There are a number of videos on science and philosphy I’d like to get back to posting on Merch. Here’s another from the late, great Carl Sagan. I’ve featured him before in a now-classic video, but it’s time for another visit with the man who brought science to popular culture.

Can anyone do it better? Very few people can match the passion and articulation of this great man who took 62 trips around the sun with us. What a shame to have lost such as this:

It’s been some weeks since my last post, but I’m still here. I began a new venture during this time and it has yielded dubious results so far. I am trying to earn money using Incentivized Freebie Websites, also known as IFWs.

Have you seen those ads that say “Click here for a Free Ipod!” and so on? Well, there’s a whole industry built up around websites which require users to complete one or more trial offers to be eligible to receive such rewards. I am involved in a site which has built a community around running these IFWs and employing referrals to get earn even larger returns.

So far I’ve only made a small amount of money and I can really see this as basically a transitional business until I can get to Florida. Right now I’d like to put aside enough to move to Ft. Lauderdale and get right into an apartment by the shore. I’m not sure that will be possible for some time.

I’d hoped to get out of Pennsylvania by the end of January, but I’ll be lingering until at least past the Super Bowl now. Unless I want to live in my car for a few weeks – which is sounding more and more appealing of late.
