about me
I am struggling with sensory integration issues. So far, no silver bullets, but daily resistance training is very helpful.
When I get more on top of my health situation, through nutrition and 'sensory diet', I plan to be more active. Scientific and mathematical writing, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and bicycle touring are on my round-tuit list. The health problem is not who I am, but it is a big part of where I am coming from. I am a freethinker, who happens to believe in reincarnation; a science buff; and a Nature buff. I am also a serious whistler. I can do rapid double and triple tonguing, but it is difficult to control a trill. It would be fun to get together with some classical or Celtic musicians, and see what we can create together.

Climategate
(in Global Warming - The Lie)
I was mad as hell when I heard about George W's lying about WMDs in Iraq. And I've been mad as hell ever since I saw convincing evidence that Climate Alarmism is a gigantic fraud. By the way, this was before yesterday's Climategate revelations.

Re: Nan-Tennas: Nano antennas
(in General Physics)
"They can be tuned to take on energy in the form of heat or light from any source: ...Night sky...."
That sounds like a Second-Law violation to me. If the Night sky is cooler than your house, there's no way you can capture usable IR from there. discussion post on Fri, November 20, 2009 - 10:36 PM

Unintentional humor from His Goreness
(in Global Warming - The Lie)
Gore has no clue – a few million degrees here and there and pretty soon we’re talking about real temperature
This is mind blowing ignorance on the part of Al Gore. Gore in an 11/12/09 interview on NBC’s tonight Show with Conan O’Brien, speaking... read more discussion post on Tue, November 17, 2009 - 5:03 PM
My BlogThe way that we design quiet residential streets could be more efficient. The modified grid model is somewhat waseful--in terms of space, asphalt, and energy. A honeycomb approach--where each 'block' is an elongated hexagon--could handle the same traffic, with a slightly smaller paved surface area. The ratio of living space to car space would be slightly higher. The small triangles at the end of each 'block' could be planted with some attractive vegetation, to enhance property value... read more
The last Ice Age wiped out all of the coniferous trees in Finland. After the continental ice sheet retreated, trees from elsewhere--like the Scots Pine--gradually colonized the vacant niche. On a smaller scale, the same thing happened in many high mountain ranges of the Earth's temperate regions, including the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. We can learn a thing or two about climate change from Alpine dendrology.

There is a creative way for the Democrats to handle the Iraq War funding issue. Make the money contingent on Bush stepping down, enlisting in the U.S. Army, and serving in Iraq. Bush puts his neck where his mouth is, or else no more funding for the war. Think about it.

Vetoing the bill would not help Bush. If he does not sign a war-funding bill of some kind, then the war will automatically end when the money runs out. If Bush is the superpatriot he wants us to believe, and if he reall... read more
Usually I am more interested in learning about real science than in debunking junk science. However the subject of Bible codes came up on another board that I subscribe to, and I just had to respond. Here is some background info from the Wikipedia article on the subject:

Condos and PUD's are a form of home ownership that indirectly promotes energy conservation, because the population densities of condo complexes are greater than neighborhoods having only conventional, single-family houses. For an urban population of a given size, greater density means reduced transportation fuel use for commuters. Moreover sharing one or two walls with one's neighbors can decrease the amount of energy needed for heating and cooling.
