Feeling Sober (as in sad)

Once again, I am quite sorry that we (I) haven't posted in quite a while. (I mean seriously, my colleagues) Anyways, yesterday on the Today Show, the Teletubbies crew made an appearance. I thought it was rather interesting so here's a video.

When you were a small, little kid, did you ever make an imaginary spaceship that took you to the moon? Well I was taking out the trash and when I looked in the recycle bin, I saw my cardboard spaceship my brother and I made together. We made it out of a Gateway computer box and painted green spots here and there and rightly called it "the CowJumper." I think it had something to do with the cow that jumped over the moon and since Gateway boxes were white with black spots, like cows. Farewell dear spaceship. I had fond memories of traveling to the moon and meeting strange and funny creatures there. So that ends an era of space travel to the moon for my brother and I.

Also on a sober note, (I don't know if I should be talking about this). Have you ever been able to know your great-grandmother? I have known my great-grandmother.
You see, I'm from New York and I have a lot of relatives there and in the Philippines. Hmm, haven't told you I'm a New Yorker. Anyways, I've visited her in both places. And now, well... : (
She passed away a week or two ago. May God bless her.

Havent posted lately

As Ryan mentioned i havent posted in awhile and it isnt my fault. actually it is but i didnt know i would be grounded, so yeah. i got 69.8 (.2 off of a C) in history as i said on myspace, and my dad wont let me go below a C.

anywho... some ppl and i decided right before i lost my computer that it was ryan that posted that comment about being my fan and loving me, because nobody else is weird enough for those things to be true (much less say them on the internet). so mr. pedo i am srry i blamed you; however, you are still gross and scary and gay, so i still hate you.

DONT MAKE ME HIT YOU IN MY FACE

Just because this is about math and science does not make me a nerd

Well earlier this evening, I was watching "World News with Charles Gibson" (awesome show!). And I learned something new. We all know that Mount Everest is the highest point on earth relative to sea level. But did you know, that the point on earth that is closest to the heavens is believed to be Mt. Chimborazo in Ecuador. Mount Chimborazo, an inactive volcano, is the reportedly the farthest point from the center of the earth. This is because of the planet Earth's equatorial bulge, a term that explains the bulge at the equator. Earth is an "oblate spheroid." Or an "oblique speroid," which basically means it's fatter around the middle than it's tall. Okay here's a video of that from ABC News.

Since I'm talking about science and math stuff, I might as well tell about something else I've learned that's in that area.

On Wikipedia, there's this article about how .999... non-terminating, is the same as the number 1. Now I always thought .999...non-terminating was just that. The article showed proof, and this one fraction proof went like this:
.333...non-terminating is equal to 1/3. 1/3 multiplied but 3 is equal to
[3 times 1] /[3]. And that equals 1.

I sort of get that but this new idea made me think:

1 divided by 9 is .111...non-terminating, 2 divided by 9 is .222...non-terminating, and so forth. So then 8 divided by 9 is .888...non-terminating, but what is 9 divided by 9? 9 divided by 9 is 1. 9 divided by 9 is 1 (ONE) and not .999...non-terminating!

Now I'm not sure if that idea has been used before; I'm sure it has.



That's it for now.

Later...non-terminating

Not Everyday

If any of you have been reading this blog, you would have noticed that there have been no new posts in the last couple of days. Now the blog's subtitle is "Daily life, musings, and other possibly boring things ...." It is no guarantee that I or my colleagues will post everyday but at least I will try to. As for my colleagues, they can post irregularly.

Anyways, a lot of things have been going through my mind.

Have you ever realized that if you collected all the lint that goes through your dryer for a long period of time, you could sew it all together and make a sweater? I just realized that after cleaning out the dryer's lint compartment and I felt the texture and feeling of the lint.

Later...
