What I Learned Today

Today I only had time to write down things that deserve further investigation. Among them:

www.duckduckgo.com/, the ad-free and unbiased search engine.

IAC/InterActiveCorp —A company that apparently owns everything on the internet.

Mariana Trench —The deepest part of the ocean, almost 7 miles at the Challenger Deep.

sylvan— an association with the woodland, specifically living in the woods.

empyrean— belonging to or deriving from heaven.

I caught the late showing of Interstellar tonight. It was much better than the previews let on. The movie was mindblowing, go see it.

I will leave you with a poem that was central to the film:

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
