A better social commentary on geeks and regret than the IT Crowd or Big Bang Theory will ever be. kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) Cognitive Surplus Mon, 05 Nov 2012 00:41:57 -0900 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=4365&msg_id=4725 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=4365&msg_id=4550 Huh... if it was just going back, and not necessarily changing anything in the timeline? "Time tourism," we'll call it? In trying to weigh potential events, I keep coming to the conclusion that being witness to historical, anthropological, geological, etc. -type events on Earth would not be nearly valuable enough. For most events on Earth, we have, or might have, the scientific methods to deduce the truth about an event that otherwise currently remains a mystery. If we are given the ability to time travel but have to choose 1 time to travel to, I'd try to set my sights for something that is impossible for us to know. Something, perhaps, that humans as a species could not realistically witness. I'd probably aim for something cosmological: the birth of a star, or a supernova. Maybe witnessing the creation of the Chicxulub crater (or any extinction event). If those weren't possible... hmm. I don't know. Maybe I'd like to talk to this guy. kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) Cognitive Surplus Sun, 26 Aug 2012 17:33:16 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=4365&msg_id=4550 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=4365&msg_id=4548 If you could actually travel back in time, what era would you go to? I'm having difficulty deciding... it would definitely change depending on whether or not I was female and whether or not my location changed... semblance@idkfa.com (semblance) Cognitive Surplus Sun, 26 Aug 2012 05:36:45 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=4365&msg_id=4548 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=4365&msg_id=4497 I shall endeavor to see it. kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) Cognitive Surplus Sat, 04 Aug 2012 17:18:20 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=4365&msg_id=4497 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=4365&msg_id=4495 For the record, this movie was fantastic. Hilarious, poignant, sad, and awesome. The actors really carried the story and made it touching and funny at the same time. conrad@idkfa.com (conrad) Cognitive Surplus Fri, 03 Aug 2012 15:53:39 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=4365&msg_id=4495 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=4365&msg_id=4367 At my next job interview I'll have to work hard not to answer "traveling back in time" when they ask me where I want to be in five years. kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) Cognitive Surplus Tue, 15 May 2012 01:14:24 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=4365&msg_id=4367 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=4365&msg_id=4366 I teared up just watching that trailer. WHY DO THEY DO THIS?! Why must they speak directly into my heart?! That, or there are some weird hormones in my last batch of dried cherries. conrad@idkfa.com (conrad) Cognitive Surplus Tue, 15 May 2012 00:15:28 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=4365&msg_id=4366 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=4365&msg_id=4365 Safety Not Guaranteed kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) Cognitive Surplus Mon, 14 May 2012 22:35:22 -0800 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=4365&msg_id=4365
