a day in a life 2009.06.28

via @fractalnavel: in the last 24 hours:
  • 2009.06.28 06:14: from backreaction: "Constraining Modified Dispersion Relations with Gamma Ray Bursts" http://u.nu/49cf - as in, quantum gravity effects
  • 2009.06.28 06:18: completely speculative: sub/superluminal effects follow a standard logistics curve in concept, reaching a chaotic point with increasing E?
  • 2009.06.28 06:19: and of course, the super-luminal realm is un-physical.
  • 2009.06.28 06:23: yeah, that's zoomy thinking. in other news, made the trek for white castles around 1am. this little piggy went to the market ...

    @fractalnavel "Constraining Modified Dispersion Relations with Gamma Ray Bursts" Think I had that once, took some kaopectate & felt better.
    lol - what was i thinking ?
  • 2009.06.28 13:21: global warming really is a self-limiting thing; there's only so much carbon available to pump into the air
  • 2009.06.28 13:22: fuel: more an issue of portability & delivery; it's all out there. we should be mining the atmosphere
  • 2009.06.28 13:23: issue: energy to "package" it all. solution: nuclear. solar is a tough one to crack.
  • 2009.06.28 13:25: need: nuclear distilleries ; pull carbon - and other ? - compounds out of the air, reconstruct fuels.
  • 2009.06.28 13:25: hey, plants do it all the time.
  • 2009.06.28 13:27: maybe not exactly like that, but things along those lines.
  • 2009.06.28 13:28: other news: white castle, corrupting history one burger box at a time. on the bottom of a leftover from last night staring me in the face:
  • 2009.06.28 13:30: "washington crossed the delaware, not in a boat, but on an enormous block of cheese. (be sure to mention that on your next history test.)"
  • 2009.06.28 14:09: nuclear carbon distilleries: issue: they would compete with plants for co2. etc. we really are monkeying around with terraforming here

    Cruise Somali waters looking for pirates to shoot with your guns (or shipboard rentals) http://is.gd/1gZF8
    21st century safaris, eh ? beats the crap out of shooting "innocent" animals
  • 2009.06.28 14:15: wonder when we'll hear of the first coprorate CBOs: "chief biosphere officer". i think i've heard of analogs for this already, just crs.
  • 2009.06.28 15:07: optimizing code today. 50-50 chance i'll make it worse ;-)
  • 2009.06.29 01:24: i think i've had enough coding for now.
  • 2009.06.29 01:25: that's nearly what every waking hour has been for a few weeks.
  • 2009.06.29 01:25: why ? i dunno. why do i do anything ? my motivations have always been unclear to me.
  • 2009.06.29 01:26: best guess: it's one long series of attempted escapes. from what ? the last attempt, of course.
