First entry

  Well, here it is by popular demand.  A blog.  

  I'm not sure what exactly you're expecting.  Song parodies?  Interesting discoveries and puns (for instance, you must be aware that the reason Matzah tastes bad and constipates people during Passover is because MATZAH anagrams to HAZMAT?).  Meditative words of wisdom?  

  Well, I can start with an idea for science/fiction/nonfiction novel all in one.  It's quite simple.  Take a certain date and time: for instance 4/23/07 at 6:00 PM.

  Have one chapter describe what was going on in the immediate vicinity 1 second earlier.  This could be done by having a friend describe what he or she was doing at 6:00.  Should be pretty straightforward.  For instance, John Smith can say "I had just gone past mile marker 0.7 on the Leverett Connector, heading towards Boston".

  Now multiply the time interval by 10.  Have the second chapter describe what the person had been doing 10 seconds earlier.   They need not be the same people, but they should be linked in some way.  Mary Smith, in the car with John, could say: "John and I had just passed mile marker 0.6."

  For each succeeding chapter, keep on multiplying the interval by 10.  And this is where things get interesting.

  3: 100 seconds.  John and Mary Smith are approaching the beginning of the Leverett Connector.
  4: 1000 seconds = 15 minutes.  John and Mary Smith are leaving work.
  5: 150 minutes.  The sun is still quite high in the sky.  Mary Smith is at a meeting.  John Smith is working out at the gym.
  6: 1500 minutes = 1 day.  It's Sunday and John and Mary Smith are talking with friends.
  7: 10 days.  John and Mary Smith are making plans for 9 days later to talk with friends.
  8: 100 days.  John and Mary Smith watch Deval Patrick get inaugurated in Massachusetts.
  9: 1000 days = 3 years.  John and Mary Smith get married.
  10: 30 years.  John Smith is born.
  11: 300 years -- at this point things start to become fictional if necessary.  It's 1707.  Charity Smith is accused of witchcraft in Reading, Massachusetts.  You can have a few pages describing what happened to her.   Salem was not the only town in the area to have witch trials.
  12: 3000 years -- King David [ca 1000 BC] plans a party for his wife Bathsheba.  The chapter would talk about what he did and so forth.
  13: 30,000 years -- The last Neanderthal laments the last of his species as the Neanderthals are exterminated in Europe by Homo sapiens.
  14: 300,000 years -- Depending on what correct time period for the event is, humans decide to start exploring
northern Africa.  Chieftain G'ob is concerned about the future of his tribe.  Either that, or he invents a new tool or the wheel or something like that.
  15: 3 million years - A lemur realizes that he can survive without his tail just fine.  
  16: 30 million years - One mammal eats another or something like that.
  17: 300 million years - I'd have to check the fossil record: maybe we can have some fish getting forced out of water and realizing that it strange mutation allows it to breathe air for short periods of time.
  18: 3 billion years - An amoeba finds itself in pain and tries to figure out why.  Eventually, it can't resist the pain and divides in two.  Life has arisen for the first time in the area.
  
  And the kicker:

  19: 30 billion years - The novel adopts the philosophy of the cyclical universe, where it is possible for universes to be created in Big Bangs, collapse into Big Crunches, and have the crunched universe explode in a new Big Bang.  In this prior universe, a race of virtually omnipotent, astronomically long-lived beings (known as the Creators) discover that their universe will collapse upon itself in 16.7 +/- 1.3 years [though their description of time would be different].    They are the only intelligent species in their universe and don't want their knowledge to be lost in the ensuing Crunch.  To this end, they use their sophisticated technology to manipulate their universe's spacetime continuum to guarantee that at least one form of intelligent life will be reconstructed out of the wreckage of their universe.   After voting to carry on with this idea, they execute the change to the universe and then retire to their homes to anticipate the end.
