Peace

Well, I tried revamping the blog.  I'm not sure how I feel about it yet.  I like the potential, but I really wish I knew how to add an archive to this type of template.  It's all a learning process, though.

Speaking of learning, I'd have to say it's a hobby of mine.  I love finding out new things.  For instance, I found a TEDTalk from Steve Pinker about how there's evidence that we are living in the most peaceful time in our history.  That's a wonderful thing to consider.  Maybe we are making progress, not just as individuals, but as a species.  It's an exciting concept.  I'm gonna try adding the link again (last time I attempted to add one it did not upload as a link properly).

This is what I love about the internet and why I'm so happy with all the time I now have to utilize it: there is a vast sea of knowledge out there.  I wouldn't be surprised if universities were rendered useless, if not redundant, in my life time.
