		<description><![CDATA[Darwinism is, as we know, an elegant and comprehensive model for the development of life. Lately I&#8217;ve started thinking about how this model can be applied to other things. Technology, for example, seems to evolve much like species do. There are clear stages of development, and a particular device (species of technology) tends to &#8216;improve&#8217; [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=alertedeye.wordpress.com&amp;blog=310003&amp;post=416&amp;subd=alertedeye&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve officially finished my first semester of Graduate School. You may have noticed I haven&#8217;t updated this blog as regularly as I used to. This is because I&#8217;m a lot busier now than I was during the summer.

		<description><![CDATA[I suppose that human beings measure everything relative to themselves. It&#8217;s probably a natural tendency. After all, how else are we to make sense of the world? We can only make sense of the things around us by internalizing them, and knowing them in relation to ourselves. Everything around us is personified.

Trees don&#8217;t walk or think. They just stand there. The reasons, of course, are internal. Trees are what we call &#8220;organic&#8221; &#8211; that is [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=alertedeye.wordpress.com&amp;blog=310003&amp;post=403&amp;subd=alertedeye&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Like most dogs, Laika never knew her mother. She had no memory of being born in a backalley in Moscow in 1954. All Laika knew was that this was the life she was given, and the only one she would ever have; the life of a stray dog. The winters were cold in Russia, and Laika sometimes [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=alertedeye.wordpress.com&amp;blog=310003&amp;post=383&amp;subd=alertedeye&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This video is about tiny ecosystems that develop in the deep ocean. Rather than relying on sunlight for energy, these ecosystems get their energy from geohydrothermal vents. Scientists only recently discovered that certain specialized species&#8217; of bacteria are adapted to the incredible thermal conditions. I think this is a good example of how many different kinds of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=alertedeye.wordpress.com&amp;blog=310003&amp;post=380&amp;subd=alertedeye&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Logic. It&#8217;s a beautiful thing. Logic tells us that if you add one apple to another apple, you must therefore end up with two apples. Logic tells us that if A is bigger than B, then B must be smaller than A. Logic is absolute; utterly undeniable. Technically speaking, if you refute logical assertions, then [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=alertedeye.wordpress.com&amp;blog=310003&amp;post=379&amp;subd=alertedeye&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m going to try to make a point of posting videos about nature. I&#8217;ve become a big fan of the BBC&#8217;s Sir David Attenborough and his long list of fascinating nature programs. I&#8217;ve spent hours checking out these videos, and they always renew my interest in the natural world. I&#8217;ll try to include a little blurb [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=alertedeye.wordpress.com&amp;blog=310003&amp;post=378&amp;subd=alertedeye&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Human arrogance. It&#8217;s something I&#8217;ve been thinking about a lot lately. I think that we, even as individuals, grow with a number of assumptions about the world that are simply false. In particular, it seems to me like we all share an over-simplistic view of our planet and the natural world. I suppose that we [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=alertedeye.wordpress.com&amp;blog=310003&amp;post=363&amp;subd=alertedeye&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve always thought that you can explain a lot about a person&#8217;s character if you knew who they were in high-school. As the years roll by, I become increasingly aware of how the high-school system has effectively defined, sorted and consolidated people&#8217;s social roles. Of course, I&#8217;m not talking about academics. I&#8217;m talking about the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=alertedeye.wordpress.com&amp;blog=310003&amp;post=377&amp;subd=alertedeye&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
