What Happened Before the Big Bang? : Paul Davies

If you read What Happened Before the Big Bang?, you will find out that, in fact, the entire universe is a piece of gum. Or something, I can't understand where I left my shoes, let alone this.

Seriously, I found this to wrap everything up into a neat little package, which then explodes. And you should take my word on that, since I have the credentials to know everything. That's why everyone calls me "Oracle"... or maybe it was "Urkel", but I have a hard time hearing, and I think the guy that called me that was blind because I'm Caucasian.

I still have a few questions, like "What about the other 7 dimensions?", "Does motion define time, or does time define motion?" and "Who will be the next $10,000 winner of AFV?"

Keep it real

I'm not sure why, but today I feel like a weight has been lifted off the monkey hanging on my back. I'm mellow, I've got a peaceful, easy feeling. Maybe it's because of my dream that I had, which I don't remember. Perhaps it's because I got to wake up later than usual. Maybe because I went to church and got some advice. Who knows, but I like it. I didn't even know I was feeling down (well, not "down", more like below average). It is good to get a reminder every now and again that you shouldn't worry about every little or big thing that happens to you or to someone else, because worrying won't help, and you only complain when you don't want to do anything useful to fix the problem yourself.

Your sense of humor is one of the greatest survival mechanisms you have, whether you are fighting stress, some crisis, or even to calm down someone about to implode your face. Hmm... I guess Roger Rabbit was right all along.

Math by Farming

For anyone who visits this blog (heh heh, ok, I know nobody else visits this site besides us, but let's pretend anyway), they'd know that I'm currently located on a farm doing farm related things. When it comes time for me to talk about things in this blog of ours, I tend to talk about... farming. What else would I talk about, New York?

New York state's population is 19,190,115 total with 17,624,305 of those people living in metro areas as of 2003(USDA/ERS). NY covers 54,475 square miles, which is the 27th largest state in the USA. So, on average, that would be 323.5 people per mile, but that doesn't matter. Main imports are immigrant taxi drivers and gorilla stink spray (Just a guess). The state animal is the beaver. Dinosaur fossils found in New York are from the
Coelophysis, which was considered one of the geeks of the dinosaur carnivores, and was beat up daily for milk money, which explains why they traveled in packs and were able to run away really fast. I guess that's the joke: Once you've saurischian, you've seen them all...

...OF COURSE I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT FARMING, YOU DOLT!

Now to farming. Also, get your pad, pen, and calculator ready.

We're still harvesting wheat. All of that rain we got a couple weeks ago set us back, and currently we are on a 450 acre sprinkler irrigated crop. 450 acres, what's that? That is 19,602,000 square feet my friend, or 0.703125 square miles (640 acres in a mile), so the radius of this circular field is 2498 feet. To help you relate how big this is: Imagine the state of New York. Ok, now imagine it 1.29x10^-5 of that size. Yeah, that big. Seriously, for those of you who have been on the FHSU campus, imagine that area. The university grounds is about 275 acres big, or 0.430 square miles.

We have been farming on this field for four days now, and we are only 70% done (estimated). Here is where the real mathy stuff comes in, and someone might want to check my numbers, but here we go.
We cut the field with a 30 foot-wide header, but since we don't go to the edge of the header, we really only use an average of about 28 feet of that header. We have 2 combines, so you could say we cut with a 56 foot width. Because this field is irrigated, we have to go really, really slow. Instead of 5.0 mph, we average only around 1.9 mph, or 10,032 feet/hour. So, that means every hour, we harvest 56 * 10032 = 561792 square feet per hour, or 12.9 acres/hour. That means that the whole field will take 450 / 12.9 = 34.9 hours to cut a field. A whole day's work is 13 to 14 hours, but we only cut for 12 hours a day, give or take. So, the whole field can get cut in 3 days.

3 days to cut, but we've been there for four days, and, if we're lucky, only one more day. So what's the problem? For the whole harvest, we have had 6 breakdowns (or 6 unrequested interruptions of combine operations, if you want to get bureaucratic about it), and ALL SIX of those breakdowns were in this field. Irrigated wheat can do that. 4 of those breakdowns were mine, and involved the header in some way, and one of them was sort of my fault, I didn't tighten down two bolts to the required torque. How am I supposed to know how much 120 foot-pounds feel like? Are you still reading this? Or did you just skip to the end, you punk?! In any case, you shall be rewarded (or punished, you cheater) by giving you a link to the everything conversion tool: OnlineConversion.com, or a kick in the head. You'll have to travel to me, and bend your head down, or you can have someone else kick you for me through proxy.

Ugh. I think my brain just died.

Where is everyone?

No one is posting anymore. This is sad. I am sad. Where did everyone go?

My Job seems pretty cool (though I have only worked one day so far). I really need the money, I am running out!

Yesterday's storm was freakin' awesome! Sirens were going off the hook! The power went out and we had no radio, thanks Jess for informing us about the weather. We couldn't really contact anyone else. Happy Birthday by the way.

Mmmm mmm mmmmm IceCream.

Jobs

Thought I mention I got a job today as well. I think its funny that Sam, Jon, and me all got a job today. I'll be working at Compare Computers, my boss is Kiel, a close friend of mine that I've known since middle school. I just like to say thanks to him for getting me this job. I know I'm not the most qualified for this job, but I shall do my best!

On a different note, Jazzcore, screamo, math metal, hardcore, thrash metal, thrashcore, metalcore, and lounge music all kick major ass. Woot (too many cds I want to buy...I love music oh so much).

Thank you, GMail

You see, this is why capitalism is great. Competition for the dollar. Thanks to threats from Google's email service that boasts 1GB capacity, other companies are realizing that they aren't sitting as comfortably as they used to. Yahoo upped its capacity from, what, 15 megabytes, to 100MB, and now, finally, Microsoft will be upping their limits from 4MB to 250MB per account and 10MB per email attachment. 250MB? Now you'll never have to worry about deleting those pictures your family sends you.
Now would this have happened if communism was in place? No, because you'd still be in line for toilet paper. Man, I love America. Well, the United States part anyway. Canada makes a good bacon, so I guess they're good too.

Its the 4th

Merry 4th of July everybody! Hope everyone is having fun. I'm grilling out with Sam and Jon (and a couple of their friends). We bought a lot of food and a bucket of icecream, I love the icecream. Mmm mmm icecream. Oh hells yeah! You two better pay me back sometime.

what the heck

I feel it coming. Something good, like a job call hopefully. My spacebar is broken so it takes twice as long to type stuff now. I think my job delay is due to the squirrels finding out I placed their plans for world domination on the web. Oh well I will get one soon enough and then we will see who is laughing.

Quite Interesting

Yes, this summer is starting to turn quite interesting. A lot of fun for me, maybe I won't be so bored.

I may be going to Va Beach sometime this summer, which will be so awesome. I will get to see all my friends that I have not seen in years. I'm so excited.

Here's the picture of Kari, Me, and Lester at the mall on that glorious day in the summer. "Sketched image" my foot. $2.00 just to have a camera with an attitude problem "sketch" our picture. I could do the same thing with the equipment I have already for close to nothin'. What really tickled me though is that a copy of the picture is another $2.00, while in a store no more than 20 feet away there was a copier for 25 cents a copy. Can you say ripped off? Nice picture though.

Google Search: bloggination

Good news everybody! We are no longer #5 for the term "bloggination". We are now #1, baby!

I can only think that it is because of all of the hard hitting articles that we are able to deliver on a consistant basis. I hear Jon's article on the Squirrel revolution is up for a Pulitzer.

And if it isn't Jon, it's Lester's total in-depth coverage of whatever he is talking about, leaving no questions unanswered that we may have.

And then there is the rest of the gang, which I was going to talk about but then I realized how sleepy I really am.

Whats next?

Get all of your blogs in one place

So let me guess: You don't check back here every hour of every day to see if someone put up a new post? First off: Shame on you! Second off: That's ok, because now, as long as you are connected to the 'net, you'll get updates on new posts every hour! "How," you ask? I'm glad you said that.

You get the updates by using FeedReader! FeedReader is not just compatible with Blogger feeds, but also with any other blog that provides an XML or RSS feed, like... I dunno, let's say LiveJournal. Here's the best part: It's open source, and its FREE! Wee! Here's the link to download it: FeedReader Then, after installing it, create a new blog and put this link into it:
http://fhsu.blogspot.com/atom.xml
That's all there is! And to make sure that you ALWAYS know what's going down, go into properties, and under the "general" tab, scroll down to "Startup" and select "Run program on startup", "Start minimized to Tray", and "Check msgs on program startup". Also, go to the "Appearance" tab, and change the refresh rate to "Every 30 minutes" (or whatever time frame you want), and change archive to " ALL headlines " so that you get EVERY single post, ever. It's just that simple! Now, whenever you start your computer, you are in contact with all of your favorite blogs, almost instantly.

Oh, I almost forgot: if you have some friends on LiveJournal, just create a new entry and in the URL type:
http://www.livejournal.com/users/username/data/atom
where username is the name of your friend. Repeat for everyone that you'd like to keep an update on. Now you're done!

Hehehe

I agree things are starting to look interesting.

I am watching the Rocky marathon on amc along with the Karate Kid marathon realizing that I really need a job. So everyone write Shayne and tell him to give me a job. And you know Lester is a big goofball in more ways than one.

Hahaha

Things are starting to look interesting.

Spiderman 2 was pretty cool.
I finished one of my summer classes today. Woot, now I can work in the morrings too (if I get a job).
