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.

My understanding is that the HP is essentially a closed system *with respect to gases*. The ABSOLUTE humidity is higher indoors than outdoors, because I'm having so much fun inside. When that higher-humidity air comes into contact with cooler part...

Re: Nan-Tennas: Nano antennas
(in General Physics)
Wet-Blanket Larry's stoopid question of the day:
Do nanotennas really give greater length-efficiency for energy capture than larger antennas? In any antenna that's sufficiently long, the EM radiation will induce an AC voltage. My imperfect under... read more discussion post on Fri, December 11, 2009 - 4:14 PM

Megan,
Thanks for bring up the topic. I have an outside Heat Pump that's more energy-efficient than natural gas, in California's Central Valley. One problem is that the HP--unlike your gas furnace--*directly* sucks water out of the air. And ... read more discussion post on Fri, December 11, 2009 - 4:40 AM
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.
