blog to surf; surf to blog

So, every once in awhile I get the bug up my ass to write something on my blog. I have been updating my moblog more because I can do it whenever and from my phone (and pictures=103 words). Oftentimes, I write something then realize that the article isn't worth publshing so a one to two sentence non-posted saved idea 'post' will reside in my queue for a while until I realize that it wasn't ever worth posting in the first place and it gets deleted. I don't want to blog about blogging too much, but I can't and won't update this site because:

  1. i am too 'busy' staring at the my work computerscreen
  2. i am traveling too much (ABQ?)
  3. nothing of interest in the tech world that i understand well enough to comment on
  4. all the recurring events in my life remain the same (which makes them recurring)

So I wonder what event I could blog about? Hrrm, maybe my big vacation of the year? Yeah.

So I'm going to Costa Rica tommorow, specifically Tamarindo on the Pacific side in the NW portion of the country. Flying on LACSA airlines between the big cities and then taking a taxi flight on Nature Air over to Tamarindo. We are staying at The Surf House[flash site] down there right on the water and near downtown Tamarindo. I can't wait.

The surf is pumping in Central America; the SW swell should build up to 12ft through Friday with fair conditions. I am kinda scared and kinda stoked to get on it, I wonder how this Cali surfer will fare in the 17s periodic surf on a point break with a rock bottom. Totally different than the 6s sandy bottom walled up Manhattan Beach and El Porto beach break.

I will most definetly post some of the more interesting pictures here when I get back .

Not totally offtopic, but I think my dad dent me this article about Hurrican Katrina and the horrible Red Tide we had last fall: St Petersburg Times Article (I don't even know where St. Petersburg is!).

My Yahoo! Answers Science Post

I am my dad's personal Yahoo! answers person when it comes to things science and physics. So when I received a question on the dual nature of light and matter, I wrote him back a nice long (LFP!) email in answer. I thought I'd share. Question: Sound travels in waves and needs an "ether" for transmission. Light is also a wave but doesn't need an ether. Is light in space "wave" or "particle"? because when light bends do particles bend or this this one of the examples of light as wave? Answer: Sound is a pressure wave. It is the compressing of molecules. It is the compression that is the sound. Light is a wave of electromagnetic fields, fields in this case being force representations. The light wave is a constant of nature in which a electric force changing will produce a magnetic force which will cause an electric force in a stable, repeating way traveling forward. There are other places where electricity creates magnetic forces and v

Tailgates

So, The University of Arizona basketball team is coming to Los Angeles this weekend to play USC and UCLA. Its been a tradition of our little AZ clique to go to the games for the last 5 years. However, UofA was a pretty good basketball team the majority of those years. Now with Rodgers gone, out of the top 25 rankings for the first time in 7-8 years, and Lute giving the kibosh on 3 point attempts (he should just tell Radenovich to stop shooting) things are swinging back into the LA team's favor. Which brings me to the issue of tailgates. It would be nice to actually have a truck to go to the basketball games and put the tailgate down and sit and have a few beers and kick back. Well, I used to be able to do that. Alas, as bad luck would have it (with the help of a few boys from a local chop shop ) my tailgate on my pickup truck was stolen clean. In the place where I park my truck at night. I mean, I see CLKs, H2s, m3's and all sort of $$$ MB cars next to mine. And they have

xkcd

The webcomic xkcd was recently featured on a popular tech website which I frequent . The author spoke at mit about his life and writing (and was interuppted by students ), so I started reading the comic. Man, is it good. I just started reading them, and got lots of the way through. Then I realized that there is a second level of awesome, in the img alt text tags. And then I read most of them again. Some of my favs, in no particular order: http://xkcd.com/c181.html - Interweb Net Codes! http://xkcd.com/c113.html - Zeta Functions 4 Pres! http://xkcd.com/c128.html - :-( http://xkcd.com/c132.html - 4 d3w4rd <img alt="how many links is he going to inline?!" src="./holla.jpg">
