What about videos?
Posted by: | CommentsI think making videos for daily common sense would be the best thing to do to bring the site to the next level. I know you guys who read the blog “daily” (not so daily because I don’t post daily) aren’t big commentators, but what do you guys think?
I think videos are so much more appropriate for this type of blog…Let me know!
Have you been abducted by an alien?
Posted by: | CommentsI just came across this totally insane post on a forum:
Have you been abducted by an alien? If so, have you ever invoked the name “Jesus” in an attempt to frighten off the alien? What were the results?
What’s really interesting here is these juicy answers: Read More→
200,000 already!
Posted by: | CommentsWow, this really is incredible and I’m proud to announce that Daily Common Sense is already reaching 200,000 visits for this year. I launched the blog in January this year and didn’t expect to have so many visitors at the end of my first year.
I would like to thank every single one of you for taking part in discussions and making DCS a success. Now I know the blog isn’t updated regularly, but trust me guys I’m on it. It’s not that I’m not working on the website, it’s more that I’m working on things we don’t see. I see great potential for DCS and I am currently figuring out what would help it grow bigger and also how I could interact with you guys more easily.
If you have any suggestions or anything that could improve the future of this blog, please let me know! The blog is only sleeping a little bit…
Space elevator: Go into orbit
Posted by: | Comments
From cnn.com : A new space race is officially under way, and this one should have the sci-fi geeks salivating.
The project is a “space elevator,” and some experts now believe that the concept is well within the bounds of possibility — maybe even within our lifetimes.
A cable anchored to the Earth’s surface, reaching tens of thousands of kilometers into space, balanced with a counterweight attached at the other end is the basic design for the elevator.
It is thought that inertia — the physics theory stating that matter retains its velocity along a straight line so long as it is not acted upon by an external force — will cause the cable to stay stretched taut, allowing the elevator to sit in geostationary orbit.
The cable would extend into the sky, eventually reaching a satellite docking station orbiting in space.
