One of my favorite pictures of all time is the Hubble Ultra Deep Field.  I could sit and stare at it for hours.  It's a picture taken by the telescope that covers an area of space about 1/10th the size of the moon, and it focuses on empty space (empty to us anyways).  It contains 10,000+ galaxies.  Using this number it has been calculated that ( Read more... )

"Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), formerly referred to as magnetic resonance tomography (MRT) or, in chemistry, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), is a non-invasive method used to render images of the inside of an object.

You ever hear those people talking, and you wonder, how the fuck are they alive and breathing? I had the pleasure of standing between those people tonight at Walmart. First there is a group of four frat guys in front of me. They're just talking, don't seem too drunk, but I've heard my ferrets make more intelligent conversation. Then there's the ( Read more... )

where I start out feeling crappy and end up feeling accomplished. Went to work at 6am for a tournament, which meant I got off early. Stopped by Ford to pick up a part I have been needing to replace for some time now. Went to Walmart and tried to buy my Claritin. Apparently, you can only buy 20 pills per month thanks to the damn junkies making ( Read more... )

I have to say, I'm pretty damn proud of myself. Since February, I've lost almost 25lbs. I probably drink a few gallons of water per day at work, come home, eat a small healthy meal, then go to work again. Breakfast is usually a bowl of oatmeal and then my vitamins. Occasionally I have a drink or two after a long day. I think I'm well within my ( Read more... )

Been a long time since I updated...workin two jobs sucks. Pretty much every other day I get up at 5:30am and get home around 10:00pm...some days, like today, I have off for tournaments or because of holiday :-) Anyways, I was watering the greens this morning and this group of fire ants decided to attack me, unprovoked mind you, so I got a few ( Read more... )

Why the fuck do I pay $20 extra for 2nd day air s/h if they can "reschedule" to another day later...

So, I think I've about had it with Panasonic as a company. About a month ago, I ordered a cable I needed for my CD player to have satellite radio before I go on a road trip in a week now. A week goes by, and nothing, I e-mail them, and they said they had no knowledge of my transaction (which is funny b/c they sure as hell had knowledge of my ( Read more... )

Long day at work. Had to fly-mow and blow out bunkers, took about 3 1/2 hours, then I had to service the ball washers because we want the course lookin clean for the holiday weekend. Found another turtle today at work, a softshell; his name is Jack the Ripper because apparently they're quite vicious. Anyways, applied for my first credit card in ( Read more... )
