The latest blog post form Scott Adams (creator of Dilbert comic strip)
Can Humans and Computers Mate and Have Babies?

Can humans have sex with machines and create digital offspring? Almost. Here are the components you need:

....

Humans are the result of more than DNA. We become who we are through experience as well. The human-computer offspring would be no different.

I don't think Australia suffers from Siberian winters like both Britain and Scandinavia do now:)

What a way to go...
Founder of Tower Records dies at 92 while drinking whiskey and watching the Oscars
Talk about the perfect coda: Tower Records founder Russ Solomon died with a drink in his hand and a smart-aleck remark on his lips.

The swashbuckling, visionary entrepreneur who built a global retailing empire and the most famous company in Sacramento history died Sunday night of an apparent heart attack. He was 92.

Parts of San Francisco are sinking faster than the sea is rising.

Rising seas aren’t the only problem facing low-lying coastal areas. Many of these areas are also sinking, vastly increasing the risk of flooding.

In the San Francisco Bay area, sea level rise alone could inundate an area of between 50 and 410 square kilometres by 2100, depending both on how much action is taken to limit further global warming and how fast the polar ice sheets melt. But when land subsidence is also taken into account, the area vulnerable to flooding during high tides and storm surges rises to between 130 and 430 square kilometres.

That’s the conclusion of Manoochehr Shirzaei at Arizona State University and Roland Bürgmann at the University of California, Berkeley. They used satellite data from 2007 to 2010 to work out how land heights changed in the Bay area at this time.

A few areas such as Santa Clara Valley were rising slightly, likely because of increased groundwater storage. But most areas were sinking slightly, by 1 or 2 millimetres per year.
Cheers.

Galveston teen receives sweet surprise after helping elderly customer at Waffle House

It was a moment captured in time that's also captured the attention of thousands on Facebook. And that sweet gesture was rewarded with a sweet surprise.

LA MARQUE, Texas - Her kind gesture went viral on social media, and on Thursday, it was returned with a big surprise for one Galveston teen caught in the act cutting up food for her customer at a Waffle House in La Marque.

Hoping to save up for college, 18-year-old Evoni Williams tallies her tips at the end of every shift.

... A moment now captured in time also captured the attention of thousands on Facebook.

The sweet gesture was rewarded Thursday with a sweet surprise by the City of La Marque.

“I got my own day," Williams said.

She also received a $16,000 scholarship donated by Texas Southern University -- a life-changing gift for a girl who still says she did nothing special.
