New year 2012.

2011 was an interesting year no matter which way you look at it.

Here's to hoping that going into 2012, more people start to accept the fact that there's an emergency on planet Earth.

It's way past time to get our shit together.

But the begining of a new year is a thing to celebrate - so happy new year.

**Update**

Tom Murphy at "Do the Math" had a good post recently (re: getting our shit together) that I thought I'd share:
http://physics.ucsd.edu/do-the-math/2011/12/the-future-needs-an-attitude-adjustment/

He has a great line in his conclusion that I identified with:
"The Spock in me wants to raise an eyebrow and say “fascinating.” The human in me is distressed by the implications to our collective rationality."

Anyway, once again, happy new year.
