Quantum Story by Jim Baggott

Posted By Darian Rachal
If the history of quantum physics interests you at all, I highly recommend this book. It goes into a bit more depth than most of the popular books on the subject. Came across this while scanning the new book section of the local library. smile

APOD 8-15-2011(Photo from Mars)

Posted By Darian Rachal
It never ceases to amaze me, these shots from the surface of Mars. It's almost as if someone is standing taking a photo of the landscape. smile

IMO, this and similar activities are some of the most interesting things that NASA is doing today.

Something to ponder

Posted By Darian Rachal
O LORD, you have probed me and you know me;
you know when I sit and when I stand;
you understand my thoughts from afar.
My journeys and my rest you scrutinize,
with all my ways you are familiar.
Even before a word is on my tongue,
behold, O LORD, you know the whole of it.
Behind me and before, you hem me in
and rest your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
too lofty for me to attain.

Psalms 139: 1-6

Auburn/UT State

Posted By Darian Rachal
Sad that UT State flubbed the onside kick by Auburn. cwy I have nothing against Auburn(unless they're playing LSU), but I like to see underdogs win. BYU handed it to Ole Miss and Boise handed it to GA. Do like the Bulldogs uniforms. smile

Plastic Models?

Posted By Darian Rachal
Just curious if anyone else is interested in putting plastic models together? When I was a teenager, back in the mid-late '60s, I enjoyed putting together WWII aircraft. Monogram was the brand I preferred because they made models with folding wings, retractable landing gear, movable flaps, and models that dropped bombs.

I just recently ordered a Revell 1/48 scale WWI Fokker Triplane and purchased a magazine called 'Fine Scale Modeler'.

Is this a hobby anyone else pursues?

Obama's 'Job Speech' this Thursday

Posted By Darian Rachal
Anybody looking forward to any great pronouncements coming from the "Idiot in Chief" this Thursday evening? shocked I'm almost tempted to watch just to see what kind of crap he spews; it might actually provide some entertainment in an odd sort of way. :S

It reminds me of people here in Louisiana everytime the LA Legislature goes back into session, expecting something significant to occur, when actually they are doing nothing more than just 'poking around' in a pile of s*** with a stick. sad

It's a sad, sad situation with Obama. cwy

Obama at bat

Posted By Darian Rachal
Hope this is not something old I'm putting up here, but I think this is somewhat humorous.
