An article I was reading about possible other forms of life beyond the standard DNA/RNA/what have you based paradigm brought up an interesting point. If, say, something of electromagnetic energy could achieve some level of sentience, what kind of perception of time would it have? Would its perception of time be something that speeds up and slows down even more than our 'time flies when you're having fun' shift in perception? Which leads to other interesting questions - how do really different not-so-hypothetical beings, such as hummingbirds that have much faster metabolism, perceive time? Or, perhaps even more interestingly, do they percieve time the same way we do, and whether it appears fast or slow is purely a mental thing?

Rocket Blasters is a fun show. It's like a really sped up, and in some important ways simpler version of what my brother did in the Mojave and Black Rock for Raytheon, but is especially distinguished as a reality show in my mind because everyone is nice and encouraging to each other, as crazy as that sounds. And they strap rockets to Mini's.

That Ring Is So You - except for the jaw biopsy part, I have to admit I'm intrigued

Singin' in the Rain - kind of like that old Nike commercial with the pretty European breakdancer, except with lower tech, of sorts
