Public records don't seem so effective after they've been confidential for 50 years

Public records are now available regarding a pilot who was ordered to take out a UFO during the Cold War era. Here's my theory on the UFO phenomena and the lack of mainstream publicity it has yet to receive.

There were a ton of UFO sightings during World War II and the Cold War era. High-ranking military officers and government figures weren't as aware of UFOs, so they probably thought that the sightings were the results of overactive imaginations of the general public. But, as airplanes became more common, particularly during those two times of constant air patrolling, UFO sightings became increasingly common among military officers. The officers were probably required on a case-by-case basis to deny the sightings to the public or to completely disregard it or suffer the consequences by the government and military.

Well, now, most of these pilots are older and don't have much to lose if they proclaim that what they saw or were told by the government was, in fact, true. The first military figure that comes to mind is Philip Corso. He published his accounts of what happened during the Roswell incident in a book titled "The Day After Roswell." The next year, he died. I really wouldn't be surprised to see more military officers confessing their encounters with UFOs during the mid-1900s.

I think the idea that "the public is ill prepared to come to the realization that we are not the only beings in the universe" is a gross assumption. And, even if we aren't prepared to know that there are other beings out there, I think being educated about it would be more effective than discovering the facts by an incident or incidents that would cause worldwide panic.

The results are in!

The facts, straight from a text message! How prophetical...

Ooops, my bad

I found out why the username and password prompt kept popping up; I'd linked to something in a private folder that I set up awhile ago. Ooops. It shouldn't show up anymore, now.

Not the appropriate way to go "green"

I was just on the bus a few minutes ago and saw about four or five cars that had been shot with green paintballs. I'd like to think that whoever did it would get caught, but even if they did, the kids are probably underage and would get let off pretty easily.

Maybe I should have gone to law school, after all. Harsh punishment for all!

Someone tell these other trees that it's Fall

Getting sick wasn't in my original plan for this weekend, but I guess I just gotta roll with it. I woke up with a massively sore throat this morning, which explains my recent desire to sleep at in opportune times, such as during meetings at work and while watching The Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC.

Well, I'm home from work now. It's time to Web dev while the missus is away. >:D

I neglected to mention that tinytube.net is back up. I think it came back on Friday or a little before then.

Maybe in the next week or so...

Sometime soon, I'd like to get the new site up on here. It's not going to be some huge, mind-bending change, but it should keep you entertained for the next year or so.

I'll explain more once it's live for y'all to see.

Posting is difficult while sleepy

I'm not sure what's going on over at tinytube.net, but it doesn't look too good.

For those who don't know what TinyTube.net is, it's a video portal that grabs the video content that you search for from various video-hosting sites. It's pretty cool; not only can you watch streaming videos, but you can also download videos that are formatted for mobile phones.

Unfortunately, it's been down since at least Friday, Septmeber 26.

Microsoft provides incentives for people to use Live Search

It's called SearchPerks!, and it's actually a pretty neat idea. You add the toolbar to Internet Explorer, and it clocks your searches made through most different types of Live Search searches, through Live Search, the MSN home page portal, and other search tools. It claims to not track the words you use or the sites you go to, but I'm sure it's stored away in some server somewhere. In reality, though, whatever you search for and whatever sites you visit are logged, so don't let that deter you from participating in this program.

So that people don't abuse this program, the limit for ticket earnings is 25 a day. You get 500 tickets immediately just for signing up. Here's the list of prizes that are redeemable after April 15, 2009. There are some pretty neat prizes, but I plan on choosing the last option at the bottom: Give Tickets to a Preferred Charity.
