Schrödinger’s LOLCat

by

Just a quick post (still crazy school time). I like LOLCats a lot, but by far, the funniest, albeit geekiest, photo I’ve ever seen is: It’s funny because of Schrodinger’s Cat Thought Experiment. Basically, quantum physics says a quantum particle, at any moment, may or may not exist. Honestly, there is still no “official” way for the things we know … Read more

Tinkled Toes

by

This week and next are insanely busy for me, so you’ll have to forgive my sparse posting. As you probably know, last week we went camping. It was a great week, but one of the things you notice more when you’re away is how often you go to the restroom. I’m actually on a blood pressure medicine that causes me … Read more

Most Days, I Don’t Even Shave…

by

One of the joys of camping in a state park, is that everyone uses community showers. (No, not like that…) The park we stayed at only had 3 showers for the entire park. There are well over 100 campsites, and camping creates lots of reasons to bathe. Every morning, as I walked to the restrooms, I’d see people waiting outside … Read more

Aaaaand we’re back!

by

I’m back from my week long hiatus in the woods! We went camping in the tip of Michigan’s upper peninsula, and it was very awesome. Although I brought 2 laptops and a WiFi enabled Palm Pilot, I didn’t do much web surfing. Nor did I do much writing. The latter saddens me more than the former. I saw this on … Read more

Are You Awake?

by

If you’re awake, and it’s Sunday night (the 12th of August, or if it’s already past midnight, the 13th), GO OUTSIDE AND LOOK UP!!! The Perseid meteor shower is going on right over your head! Ok, in all fairness, it’s largely better in the Northern Hemisphere, but it’s worth a look regardless. The peak will be about 2 hours before … Read more

Happy Birthday, Choochie

by

Believe it or not, I do try to be a sensitive husband. I listen close throughout the year so I get gifts that are really good, and I try to be loving and caring on days that aren’t just special occasions. Sometimes, however, I screw up. Today is one of those days. I thought I was doing the right thing … Read more

What the Junk?

by

We don’t have a junk drawer in our house. That saddens me immensely. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a big fan of clutter, but it’s very strange to live without a junk drawer. At work, it’s not really been a problem, historically, because I’ve had at least one place for junk. For example: But here at home, my wife … Read more

I’m leaving, on a motorhome…

by

On Monday, we’ll be leaving for a camping trip to the upper peninsula of Michigan. I’m looking forward to the trip, but it means we’ll likely be away from any Internet connection. I’ll be bringing my trusty laptop along, and will keep blogging (offline), and if we get to a hotspot somewhere, I’ll upload! Do what does that mean? Well, … Read more

I Love Dead Trees

by

I have digital books, and a few different eBook readers. I enjoy eBooks, but I have to admit, if I had my druthers, I’d grab a hunk of dead tree any day. Not only do I like actual books, but I really like old books. Like this beauty here. I found this at the used bookstore for $1.95, and I … Read more
