Hey! Welcome to the Blog of Eternal Damnation!
Here's where you will see all the latest crap
about the Web's hottest Speculative Fiction ezine,
Bambi's Eschatological Underpinnings.
And every now and again, just for sport, we just might
include a little bit about Fiction Inferno:
the Literary Magazine that Burns You Up.

Solution to Fermi's Paradox
The solution to Fermi's paradox is kind of obvious, really, if you think about it in the right way. First, in case you're unfamiliar, Fermi's Paradox is:
The age of the universe and its vast number of stars suggest that if the Earth is typical, extraterrestrial life should be common. In an informal discussion in 1950, the physicist Enrico Fermi questioned why, if a multitude of advanced extraterrestrial civilizations exist in the Milky Way galaxy, evidence such as spacecraft or probes are not seen.
In short, where the hell are they?
The answer is this: Any civilization with sufficient curiosity to wonder what the universe holds, and sufficient creativity to go about the process of finding out will inevitably discover than it is far simpler, easier, and cheaper to model your own virtual universe that it is to travel the physical one. This notion will henceforth be known as Max's Axiom.
Given the continuing relevance of Moore's Law (that computational power will double every two years or so) and the emergence of highly sophisticated modeling technologies, and the increasing popularity of virtual environments, I suppose that it is only a matter of time--and short time at that--before we ourselves have engineered a virtual universe of our own. A universe where we can all be immortal, powerful, fully realized creatures armed with full knowledge and understanding of our creation. That is, if we are not already in such a universe of someone else's manufacture.

As one of the hordes of newly unemployed, I have to tell you this:
It Sucks.
No, really.
It really, really sucks.

Still working on the house. Home decor is not my strong suit.... but luckily my wife is good at it. The kitchen is 90% done and we are both loving it. The garage is 75% there. The sunroom is in process, the bathroom up next, and the master bedroom not far behind. Not to mention a few random projects like tiling the hearth, painting the trim, and completely remodeling the front yard landscaping. Ack.

This business web development and search marketing job is wild. In the three months I've been here, we've signed about a dozen new clients, and four of them for multiple projects. If it keeps going like this, I'm gonna sell the house, turn into a big hippie and play hacky sack all day.

There was a time when you could count on the front of your boat staying attached to the back of your boat. If only I knew where to find some nice stainless steel fasteners.... Something in a nice hex head, perhaps.
