Kittens: To burn or not to burn.

The Washington State Grand Coulee Dam is one serious dam. It makes electricity. Do you get that? It makes power.

You know what also makes power? Or could make power? Kittens. We could make a machine to process kittens into redeemable energy. Like electricity. I mean think about it – kittens walk around our town at night, consume things like mice and warm milk – things we'll never eat so why don't we take them and harvest all that lost energy? Why not?

Same thing should be done with stray dogs. And racoons. And wild hamsters. There is all this energy out there that is sitting around in wild animals and bugs that should be translated to be able to power my iPhone. That is what I want and what I think society should get.

I guess kittens do contribute things to society. Like youtube videos. There's plenty of those and they certainly are helpful for mankind. I don't think there's any debate about this. So if we're not going to burn kittens for energy, at least we can use their stupidness to entertain us.

Lead me to the robots please.

Keeping track of things can be hard. For some things that's fine, I mean losing track of a remote control, or a pen you like, that isn't that bad. But when you pay thousands of dollars for something that is different. It is a game-changer. Particularly when it is for work.

Now days technology and costs have finally hit a point where it is practical for an increasing number of companies to implement software/hardware packages for tracking equipment. This is the kind of technology that I feel like should have always been present. The ability to know what is where and who is doing what. It is like a SIMS level of perspective. The more information you have, the more capable you are to optimize things and I love the concept of optimizing. It is beautiful.

As companies are able to put more actual numbers to things businesses can become more science and less art. I certainly think art will be a factor for some time, but as we implement more and more tools we will be able to see more and more of the science behind things. We'll be able to make things numerically based instead of feeling based.

It's progress. Soon we'll only need robots.
