Blogs in space target aliens

"'I have always believed that other intelligent life forms are out there and for the first time they will be able to peer into the life of average Homo Sapiens,' explained Ted Murphy, president and chief executive at MindComet." (Via The Anomalist.)

Reality check: Bloggers are not "average Homo Sapiens." Bloggers comprise the relative handful of humans with the socioeconomic status to afford luxuries such as personal computers. You won't find too many bloggers starving in Africa, or dying of AIDS in Thailand, or avoiding the landmines in Afghanistan.

This "let's beam electronic messages into space" thing is really taking off, starting with voice messages (there's a number you can call). What makes it doubly pathetic is that the signal only gets a slight boost; unless it's intercepted by an ET ship that just happens to be in the way, it will never be detected.

Why do I get the feeling this is like living through "the last days of Pompeii"?

Weren't they really into decadent orgies in Pompeii?
