(That title should be read in the deep Jim Henson voice that used to introduce the Miss Piggy soap opera. Jus’ sayin’)
Yes, apologies, another weird and wonderful idea from way out there in left field and again, simply too good not to get wider attention.
You’ve heard that radio signals have been flowing out into space ever since the very first broadcast? And that as transmitters have got more powerful, those signals have been going ever further at those higher strengths?
Then of course there is TV as well: wasn’t the plot of some movie based on that? That all the aliens knew about us was reruns of I Love Lucy or something? (Or was it a Flash Gordon style space hero show? And the actor ends up meeting the aliens or something?)
Now you can broadcast your blog into space. Yes, really, that’s what blogs in space does for you. Can’t see that there’s any fee, they take your RSS feed and send it out to the universe.
Just think what it’s going to be like when the aliens do get here: will they have taken notice of the Daily Kos feed or the Free Republic one? And what would either mean for us normal people?
