The legends, stories and tribulations of a UVA Physics Grad. XKCD – Speed and Danger. July 2, 2016. July 3, 2016. If we think about it however, accidents that involve Formula One and Nascar typically are fiery and quite dangerous. Rocket Launches though yeah, they’re dangerous if you think about it as the astronauts are effectively sitting on top of a missile – queue up your favorite Road Runner / Wiley E. Coyote cartoon here. . . What if BB-8 ran Windows XP…. May 22, 2016. What if that were a thing?

The legends, stories and tribulations of a UVA Physics Grad. January 31, 2015. January 31, 2015. If you’re a fan of Doctor Who and you’ve got Amazon Prime and you’re thinking to yourself, “At least I can always watch the seasons for free with my prime membership…” you might be in for a little bit of heartache. In this strange twist though, Amazon Prime is not re-negotiating their deals with the BBC. Why you ask? More on this yonder at the Verge for anyone curious about some of the finer details.

The legends, stories and tribulations of a UVA Physics Grad. What if BB-8 ran Windows XP…. May 22, 2016. Alright, so seriously, we all know that BB-8. Runs some hard core calculations based on the mapping projection that he does within Star Wars, Episode VII: The Force Awakens. But what if he happened to make use of the Windows XP sounds? What if that were a thing? Would we be able to better understand him or be emotionally receptive to the noises he would make? Posted in Geek Stuff. May 10, 2015. So I t...

The legends, stories and tribulations of a UVA Physics Grad. Who’s Lime is it anyway? February 11, 2015. Unsure of how to confess your love to someone? Acquire several dozen limes. Go up to them and then drop all the limes. Start picking them up, but keep dropping them. The clumsier you look, the better. Keep doing this until you have their attention (this could take up to thirty minutes). Finally gather up the limes. Try looking a bit sheepish. XKCD – Speed and Danger. What if BB-8 ran Windows XP….

The legends, stories and tribulations of a UVA Physics Grad. Snow… Snow… Why are you falling…. February 19, 2015. Welp, looks like we’re looking at some snow on Saturday of this weekend… looking at our friendly Weather Sparks ( http:/ www.weatherspark.com. It would seem that we’ll have some snow in the morning and then some sleet and maybe some more snow. But then if we check out the forecast over at the Weather Channel, it would seem that we’re in for more snow than that…. But wait, that’s it? Create a ...

The legends, stories and tribulations of a UVA Physics Grad. Feed flipper, iTunes Feeds and McLean Presbyterian Church. May 10, 2015. May 10, 2015. A few months back, I had sent a note to a local church in the DC metro area – McLean Presbyterian. To be precise – asking if they had an RSS feed for their sermons. Sure enough, when I went to check this morning, lo and behold, an iTunes feed. Mostly for its Smart Speed capability to remove the gaps in podcasts that sometimes get left in. Thanks to the fine f...

The legends, stories and tribulations of a UVA Physics Grad. AdBlock Plus… is it worthwhile? February 2, 2015. If you’ve been using trusty ole AdBlock plugins for Firefox and Chrome to make your web browsing experience a bit nicer, you might need to take a moment and determine if it’s actually working for you. Apparently a few of the Internet titans may be working to make sure that their ads still show up. Time to start looking for an alternative I suppose. Posted in Geek Stuff. February 2, 2015 at 15:18.
