Oneoveralpha's Ramblings: Introducing Possible Futures
http://oneoveralphasramblings.blogspot.com/2016/12/introducing-possible-futures.html
Wednesday, December 28, 2016. I primarily write science fiction. Sometimes my stories are of starships warping off to meet aliens, but often my stories are set closer to home: maybe a few decades or a century from now. I’m always thinking about how current technology will change in the next few decades. This can lead to story ideas, or it can just be a fun way to pass the time. So I have a bunch of random ideas of what we may have in the future. I wrote a few articles on that site, then it died. The titl...

Oneoveralpha's Ramblings: January 2017
http://oneoveralphasramblings.blogspot.com/2017_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 20, 2017. I never thought I’d see this day. I never thought I’d see Obama handing off to the next President. Not because I’m a conspiracy nut who thought that Obama was going to rip up the Constitution and declare himself King, but because when he was elected in 2008 I thought there was a 99% chance that he’d be assassinated in his first year. I did not expect him to live through his first term, let alone a second. Thursday, January 19, 2017. Political Pies is free. Besides hoping that pe...

Oneoveralpha's Ramblings: December 2016
http://oneoveralphasramblings.blogspot.com/2016_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 29, 2016. Possible Futures – Firewood trees. As our understanding of genetics improves and we gain experience modifying or even creating genes, could it be possible to make trees that, instead of bearing apples or pears, produce blocks of firewood? What I’m thinking is that the “fruit” would have a hardwood center with a softer outer layer with a rind that’s easy to light. One tree wouldn’t heat a home for winter, but a grove of a hundred might. Wednesday, December 28, 2016. Sometimes ...
