Forever Space: You Will Never See the Dark Side of the Moon

http://foreverspace.blogspot.com/2007/02/you-will-never-see-dark-side-of-moon.html

Tuesday, February 13, 2007. You Will Never See the Dark Side of the Moon. Well, technically nobody will ever see the dark side of the moon, because no such thing exists. All sides of the moon receive sunlight, but there's still a side you will never see first-hand.unless you're an astronaut. On a lunar mission. It's the farside, not the dark side. The concepts are similar; the names are different. Oh well, I guess one side is better than no sides. This comment has been removed by the author.

Forever Space: Parallax

http://foreverspace.blogspot.com/2007/02/parallax.html

Saturday, February 10, 2007. One of the earliest arguments against the multi-dimensionality of outer space was parallax. It could've been the ruin of the Copernican Revolution. Parallax is the apparent shift in background (right hand) as the point of observation (head) relative to the observed object (left hand) moves. Copernicus resurrected the heliocentric (sun-centered) model. Parallax wasn't proven until 300 years after Copernicus's model. After all, if the earth is moving, the ground beneath the fal...

Forever Space: Finding North

http://foreverspace.blogspot.com/2007/02/finding-north.html

Monday, February 12, 2007. North It's the "never" in the mneumonic device "never eat spider webs," which translates as North East South West, or the compass directions in a clockwise motion. But where is it? North is north- yes, that's easy. It's where Canada is when you're stateside or the North Pole is when you're anywhere else. It's where birds migrate during the spring and summer and where chill winds from in the bleaker months. Where is north according to the sky? Polaris is very easy to find, even ...

Forever Space: March 2007

http://foreverspace.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html

Wednesday, March 21, 2007. The start of the spring season is far less romantic than the first bloom, the larking robin, or the shortening of sleeves and pant legs, exposing skin and luring your fancy. Instead, the vernal equinox (Latin for spring equal night) happened for only a minute or two, just 7 minutes past midnight today. That marked the moment the sun was directly over the equator, working its way back to the northern hemisphere. Sexy! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Alfred: News and Noise.

Tuesday, February 13, 2007. The Number of Galaxies in Nothing. Great if you have 6 minutes. Always one of my favorites, the image was my desktop background for a while.

nerds2words: iPod Alternatives

http://nerds2words.blogspot.com/2007/02/ipod-alternatives.html

Simplifying the newest in consumer electronics and computers for those of us who actually had a date in high school. Monday, February 5, 2007. With every new Apple innovation, the press tends to swab all over. The iPod is no exception. But if you're not feeling the Apple scene, you have options. It only works with Windows (at least for now), and while the size is nice, it's the only option you get (you can get an iPod with up to 80 GB for the same price). Creative Labs Zen Vision. Plenty of MP3 players a...

nerds2words: iPod Options

http://nerds2words.blogspot.com/2007/02/ipod-options.html

Simplifying the newest in consumer electronics and computers for those of us who actually had a date in high school. Monday, February 26, 2007. Previously I'd given you MP3 player options other than Apple. But iPods are the dominant players, so let's take a look at what options you have within Apple. Most important are the capacities and the price (which are closely linked). Be sure to compare your options below, but check out the specifications between them. 30GB (7,500 songs). 80GB (20,000 songs).
