The Global Futurist Returns - Bearing Gifts!

I've just returned from my mind-regenerating hiatus from The Global Futurist, and I've come in peace. I also come bearing gifts (not actually "gifts," but more of a single "gift").

At the very, very bottom of my future posts, even this one (which hardly qualifies as a post) a new resource will be featured in the form of a button. This particular button appears courtesy of WebCrawler, a provider of excellent web tools, web news, a regular newsletter and a wonderful alternative search engine.

The button looks like this:



Thank you for giving me a bit of a vacation, for your patience, and for honoring me by faithfully reading my posts and sharing them with your many networks of social media contacts. You'll be seeing quite a few more posts straight away, and on an ever-widening variety of subjects.

That is not a prediction. That is a certainty.

Time is Even Shorter...Damn.

Dear Friends:

24 hours is too short a day for me to accomplish all that I need to do. And I'll bet my pet turtle ("Lieberman") that you have felt or expressed the same sentiment many times.

Apparently, NASA physicists, as well as some geologists and other people with -ologists at the end of their professional titles are theorizing that the recent earthquake in Chile might have been severe enough to alter the Earth's magnetic polarity and rotational cycle. What this means is that the length of days may now become even shorter. Procrastinators be warned (eventually).

You might find the following to be interesting reading, courtesy of Yahoo! News:

I will let you in on a secret. Even if the days are shorter and my lifespan in terms of time (which has not, in itself, changed) remains as it is, I may actually live a few days longer now, at least as days are measured. And even more interesting is that this whole damn thing does absolutely nothing in terms of the infinitessimally small duration of the present, as a moment in time -- the present moment is submicroscopically fleeting, as it falls into the past and we are projected instantly into the future.

If you think of a way to suspend time and permit me to actually savor the present moment at greater length, please ring me up.

Faithfully,

Douglas Castle
