    Why is it so dark outside?

  • ps1borgps1borg Posts: 12,776

    Morning. A mob of bright-necked big eyed turtledoves jostling and preening in the sun like so many flustered starlets queueing for a photo op :)

    Rainy and gray here this morning.  I swear I haven't been raindancing in weeks.

    Yeah, but you did such a good job that the entire continental U.S. has been having rain issues!

    Dana

    I guess I should give advance notice so everyone can get arks built and animals loaded.

    A big wind came in the night and blew all our stormclouds out to sea :)

    It often happens right after the sun goes down.

    At the seaside, it's more rapid than we land-locked desert dwellers.

    wondering what my medievil ancestresses were doing about this time of evening, huddled under a throw blanket in front of the not-computer?

    You need plugins for audacity to save mp3s, a link to the plugins is on the Audacity pages :)

    I am recoring something and now looking for something to play it in random order.

    I forgot to mention... I saw a really small, low meteor break apart and burn up yesterday night... Probably 50 feet or so over the highway... Actually, route 110 in Farmingdale, right near Republic airport... It was pretty cool... It was one of those greenish ones, very slow moving and then it just "poof" fragmented into tiny fiery bits... Back when I was a kid I actually saw a very small one pass overhead and strike an abandoned building... It kinda burned out first, but there was a definite sound of something striking the brick... Like small stones hit it... I looked, but never found any pieces... They were probably too small. I wonder how often people miss these kind of things. This is probably the forth or fifth time I've seen a tiny low meteor burn up, but only the second time I was looking directly at it and had time to visually track it.  I'm determined to recover a fragment of one one day... It's like they taunt me.

    Cool, but are you sure they're not overstressed birds or exploding stink bugs with a clogged exhaust port?

    Actually, in the '90s I was involved in a government research project bouncing radio signals off the ionized air of small meteor trails that are happening all the time.  It's a low bandwidth but reliable means of over-the-horizon communication.  It's called "Meteor Burst Communication" http://www.amazon.com/Meteor-Burst-Communications-Theory-Practice/dp/0471522120

    I found this in my product library and was having such a difficult time activating it.  I tried two times with no luck.  I got the serial number from this page http://www.daz3d.com/downloader/customer/serialnumbers/ but had to type it in the program with an on screen keyboard.  It turns out I thought an I was a 1 which caused the serial number not to work.

    There was actually a climatic high during the middle ages so they were probably warmer than you are.

    Cheers,

    Alex.

    Finding bits of left-over meteor is almost always a bad idea, just ask Hollywood.

    Come on now... How much more evil and mutated can I get?

    I just mentioned this in another thread and I know if I don't mention it here, it will be gone from my brain forever... A while ago BBC posted an online version of the old Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy text game... I just looked to see if it is still there and surprisingly it is... 

    http://play.bbc.co.uk/play/pen/g38lb8zppy 

    I didn't test it, but surprisingly it shows up on my iPad... Back when they originally posted it, it worked... Sorta well... ish... 

    I mention it because in this thread we often make Hitchhiker's based jokes and references... So I think a few who might not know of this or have forgotten about it might enjoy messing about with it... It's hard to play if you don't remember the book or at least have seen the show or movie.

    Good morning all! smiley

    Woke up early and got breakfast at Whataburger (scrambled eggs, biscuit, bacon, and hash browns with a coffee), then shopped for soup and stew to eat for lunch at the office.  Next up, time to get cleaned up and dressed and head out for wings and football! laugh 

    In Tulsa, I could barely walk anywhere - no sidewalks so it was in the treacherous grass or on the road, neither of which was good for my poor feet.  Here, I can walk all over the place, and while it's taking some getting used to again I already feel healthier!  When i lived here before I'd wlk a couple of miles na dy, and about 4-5 over the weekend!

    Wlking is important for me - helps keep the blood sugar down and my circulation up, very important for anyone with diabetic foot issues.  plus it helps me lose weight, another importqnt thing.

    Wherever I end up moving to for a long-term place, it's going to be near a bus stop so I can get to all the parks and fun places.

    I did discover it's *possible* to get a drivers license with only one functuonal eye if it's 20/70 with glasses.  I'm nt sure I'm that good, but it might be worth gettng tested to see.  I'd likely not on a car but get one of those suer-cute gas scooters to putter around in when the weather's good.  Trouts on wheels!  Otherwise, I'm going to save for an electric bicycle.. I used to have one, and man, are they a blast!  No insurance or license required, but they only go 35mph.. although that would esily get me from the light rail station to work...

    Well, time to wash up and prepare!  Looking forwrd to some good games today!!

    Everyone have a great <enter yout time here>!
