Vallejo voters want to start taxing text messages now, so that every outgoing text a person sends, they must pay a tax on that. They want to do that because they are facing a deficit and they thought that since no one has a problem with texting, that they should tax that and calling it as just another utility tax; they wanna call it Measure U. I think this is pretty ridiculous and a little too much. I mean yeah Vallejo is in a deficit, but taxing text messages is just a little too much. Who would want to text if that Measure becomes into affect? I know I wouldn't. And I sure as hell know that A LOT of people will either text a lot less, or just not text at all. Yeah the tax may be small I am assuming, but it ALL adds up in the end.
By 2015, the Mt. Diablo School District is going to have more computers in their schools. They want at least 60% of their students to know how to use computers and proficient in technology use. They want their students to know how to use the technologies of everyday life, especially since everything seems like it is going to be "high-tech" in the future. I think this is a good thing because since how everything in the world seems to be going, which is everything becoming technical, everyone is going to need to know how to use that stuff, and actually KNOW what they are doing. Without the knowledge of using this things, what can one do? They will just seem behind, and with how the economy is, everyone is going to start needing to actually have an education and graduate out of high school with high grades to get anywhere, and know how to work with "new" computers that will eventually be made.
NASA wants to bomb the moon?? It's a crazy idea...but yet effective. NASA is going to be sending two things at the moon: first they are going to send a rocket to blast a part of the moon, then send a spacecraft that is going to capture what happens after the rocket hits. They are hoping to expect water/ice to come out from under the moon. Hopefully bombing the moon doesn't hurt it in the end. But I think this is a good way to see what truths the moon holds, but is it worth $79 million? Especially during our economic struggle at the moment? I kind of feel like they should have waited a little... But at the same time this is a very fascinating experience that will lead to finding new things out about the moon. Hundreds of people are gathered in places and have been camping out all night to experience this moment. I know I wish I was over at Mountain View, CA right now with the rest of the people out there that are going to be enjoying a miraculous sight.
Here is a video that will show an animation of exactly how the plan is going to look like:
