I just recently found out about the steamboat Arabia that sank in 1856 and was found in 1988 in Kansas City. Buried 1/2 mile from where the river is now, it and it’s cargo were remarkably wellpreserved.

Guesses on what we’re building?

Been thinking about Dunbar’s Number and also the example Milton Friedman gave demonstrating that no one person knows how to make a pencil, and that is a relatively simple thing. Mostly thinking about how it all ties into freedom, independence, and what degree of interdependence is necessary. Does there exist some level of technology that is ideal for human wellbeing, or is the form of the technology more important than the complexity? I think the latter is probably the case.

This was pretty good.

I wonder what percentage of the population actually observes the Sabbath. Do you? I’m going to this week. I’ve been doing my own thing for far too long.

My wife has this thing she’s working on…I guess dog jousting?

Had a fun daddy/daughter outing this evening. It’s good getting to know your children, seeing bits and pieces of yourself, along with all of the special differences. I recently watched an hour and a half long video of a guy attempting to make ethanol from air. It took him a couple of years and he was marginally successful. When I compare that “simple” task to the creation of a child…I’m just in awe and wonder of the magic of it all. Truly, no flesh will be able to boast before God.
