Wednesday 06
Jan. 6th, 2010 11:40 pmWednesday 06- I did my stretches, ran a mile, lifted weights, and rode my bike.
Today’s Weather was: Temps of around 39 and 62 degrees, slight breeze, humidity around 31 percent, clear skies.
According to the National Weather Service: “Thursday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 63. North wind between 3 and 7 mph. Thursday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 38. Calm wind becoming west northwest around 5 mph.”
I did a few chores around the house and continued to sort through stuff, a slow process, while doing security updates on the Lenovo Netbook and installed Firefox with Flashblock, Adblock Plus, Xmarks, and Avast anti-virus. I also practiced my guitar.
I went on my evening walk listening to a new Astronomy Cast lecture: Ep. 158: Pulsars which was very interesting especially about Magnetars that can send out powerful bursts Electromagnetic Eadiation like X-rays and gamma rays that can cripple satellites.
I went over to Stoney’s to help him finish off the SOS (chipped meat in gravy on top of toast).
I got back home to read aloud from the textbooks: “Astronomy Today” about Molecules and the three ways they emit photons: Electron Transitions, Vibration, and Rotation. “The Cell: a Molecular Approach” about Subcellular Fractionation; putting a bunch of cells through a blender, then on a centrifuge for various amounts of time to separate out the larger organelles from the smaller ones.
I watched “The Human Spark” series on PBS where Alan Alda is on a search to find out just when we humans became different from the other animals.
I finished the evening reading “The Letters of Richard Feynman”.
I did my stretches and went for a night run; practiced my guitar; wrote to my journal, posted it to the web, and called it a night.
