"It was a mistake. I know it was a mistake. But there are certain things in life where you know it's a mistake but you don't really know it's a mistake because the only way to really know it's a mistake is to make the mistake, and look back, and say, "Yep. That was a mistake." So, really, the bigger mistake would have been to not make the mistake, because then you go your whole life not really knowing if something was a mistake or not."

12 years after Titanic James Cameron is betting he can change forever the way you watch movies In 1977, a 22-year-old truck driver named James Cameron went to see Star Wars with a pal. His friend enjoyed the movie; Cameron walked out of the theater ready to punch something. He was a college dropout and spent his days delivering school lunches in Southern California’s Orange County. But in his free time, he painted tiny models and wrote science fiction — stories set in galaxies far, far away. Now he was facing a deflating reality: He had been daydreaming about the kind of world that Lucas had just brought to life. Star Wars was the film he should have made. It got him so angry he bought himself some cheap movie equipment and started trying to figure out how Lucas had done it. He infuriated his wife by setting up blindingly bright lights in the living room and rolling a camera along a track to practice dolly shots. He spent days scouring the USC library,

There are many ways to define our fragile existence. And many ways to give it meaning. But it is our memories that shape its purpose and give it context. A private assortment of images, fears, loves, regrets. We alone choose the importance of each. Building our own unique histories one memory at a time. Hoping that ones we choose to remember don't betray or trap us. For it is the cruel irony of life that we are destined to hold the dark with the light. The good with the evil. This is what separates us, makes us human. And in the end, what we must fight to hold on to.

SAY not the struggle naught availeth,    The labour and the wounds are vain, The enemy faints not, nor faileth,    And as things have been they remain. If hopes were dupes, fears may be liars;    It may be, in yon smoke conceal'd, Your comrades chase e'en now the fliers,    And, but for you, possess the field. For while the tired waves, vainly breaking,    Seem here no painful inch to gain, Far back, through creeks and inlets making,    Comes silent, flooding in, the main. And not by eastern windows only,    When daylight comes, comes in the light; In front the sun climbs slow, how slowly!    But westward, look, the land is bright! ~ A Poem by Arthur Hugh Clough Here's my paraphrase, for what it's worth. Don’t say that the long struggle is of no avail; don’t say that all your efforts, and all the injuries you’ve sustained, were in vain. Don’

Today I introduce to you one of the most powerful science presentations I have ever heard.    I listened to Hugh Ross give this presentation on a tape while I was driving down Interstate 88 in Chicago one night.  As I listened, light bulbs were firing off in my head all over the place.    So what's the big deal about this?  Here's what you'll discover as you listen: -The delicate balance of vast forces in the universe, necessary for life to exist -Why planet earth is so extremely special in its ability to support life -The very measurement of the entire universe in all its magnificence, made possible only within the last 15 years -A fascinating place where science and theology come together in perfect agreement    Now there's one more thing I want to tell you about this talk: It was recorded in 1994.    Now why would I give you something called "New Scientific Evidence" if it's more than 15 years old?

See this blog I just posted, that you're reading right now?  This blog post is proof of the existence of God.    Yeah, I know, that sounds crazy.  But I'm not asking you to believe anything just yet, until you see the evidence for yourself.  All I ask is that you refrain from disbelieving while I show you my proof.  It only takes a minute to convey, but it speaks to one of the most important questions of all time.    So how is this post proof of the existence of God?    This post you're reading contains letters, words and sentences.  It contains a message that means something. As long as you can read English, you can understand what I'm saying.     You can do all kinds of things with this blog.  You can read it on your computer screen.  You can print it out on your printer.  You can read it out loud to a friend who's in the same room as you are.  You can call your friend and read it to her over the telephone.  You can save it as a Microsoft

In your kitchen cabinet, you've probably got a spray bottle with an adjustable nozzle.  If you twist the nozzle one way, it sprays a fine mist into the air.  You twist the nozzle the other way, it squirts a jet of water in a straight line.  You turn that nozzle to the exact position you want so you can wash a mirror, clean up a spill, or whatever.    If the universe had expanded a little faster, the matter would have sprayed out into space like fine mist from a water bottle - so fast that a gazillion particles of dust would speed into infinity and never even form a single star.    If the universe had expanded just a little slower, the material would have dribbled out like big drops of water, then collapsed back where it came from by the force of gravity.    A little too fast, and you get a meaningless spray of fine dust.  A little too slow, and the whole universe collapses back into one

The Big Bang theory was totally rejected at first. But those who supported it had predicted that the ignition of the Big Bang would have left behind a sort of 'hot flash' of radiation.    If a big black wood stove produces heat that you can feel, then in a similar manner, the Big Bang should produce its own kind of heat that would echo throughout the universe.    In 1965, without looking for it, two physicists at Bell Labs in New Jersey found it.  At first, Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson were bothered because, while trying to refine the world's most sensitive radio antenna, they couldn't eliminate a bothersome source of noise. They picked up this noise everywhere they pointed the antenna.    At first they thought it was bird droppings.  The antenna was so sensitive it could pick up the heat of bird droppings (which certainly are warm when they're brand new) but even after cleaning it off, they still picked up

100 years ago, Albert Einstein published three papers that rocked the world.  These papers proved the existence of the atom, introduced the theory of relativity, and described quantum mechanics.    Pretty good debut for a 26 year old scientist, huh?    His equations for relativity indicated that the universe was expanding.  This bothered him, because if it was expanding, it must have had a beginning and a beginner. Since neither of these appealed to him, Einstein introduced a 'fudge factor' that ensured a 'steady state' universe, one that had no beginning or end.    But in 1929, Edwin Hubble showed that the furthest galaxies were fleeing away from each other, just as the Big Bang model predicted.  So in 1931, Einstein embraced what would later be known as the Big Bang theory, saying, "This is the most beautiful and satisfactory explanation of creation to which I have ever listened."  He referred to the

Auto Tech 2010 Mercedes S400 BlueHybrid The hybrid of the future The Mercedes S400 BlueHybrid is the world’s first production car to shift from the nickel-metal-hydride batteries in today’s hybrids to a lighter, more-powerful lithium-ion battery designed expressly for an automobile. The results are impressive. The large, luxurious flagship sedan returned 29 highway mpg during our testing—a 30 percent gain over the V8-powered S550 version—and 21 mpg in the city. It achieves these numbers by combining a downsized V6 with a 20-horsepower electric motor and a 0.9-kilowatt-hour li-ion battery for a total of 295 horsepower, giving it a 0–60 time of 5.4 seconds. Unlike with most hybrids, the compact battery doesn’t hog trunk space (it fits under the hood), saddle the car with excess weight, or add several thousand dollars to the price. Starting at $88,825, the Mercedes actually costs $3,650 less than the V8 version. But the S400 is only the beginning. Mercedes says the entire S-Class

Which technologies will finally free us from oil? The Future of Energy This December, when representatives from 170 countries meet at the United Nations climate talks in Copenhagen to replace the expiring Kyoto climate treaty, the smart money predicts unprecedented collaboration. American political change coupled with spiking carbon dioxide levels could inspire a communal project on a scale not seen since World War II. A consensus, backed by science, is emerging among the international community that by 2050 we need to reduce emissions of C02, methane and other greenhouse gases to approximately 80 percent lower than they were in 1990. It will mean a wholesale reinvention of the global energy economy; anything less could result in catastrophe. Here's how we'll get there. To reach this goal will require a two-pronged approach. First, we have to get serious about the small stuff: better insulation, tossing the incandescent light bulbs and, yes, inflating our tires all th
