| | Yes, I'm back. I couldn't begin to figure out how to apologize for disappearing. So why don't I post an entry from my personal log, which is something I rarely do:
Dear Private Diary:
It has taken me all these months to find time to write publicly again. Even if I had an excuse for not sharing my day-to-day exploits with all of my readers, they probably wouldn't buy the excuse anyway. And for a good reason— there are some very smart cookies out there in the blogosphere. They debated major political issues on their blogs with coherence, they maintained a sense of resolve and positive thinking as the economy crumbled around us, and best of all, as busy as most of them have become, they still find time to blog. They pour their hearts out about everything from alternative energy, to break-ups, to the ins and outs of stuffing a turkey. If only I were that good at time management.
There is a reason why most bloggers belong to Generation Y. Even with a full schedule, they're still full of energy, and part of that naive sparkle-in-the-eye is still there. They haven't learned the harsh reality of the human condition, which is something I will be blogging about profusely in the future. The problem is that people don't want a dose of reality, but they do want an escape. How can I possibly accommodate that, when my two greatest traits are insight and honesty? They don't want to hear that the 21st century will be the most turbulent one the world has ever seen (as if the 20th century wasn't bad enough with 13 major wars). They don't want to hear that they might have to study nuclear war survival, just in case. And most farfetched of all, they don't want to hear that amidst all the unknowns, they may reap the benefits of future medicine to live for hundreds of years, if they so desire.
The wisdom I've gained in just the past year alone has outranked everything else in my life. Step by step, I will find a way to share what I've researched about science, technology, and medicine, particularly what awaits us in the near future. And armed with that necessary evil called "honesty", I will be able to enlighten at least a few people with the great inventions— and catastrophies— that await us.

So don't worry, I'll make sure to write at least once per week. I've just been busy with a small Internet company that I co-founded, and I'll talk more about that next time. If you're able to empathize with the life of an entrepreneur, then you'll understand how quickly it gobbles up my time.
For now, I'll leave you with an little peek into the future with an illustration (to the right) of a proposed supertall skyscraper, which tops out at 400 stories. Any guess as to which city wants to build this? ;)

I didn't drop my blog, I just made a new one which I think I'll keep for a good long time. Looking forward to seeing some new material by you.
