You can get punished for that?
Been a while…
Been so damn busy…. anyhoot.
There’s a link on the left now to a Rogue Blog I started. It gives me a chance to write down some numbers for my guides and optimize some data. So suffice it to say, yes I’m in the Beta and yes I have an active account. Refer a friend is gold, gold I tell you!!
In other news, Hell freezes over.
LHC Starts Up
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_Hadron_Collider
So we’re smashing energy particles the size of grains of sand at just short the speed of light over the course of 27Kms at a temperature of -450C (~20 degrees from absolute zero). Each hit does about 14 kilovolts of electricity (powelines are 100Kv). Cameras takes 150mega pixel pictures, 600 times a second to find the Boson, a theoretical particle.
Why are we doing this? Physics has yet to be unified, meaning we have multiple formulas and theories for various SIZES of items. We know how atoms work (sort of), we know how human sized matter works (sort of), we know how planets work (sort of). What we don’t know is how atoms interact with planets.
Think of it this way. There are dozens of theories and it’s next to impossible to prove them because of scale (how do you test an atom vs a planet?). The LHC will gives us a pointer in the proper direction, replicating what scientists believe the Big Bang was all about. A vaccum, absolute cold, tiny particles at the speed of light.
It’s going to be quite the interesting tests!
And that concludes our lesson "Don't be a show-off"
It's not a glitch, he's just that good
Touché EA, Touché
Ever so busy…
Job is taking up a lot of time. Out of town every weekend. Weekdays just seem to be gone in a flash.
Good news is my beta spot in WotLK. Better news is that I won my CI-7s! Woohoo!
10 Skills Everyone Should Have
More importantly, it’s of larger need to know what skills you DON’T have. I know exactly where I’m lacking and I work on it frequently.
American Politico
I’m a self-aware liberal. Not to the extreme but more towards center. Now that that’s out of the way, yes, I do think Obama is the next president. I also thought that McCain should have won against W 8 years ago, he just didn’t have the money to push through. He does have common sense approaches to most items but make no mistake, his is a republican and his believes in military might.
If you’ve been following it at all, you’ve no doubt noticed the republicans are taking the low road. Old politics really, where you spend more time and money abassing your opponent than shinning a light on you. An election is really about selecting the person you fear the least. It’s stupid (Conservatives here will get a backlash from it).
The last one from McCain was hillarious. It compares Obama to celebrities. Sorry John but that’s exactly what being President is about in this day in age. No one elects a President they hate.
Obama released his own message. Now pay close attention because this ad doesn’t attack McCain so much as it attacks the ad – and it finished with a positive note. Look at that tag line!
As much as the world assumes Obama is the next President, they are not the ones voting. He needs to win the bible belt. The place where they actually beleive Satan exists in people, Creationism is a fact and whites are the superior race. It’s almost a 3rd world country in some areas.
Here’s to a very entertaining 4 months.
Looking for Clubs?
Take a peek at Golf Digest’s Hot List for 2008.
I’m looking at an Adams Idea A3 and the Taylormade Burner. Already have a putter and I’m working with a new loft. It’s been 11 years since I had my clubs, time for an update methinks.
