I will be stuck in front of the TV tonight, it being a Monday. The Voice (battle rounds begin), Sleepy Hollow (eye candy) and The Blacklist (just plain Spader fun).
It's a lovely dark rainy day wasted on a Monday. Bah. I'm making SOS for Steve tonight -- I'm not sure what I'll have but something "cold weather."
We watched The Walking Dead last night. I know they have to have the zombie gore for their younger demographic but I haven't built up my callous to it yet. There were some yuckies. Comic Book Men was premiering last night too but at 10. I didn't stay up for it.
I'm just about done with the Elizabeth Moon book. I have a nonfiction digital loan out that sounds interesting: PHYSICS OF THE FUTURE: How Science Will Shape Human Destiny and Our Daily Lives by the Year 2100 by Michio Kaku. Here is a description:
Space elevators. Internet-enabled contact lenses. Cars that fly by floating on magnetic fields. This is the stuff of science fiction—it’s also daily life in the year 2100. Renowned theoretical physicist Michio Kaku details the developments in computer technology, artificial intelligence, medicine, space travel, and more, that are poised to happen over the next hundred years. He also considers how these inventions will affect the world economy, addressing the key questions: Who will have jobs? Which nations will prosper? Kaku interviews three hundred of the world’s top scientists—working in their labs on astonishing prototypes. He also takes into account the rigorous scientific principles that regulate how quickly, how safely, and how far technologies can advance. In Physics of the Future, Kaku forecasts a century of earthshaking advances in technology that could make even the last centuries’ leaps and bounds seem insignificant.
It was published in 2011 and has 416 pages.
I also have a hold from the library that I will peruse later. I'll let you know if it's a keeper or not.
Much love,
PK the Bookeemonster
