I seem to be lost.

I left my office just a few hours ago, looking for Mac, you know, my chief of image repair and forwarding, and apparently i went through the wrong door. Rats.
I didn't know that the rather large blank spot was so close! I will have to find my way out of here. But it is so big and empty here! well not empty, but more like blank. Well it figures, that is why it is called the Rather Large Blank Spot. But rather large is an understatement, more like The Infinitely Blank Expanse. I wont starve i guess, according to Dr. Smiths reports of the area I just have to think of stuff and it will appear, although I have tried to imagine The Door and it doesn't work. The harsh lights and the cold are not helping. It is almost like I am in a giant warehouse. But there are no walls, only the illusion of walls, most probably caused by the positive Non-Euclidean curvature of the space.


But that is only a theory of course.


And on that note i bid you
Good Day, and Best Regards.

This is not as easy as it looks.

As a regular viewer of this blog i am sure that you have noticed that i have fallen down on the job, first i let in a bunch of static, then i let in a cry for help from a bored radio operator, well i personally think that a bit of static every now and then is O.K. besides, i have alot on my plate, not only do i have to decode random radio static, but i also have to decode pictures. this is what you saw earlier:
but this is how it came across Macs desk{top}

you see, while i do most of this blogging thing, Mac is kind enough to scan, reformat, and return all Messed-Up imagery , if he were a robot i would say he did it autonomously, but he isn't a robot, he just works for me. He is the head of image repair and transmission forwarding. If this transmission were meant for me, I would have gotten it, but since it was meant for no-one in particular, it didn't come across my desk. Mac is getting a severe scolding from the head of the scolding department, unfortunately i can't remember if we have a scolding department. i will have to check with Mac, if i can…find him.

And on that note i bid you
Good Day, and Best Regards.

The Continuing Weekly Adventures Of Dr. Zachary Smith H.M.O.

This Weeks Episode:
Trapped!
Last Week as you recall, the Team Was trapped inside the humans  Boxy Vehicular Transport, When an ominous Sound made its way through the Styrofoam, Plastic, and possibly Metal, walls of the machine, a noise like a thousand bones crunching under the feet of a thousand pound lion, 
 
oh. it's just Jack. 
 
 after quick introductions i, er, that is, Jack, told them that we were about to leave the state, and that if they wanted to get back to Legopolis they should probably get comfortable in my, er, his , carry on baggage. they declined, preferring to rather go by
 Door. you know, The Door, to the Rather Large Blank Spot. if Capt.  Brown can get there for Easter, and Zachary can get there for Easter, well then it could act like a tunnel couldn't it?  
well it did, so there. 
after a short telegram to Capt. Browns Royal Door Framers a door appeared, but unfortunately there are no photographs of this end, due to technical failure, editing difficulties, and pressure from the transport industry,  but we did get photographs of them this end,
 
 these are from a local newspaper reporter, { cost me a bundle to get these pictures from his publicist, but i got 'Em! } 
any way, here he is exiting The Door, 

 and here he is bestowing upon his students The Golden Telescopes, Signifying that the members of Dr. Zachary Smiths Exploratory Force, are hereby official Explorers! 
and Dr. Smiths colleagues
join us next week For the Episode {Maybe} Entitled:
 
That is all for today,
Best Regards,
-Sir.

Unschooling in the 15th Century.

"Study without desire spoils the memory, and it retains nothing that it takes in. "
- Leonardo Da Vinci


This is from a guy in the 15th Century.


Paraphrased:
"If you have to learn stuff, without really wanting to, it wont stick."


The 15th Century.


This is a guy who is regarded as one of the greatest minds of, well, Ever. And we still have this Lame School System, Force-feeding knowledge to the masses.
Everyone knows the school system is broken, but we have known it was broken


For Five-Hundred Years


Five-Hundred Years


You would think some one would have instituted a better system in FIVE-HUNDRED YEARS.
Have you seen that T.V. show, "Are you smarter than a 5th grader?" well it should really be titled "are you smarter than a 5th grade textbook?" of course these people are smarter than 5th graders, just at different things, like Brain Surgery. Or Banking.
The reason these people don't remember these things is that they were forced to learn them, they were forced to learn about, say, the political situation of 12th century Europe, who really uses the political situation of 12th century Europe in their day to day lives? I mean Seriously! Unless you are going to be a Professor of Medieval Politics, it is useless.


Useless.



It will continue to be useless for another five-hundred years, no matter what they say about "Individualism" and "Not following the crowd". The Government does NOT want Individuals. {i.e. Artists, Poets, Architects, Forward-Thinkers, you know, Smart People.} They want Worker-Bees. {i.e. Machinists, Checkers, Cubicle Workers, et cetera.}
Because frankly, they are easier to control. Cubicle Workers don't generally lead uprisings against the Establishment. Forward-Thinkers Do.


And on that note I bid you
Good Day, and Best Regards.

the debate over Jack rages on, Jack, or No Jack?

today in Legopolis the debate about Jack rages on. as you may know Legopolis is the largest city in the Legopolian Tri-State Area, and with large cities come many differing points of view. And even among the greatest minds of the country there is bound to be some argument.  49% of the great minds say that There is no such thing as Jack. the entire world was nothing and then, it was. 50% of the Great minds Say that the other 49% of the great minds are stupid, and that the only possible Explanation is that some all-knowing being created everything, the other 49% say that that is ridiculous, as they had done the math and this "Jack" would have to 188.8 bricks tall, an impossible number as bricks only split into thirds, so there. the 49% calmly asks where the 50% got this number?  they reply that they got it from a …foot…print…that…Dr. Zachary Smith… …found,
"Oh."
as that dawns on the 49% of the great minds Dr. Smith himself enters the room. 
"What did i miss?" 
 and on that note i bid you
Good Day, and Best Regards.

i neeed to sort my pictures more often! also, Alaska myths debunked

i was just sorting though my pictures, and i found this! my Dad and i flew up to an unnamed glacier near our small Alaskan town, we met my {great} uncle and a guy he was showing Alaska to, {by small Aeroplane} it was quite fun, i think Dad already posted something about it on his blog. but any way, i was just reminded how cool our* state is! where else can you find lakes, glaciers, and mountains, and get them all in the same shot? i think this was taken with dads camera, seeing as i forgot mine {D'Oh!}
Alaska is full of places like this, its quite awesome here, sure its cold some times, {er, well most of the time.} and we only have the two seasons {light and warmish & dark and cold} and sure we are cut off from just about everything, {being a frozen island near Hawaii is difficult you know,} but we have Walton's Markets, and Fred Meyers, and we have a new Target now too! while we are on the subject, i would like to address some of the myths surrounding Alaska,

First off: we are not all Eskimos. some of us are Swedish. {and quite proud of it, Eh?}

Secondly: nearly none of us drive dog sleds, we mostly drive big Four Wheel Drive Trucks, the dog sleds are mostly just for the big dog sled races, such as the Iditarod.

Thirdly: we do not live in those little Igloos you see on tv, our Igloos are four bed, two bath McMansions with all the amenities, water, sewer, premium cable, and seal meat delivered right to your door!

Fourth: the maps of the united states that we all saw in school {and those little mats you put under your cereal} are not accurate, in those maps Alaska is not connected to Canada in any way apparently we float around in the ocean near Hawaii. now this is just stupid. How would you people in Ohio like it if we just disconnected Ohio and threw it in the sea to float around forever? i admit that that does sound fun, but inconvenient. in actuality we are connected to Canada, {Eh?} and you can in fact drive from Alaska to Ohio, in a car. it would take a month, but you could do it. if you think about it, we are, in fact, part of the contiguous United States. {of America} we certainly are not an island, so we are connected, Vaguely.

Fifth: I've forgotten.

Sixth: i have to stop soon, because it will be too dark to type , oh, wait, its dark all the time isn't it? well, no, it isn't. right now its quite nice, sunny, the snow and ice is almost gone, its quite muddy, but even that's drying up, in the summer the sun never seems to set, so its quite nice, even in the winter the sun comes out for awhile, not long, but its out.
Seventh: the Cold. now this is another stupid one, of course its cold some times! in the winter its cold every where! even Florida! in Alaska the cold is quite nice actually, it's not like in, say, Chicago, where the cold is like a wet bone-chilling cold, in Alaska the cold is quite dry, so it isn't as bothersome. the winter varys, last year for example, we had like two months of winter, with eight months of muddy rainy spring on either end. But that's not what its like all the time! in the summer we can get temperatures up to eighty! right now its fifty! t-shirt weather!
i hope i have convinced at least some of you to come and move to Alaska already,
Best Regards,

The Continuing Weekly Adventures Of Dr. Zachary Smith HuManOlogist.


this weeks episode:
I Thought We Were The Only Ones?

last week as you recall Dr. Smith, Dr. Bennett, Joesph Taylor, Private Lawrence, Clancy and Charles were exploring the nether regions of the humans exploratory vehicle, when not one but two people stepped out of the shadows.



the striped one said that his name was "Tony Jones," and the man next to him was his father, "Antonio Jones Senior." a grocery store/cafe, owner/operator who at present is homeless, but looking for prime real estate, unfortunately he had not found any underneath the automobile seat. after the introductions were finished Zachary extended an offer to the two Jones' to join the exploratory force, which they declined, instead asking for directions back to legopolis, as they had gotten a call about the perfect house, but were hopelessly lost.



unfortunately Zachary didn't know much more than it is incredibly warm, and strangely devoid of humans, there being only jack, jacks mother and S.B.H.G. inhabiting some sort of house with wheels, they had lost their bearings since climbing into Jacks luggage, and after what seemed like days of being buffeted about, had emerged here. but even as they spoke they heard a slamming, and they looked up to see, they were trapped! Zachary and Dr. Bennett attempted to leverage the door open, but it was no use.
{dramatic music!}



join us next week for the next installment of The Continuing Weekly Adventures Of Dr. Zachary Smith H.M.O. Entitled: Trapped!

Next Weeks Episode: #15 Trapped!

That is all for today,
Best Regards,
-Sir.
