Adam Smith and Your Invisible Hands: Invisiblog

It's Just An Exploding Star - March 22, 2008

From Wikipedia:
Research has been conducted to investigate the consequences of Earth being hit by a beam of gamma rays from a nearby (about 500 light years) gamma ray burst. This is motivated by the efforts to explain mass extinctions on Earth and estimate the probability of extraterrestrial life. A gamma ray burst at 6000 light years would result in mass extinction; a 1000 light year distant burst would be equivalent to a 100,000 megaton nuclear explosion. A burst 100 light years away would blow away the atmosphere, create tidal waves, and start to melt the surface of the earth. There is a one in a million chance that there could be a gamma ray burst as near as the earth's closest star, Alpha Centauri, in the lifetime of the earth. Such a burst, at 4.3 lightyears distant, would effectively incinerate the earth.
Live it up.

Adam Smith and Your Invisible Hands will be playing two weeks from tonight at the High Dive in Seattle. Please come, sorry it's short notice.

Good evening all. We are currently putting together some shows for you in the northwest, and this summer, hopefully, we will be visiting those of you down the coast in Oregon and California. We've got some new songs and we're very excited to play them for you. Shortly, Senator Barack Obama will be giving a speech addressing race in his campaign for President. I feel very sorry that this even has to happen. Until recently, we have proven that we can look beyond race in this campaign, and if we can prove that we have, indeed, grown as a species, this will be a profound blessing for our country and the world. We need to choose the right person this time, not the right demographic. We need to evolve. Good night to you.

We had a wonderful time with everyone last night at the High Dive in Seattle. It is so nice to be on stage with a rock band again. We'll let you know when we book more dates, which will be soon. Have good Dreams and a good Night.

Well, this is the first blog entry for my new website. Thank you for stopping by. I'll update this often so come back and see what's up. My first record, "Strangers" is almost finished. It should arrive sometime in late June. I'll have a more specific date soon. It's taken a long time to make this record, but I think the time has made it better. It's had a chance to breathe a little, but at this point I'm getting anxious to finally finish. So stay tuned, and I'll let you know how it pans out.
