10th anniversary of Carl Sagan’s death

Posted on December 20, 2006 by probabilityZero

The truth may be puzzling. It may take some work to grapple with. It may be counterintuitive. It may contradict deeply held prejudices. It may not be consonant with what we desperately want to be true. But our preferences do not determine what’s true.
– “Wonder and Skepticism” by Carl Sagan

I'm a rather boring, geeky college student. Most of my time is spent at a computer, reading a book, or sitting in (mostly uninteresting) classes. My hobbies include reading, blogging, creating and running websites, creating amateur video games, arguing incessantly on discussion forums, and buying books on amazon.com because I'm too lazy to go to the library.

    interesting that giant like sagan rates “no response” on the 10th anniversary of his death. I rememeber reading his book “Contact” and found it clumsy…but a good story. Sorry Carl… I do miss his enthusiasm and his juicy speech impediment. He had a large intellect and was good at explaining things to mere mortals. But alas, he’s dead and forgotten in only 10 years. Proof to us all that we aren’t much but a bag sucking wind.
