Random Thought #49

This is such a great video. I had to share it. The response from the crowd proves that deep down inside each of us, there is a loving, caring, child of God who loves his brothers and sisters and would like to help when others are down.

Random Thought #48

So I think you guys deserve a reason for why I haven't been posting much here lately. I've been tied up with a lot of reading. I just finished Nibley's book called Abraham in Egypt and have recently started reading President Monson's biography. I've also been exploring a number of other topics. Here's a little preview of my "to read list"

Biomimicry by Janine Benyus
The Golden Ratio by Mario Livio
QED (Quantum Electrodynamics) by Richard Feynman
Islands of Genius (forget the author but it's about savants)
Physics of the Future by Michio Kaku
the rest of the CWHN series (collected works of hugh nibley)
All seven volumes of the official History of the Church compiled by B.H. Roberts
All content from BYU's Maxwell Institute
The Art of War by Sun Tzu
The classics from "classics.mit.edu"

just to name a few. I've also become interested lately in a number of other topics such as astronomy, proteomics, biomimetics, wireless data transfer over the spectrum of visible light versus radio waves (just saw a cool demonstration on that today) and my ultimate goal of writing a book about reconciling religion, science, and archaeology. I'm sure more stuff will pop up as I read but this is a good start don't you think?

Oh, I'd also like to learn/teach myself how to play the banjo. It seems like a lot of fun
