Went to see Oppenheimer yesterday with our son Justin at the IMAX. BTW. Did Jobs get "i" from IMAX? The movie is a must see. Anyway, on the way back Justin blew my mind. He turned me on. In his words and his way he showed me that
I wrote this in 2013 on heyheyrenee. I wouldn't change a word. Here's a great piece by Kevin Drum on Mother Jones on what the not too distant future will look like, technology wise. It's about what technology will do, the jobs that'

The Western United States is on fire and the hottest months still ahead. Here in the mountains of CO it hasn't rained in 2 years. Snowpack is down 40% over the past 60 years. We're one lightening strike from our homes burning to the ground. The
