Egghunt

Egghunt is the tale of a hungry caveman on a quest to fill his stomach. He discovers a nest full of plump eggs just inches beyond his reach and must devise a way to get them before he loses them all.

Kelvin's Sites's Journal on "Our Journey So Far"

A good read! URL: http://hotzone.yahoo.com/b/hotzone/blogs9538

Also see the comments particularly the last one. Here is the last comment to that article.

Ira Chernus, a Professor at the University of Colorado, wrote that November 9, 1989 -- not September 11, 2001 --changed everything, when the Berlin Wall fell and left the U.S. at sea, drifting without an enemy (USSR) in a strange new world. The world's sole remaining superpower was "running out of demons," as Colin Powell complained. After a decade adrift with no foes to oppose, 9/11 happened and Americans returned to a black-and-white world, neatly divided into the good guys and the bad guys. In the hands of the Bush administration, "terrorists," modest as their numbers might have been, turned out to be remarkably able stand-ins for a whole empire-plus of "commies." They became our all-purpose symbol for the evil that fills our waking nightmares. The war on terrorism has revived the Cold War mindset, in which we are all citizens of a national insecurity state, with a recent poll revealing that only 14% of Americans feel safer now than they did five years ago. Many write that the United States reached the peak of its power in the late 1940s. Now with the growing awareness that the Bush Global War on Terror is doing more harm than good, not to speak of the weakening of U.S. power and interests around the world, it would interesting to read articles of how/if folks in middle America are viewing all this. http://grant-montgomery.blogspot.com/

That's so true.... Interestting as well.

Anyway, while researching something for a drawing subject (well.. i suck at drawing.. really! but it was so awesome looking at others' works and it has renewed my interest and enthusiasm in appreciating pple's drawings!), saw that incredible and amazing artist's work.. that artist is actually an autistic savant. if you have seen the movie "Rain Man" in which dustin hoffman and tom crusie starred in or have read that book "the curious incident of the dog...", u'll know what i mean. for those who still dont know what "autistic savant" means, here is the url for definition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autistic_savant

ok back to the video, watch it below! it left me speechless and in awe of that amazing guy. i dont know how people like him can actually draw everything simply from memory within just a few hrs or even less! whats more amazing is that he is autistic. anyway there are other types of savants as well.. i cant help but be in awe of these people... genuises!!
