electromagnetic radiation would be a medium of communication for advanced extraterrestrial life.

Strange Waters: June 2012
http://ihatetheocean.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 10, 2012. So you've certainly noticed by now that I haven't posted anything in nearly a year. That's probably because I've completely forgotten about these blogs. I should have posted a note like this earlier, but I kept putting it off. I'm no longer updating the blogs. I won't be even in the foreseeable future. I may come back to it. I may not. I did enjoy doing it for a while, but then it started to feel like a second job and drained the fun out of it. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
