Colors on the Eve of Revolution
I’ve never delved into the mysteries of photography any further than to learn that if you over-expose a picture you’ll capture more light and get cool wiggly effects if you move the camera around while you do this. Seriously, I played with this feature on my friends cam for like… hours.
Thanks to the wonderous digg.com, [...]

Rock Chick/Silouette cut out
I was bored, so I took this pic and made a trendy Apple-ish silhouette thing in Photoshop. Actually, I made it a long time ago at the Pooh Bear’s place.
Pretty simple: Just desaturated the image, used the cut out filter. Then I had to smooth the edges and get the image to pure black and [...]

Hans Bethe
If I asked you to name some famous physicist (If you had asked me the same question, as well), you would probably generate a list of the giants: Newton, Einstein, Hawking… perhaps Bohr, or Oppenheimer; The “Rock Stars,” of Physics. (Seriously, Stephen Hawking gets a rock star’s welcome everywhere he goes. Except maybe an American [...]

You have no idea how bad I wanted to make a completely immature joke about pee. Apparently I do have a conscience.
So, unless you’re a total feral child who’s been living out in the woods for the past… well, a long time; You’ve probably at least heard of a CPU (Central Processing Unit for those [...]

Worm Before I am a Man?
Sim games have never really been my cup of tea. By sim I mean Sim City, The Sims, and whatnot. I do love a good flight sim. And, to be honest, I did get into Sim City for a while, but… well… It was then I decided I wasn’t cut out for government.
Anywho, as I [...]

Just trying some Spanish out. Learned papitas crujientes today off a can of Pringles. Potato crisps for those wondering.
Life is good. All is well.
tp, out.

Fanatics… Unite!
I consider myself a tolerant person, especially on the subject of religion. I think this may come from being one of three Catholics among my peers growing up, they being mostly Protestants. Children can be pretty hateful, and I remember some extreme little “Churchies” (Thanks to Spicy for that one) who literally avoided me like [...]

New feature – Contigo
You might notice a new link up on the navbar (You have noticed the navbar before, right?). Contigo. It’s Spanish for “with you.” Those of you with some Spanish knowledge might be thinking “I thought ‘con tu’ meant with you?” Well, literally, you’re right. However, contigo is the correct form. Conmigo is “with me.” Quieres [...]

Poetic mish – mash
I am not poetic. I took a poetry class last spring and it was pretty easy until I actually had to write a poem. All I had to do was emulate a poem out of our anthology. I ended up with a terrible poem; but the title, and its sexually suggestive pun, illicited one of [...]

The Guilty Innocent
I don’t usually read contemporary fiction, but I read a recently released novel Suspect by Michael Robotham. It’s one of those rare books that you could probably sit and read in one sitting if it was healthy to do that sort of thing. Robotham has spun one of the most polished plots I’ve read in [...]
