My Top Five Scientific Discoveries of 2005

So, everyone and their hamsters are writing articles about 2005. Whether it's junk science, top movies, the biggest news stories, or the most-personal details of their lives from 2005. I decided that I will write about the scientific discoveries that I made in 2005. 1. Deer + Car (weight x velocity) = $1,000 Driving in my Honda Accord and being hit by a deer is not exactly my favorite scientific discovery. But it did still prove the point that velocity physics and stationary physics don't mix very well. I attempted to sue the deer for reckless walking, but my lawyers advised against any legal action toward Bambi's empire. 2. Every fun project has an equal and opposite priority Year in Review 2004 would have been really cool. It was supposed to be the last D.Joseph-Design-produced video for my church, and I had done a lot of awesome work on it. But other priorities interfered, and then many issues arose that prevented its production. 3. Version numbers never reflect amount of labor In September, Apple Computer released iTunes 5. One month later, they made a couple changes and released iTunes 6. If this ideology ever made it into vehicle manufacturing, our cars would be upgraded three years every time that we changed the oil. 4. One person does not equal four employees I never had opportunity to write about AiG's 2005 Creation Mega Conference. But that's really no surprise because I was out of people in my pockets to write anything while I was at the conference. The five-day conference hosted by Liberty University at Lynchburg, Virginia, gave me some exciting, but straining responsibilities. During each day and night, I fulfilled the roles of official photographer, onsite graphic designer, presentation support, guest-technology support supervisor, and presentation coordinator. Next time, I'm bringing my rubber ducky for encouragement. 5. First law of thermoblogynamics: blogging requires neither talent nor message I really don't want to offend any of my readers with this, but I have to say it. In the past year, I've seen dozens of new blogs created. Most of them really say absolutely nothing except everything that they shouldn't say—like personal information. And before some get mad at me, I'm not talking about one particular group. Of the hundred or so blogs that I glance over every day, very few say anything that I need or want to know. But I have deep respect for those few who actually write something. Your words have been encouraging.
