The Boston Diaries

The ongoing saga of a programmer who doesn't live in Boston, nor does he even like Boston, but yet named his weblog/journal “The Boston Diaries.”

Go figure.

SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT!

WARNING: if you read past this point, you will read spoilers about M. Night Shyamalan's film ``The Happening''. Don't say I didn't warn you.

SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT!

Okay, with the warning out of the way, the twist in M. Night Shyamalan's film “The Happening” is that all the trees (or at the very least, all vegetation) in the Northeastern United States are releasing a poisonous gas because we humans have polluted the planet and the trees are mad as hell and aren't going to take it anymore.

Funny how this is happening here in the United States and not, say, oh, China or India (which, funnily enough, never signed the Kyoto Protocol, yet you don't hear the main stream media blasting them as much as they blast us for not signing---nor do you hear the main stream media blast the Clinton Administration for not getting it passed, but I digress).

It's even funnier when you realize we've cleaned up the environment tremendously since the 50s; our environment is cleaner now than it was back then (thank you Iron Eyes Cody). There's even more trees now in New England than there were a century ago.

Sheesh!

Besides, I would think trees would love the dramatic increase in CO2 levels---CO2 is what they breath, afterall, and they would be thanking us, not killing us.

You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go ahead, I won't bite. I promise.

The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent links to that entry only. The format for the links are simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are interested in, say 2000/08/01, so that would make the final URL:

https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01

You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.

You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that important.

It is assumed that every brand name, slogan, corporate name, symbol, design element, et cetera mentioned in these pages is a protected and/or trademarked entity, the sole property of its owner(s), and acknowledgement of this status is implied.
