Welcome, electronic traveler!

What I plan to do: provide some commentary on interesting news items, as often as possible. Most will be news about technology, major scientific breakthroughs, or political issues from all around the world.

What I don't plan to do: be biased, prejudiced, focus on only one subject.

What I want: if you have something to say, please do! Comment the articles, email me if you have any observations, provide feedback! If you like something, tell all your friends! If you don't like something, tell ME!

And is it secure? Of course it's not!
What can I do with it? Anything, of course!
