Welcome to the Nerdfighter Ning!

We hope you have a nice time hanging out here. There's one thing though... Running a website has a few costs associated with it. There's the physical server hosting, and you've got to make sure your domain doesn't expire. Any donations towards this would be most appreciated.

 


Here's some useful links to get started.

Thoughts

I have no idea what to write about. I know that I don't have to, but I feel like I need to contribute with something... I don't even know if anyone'll read this.



I like the concept of Nerdfighters. I like that nerds unite and stand together against all the hurtful words and actions. It's about time we step up and do something. The time of the nerds is coming and the world won't be prepared. I like that thought. No more bullying, no more being pushed around or ignored.

As Will Herondale (or maybe it was Cassandra Clare since she wrote the book... but I'm too far gone in books I read to differentiate between fictional and nonfictional people, so...) so eloquently put: "Life is a book and there are a thousand pages I have not yet read." I truly believe that. And I'm not going to let anyone stop me or keep me from being my true self just so they can feel better about themselves. It's time for us to stop caring what others think and just be ourselves. Just embrace your… Continue

They aren't sweet cats. "They are smellly and mean."

Greetings I have taken the position of a Blog Moderator, and while a lot has happened so far this week to piqued my interest, one issue caught my attention right away and I felt it was a good theme to start out with.

In the shadow of Oakland's first international cat video convention I stumbled upon a post on a plea to shut down a YouTube video logger's cat hunting videos, this Kuwait based v-logger has posted thirteen videos of their attempts at ridding  his local streets of felines.



As a pet owner I can honestly say this doesn't surprise me in the least. All animal infestation is a potential a problem. Over crowding and disease can worry a population. Does this give humans the right to hunt and kill?

Some say yes, an unequivocal yes. I'm hesitant to agree, simply…

Some Mind-Bending Earth GIFs

http://earthengine.google.org/#timela...

Google's new Earth Engine, powered by NASA's landsat satellites, gives a time lapse view of (pretty much) every land surface on earth over the last 25 years. The view is amazing, and inspiring, and at times terrifying.

It can be hard to understand the scale here, but our impacts on this planet are huge, and at this point it's clear that we're putting ourselves in a bit of a tight spot.
