This is what your car will look like after you’ve driven for 3 hours in a snow storm. But if you’re like me, you probably enjoyed most of the drive!

No more nightly updates

I was very busy with packing for a trip last night, and couldn’t do my nightly update. I gave it some more thought and came to the conclusion that in all likelihood I couldn’t keep it up anyway. So, I’m going to stop calling them “night cap”s and just put a random post on whenever [...]

After buying an espresso machine recently, I thought I was all set for my caffeine fix. But I realized today that the other half of the equation is the grind otherwise you just can’t make good espresso. I got some stuff from a cafe nearby and the difference from the stuff I bought last week [...]

This morning I woke up to the same story as the past few days. Dead car battery, and the cold. And I followed my routine of hooking up the autostarter and giving the car some juice. Well, it turns out that the problem is just lousy batteries that the manufacturer put in the cars. People are [...]

This weekend I finally manage to jailbreak my iphone. The process is pretty painless, and is well documented on various sites; here, and here, for example. The best part of doing this is that I can now unlock features of the iphone that would normally be closed to me. I can now record video with the [...]

The other day I ran across this article while reading SciScoop. I found it worth a read. What’s more, it even explains some ideas in this post. Quantum Entanglement The quantum world is full of complementary variables such as position/momentum and wave/particle. The equations describing quantum mechanics are such that precise knowledge of one complementary variable precludes [...]

Girl (laughing): Hey, do you want some help with that? Guy: No, no, I’ve got to practice smoking. Let me do it. Girl: Seriously? You’re practicing how [...]
