First Light: June 2011
http://starcrosser.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 16, 2011. A total lunar eclipse occurred last June 16, 2011, and I was able to observe the astronomical event at the PAGASA Observatory inside the University of the Philippines Diliman campus. Together with some members of the UP Astronomical Society, we observed the eclipse - the first one in 11 years - at the sun deck of the observatory. The eclipse started around 1:25am and reached maximum at 4:12 am. Cross-posted at Kin's Ant Farm. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Popular Posts this Week.

Just Travellin Through: Train Station
http://justtravellinthrough.blogspot.com/2013/10/train-station.html
An attempt to log down the highlights of my odyssey. One never really ceases from exploration. Life is a journey. Enjoy the ride. Saturday, 5 October 2013. I don't know about you, but whenever I pass by a city I try to feel its vibe in the train station. The mood is somewhat exuded in the muted expressions of the locales going about their way. Of course it could just be me. Maybe I was just projecting to them my own sorrow. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Europe Backpacking 101 - Part 1. Its a year s...

First Light: Nvidia in Mars
http://starcrosser.blogspot.com/2006/03/nvidia-in-mars.html
Friday, March 24, 2006. I got a press release from Nvidia saying that NASA chose its graphics technology to reconstruct the imaging data sent by the two rovers currently roaming around Mars. Nvidia said that its graphics processing chips (probably the Quadro GPUs? Are used to visualize the Martian surface in 3D, allowing scientists to explore the red planet virtually. Now, if we can only challenge the Martians in Counterstrike. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Eric Weisstein's World of Astronomy.

I don't know what I may seem to the world, but, as to myself, I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me - Isaac Newton. Thursday, March 04, 2010. I miss the lad that I was when I first came there. Bright-eyed and bushy tailed, it seemed I had a game plan of how I would craft the future.
