hahaha i'm posting on my online journal
ppl sometimes bug me about getting a myspace, i'm still not sure what is useful about myspace. maybe it's not for ppl who ask such questions
I have a little algae farm... in a huge bucket. it has a bubbler! i'm wasting time, but it's nice to watch something grow without you, i'm one of those dumb ppl that think fondly of farming as this amazingly relaxing lazy time where you do no work. my algae are eating bees, stupid bees. This is one of those projects that so far has not cost me any money, i have resisted buying anything (Bubbler was from our old fish tank from over a decade ago). My amazing green puddle.
Other nerdy things: compulsively researching RTGs (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioisotope_thermoelectric_generator )
you know, as a youngin i used to know this kid who everyone thought was weird. Jeffrey. He used to always be super interested in ONE thing at any one time - the subject would always change but whatever that subject was, he'd talk about seldom anything else - the subjects lasted about a month each. He's talk about nothing but fishing, then he'd talk about nothing but 4x4 motorbikes, the weirdest one was Fire Extinguishers.... yeah, fire extinguishers.... *shrug*
Thinking back now he probably had Aspergers.
And that's why i'd like to find him and find out how he's going, how he handles it. Thesedays i tend to have this compulsive FOCUS on various subjects as well, nothing as weird as Jeffrey, but still - it's not normal. I hope he learned to harness it, i envision him being some eccentric but brilliant engineer.
So anyway, RTGs are awesome. They are like... batterys that never run out for over 100 years, carry over 1.5 million times more energy per weight than a Lithium-ion battery, coz they are powered by radioactive material. It's like a phone battery that you would never run out ever .
1.5 million times better than Lithium-Ion!! FUCK YEAH!
ahem...
(and i'm really sorry for not being around... i suck)
