Life on Mars and now we’re 3D Holograms

Where the hell have I been? I slacked on blogging while working on a big Flex project for the past few months that gobbled up all conceivable time, and when I return, scientists say they may have evidence of life on Mars and we’re all a great big 3D hologram. Or so they suspect.

They’re thinking the existence of methane gas on Mars suggests there are little microscopic martians swimming around under the dirt and farting up a storm. If they do discover life, it would put an end to the age-old question of whether there’s other intelligent life in the Universe. The answer would be yes and no. Although you might think microscopic critters swimming around farting aren’t altogether brilliant, I’ll bet they can give many people here on Earth a run for their money. I wonder if the martians decided to try and make contact now because they saw some methane plumes from Earth. I just recently adopted a lost Beagle wandering around the front yard and I can tell you, with his gas problems, if there is life on Mars, I’m sure they can see his plumes before his doggy rescue.

In other events, flight 1549 hit a flock of Canadian geese and pilot Chesley B. “Sully” Sullenberger did an awesome job of saving many lives, not just the crew and passengers, but how many people in NY/NJ should the plane have crashed in the city. Seriously, I freaked for a moment when I saw a plane went down in the Hudson River, but was elated no one was killed. It stayed afloat in the Hudson for 30 minutes after the emergency landing, but my guess is all the discarded tires in the river kept it from sinking.

Sadly, I’m sure Mayor Bloomberg of NYC will find a way to slap a fine on the pilot for leaving the plane parked near a yellow curb.

So hopefully 2009 will be a bright new year, that is of course if we survive the Great Depression II. But even if the worst happens, the true optomist would think of it this way; at least we’ll have stories to tell our grandkids about creating Flex apps with pencil and paper and trading it for a basket of eggs.

I’m going to try to get back to blogging more, and not disapear into a black hole of Flex work entirely in 2009. But with the crunch today, it’s work before pleasure. I will have much more helpful things coming very soon, as opposed to my breakdown of the news ~ ha! Happy Belated New Year Flexers and RIA deviants alike!
