Maybe I'll get my act together, and finally rise to that prominent pedestal I've aspired to for so long.
 (I've heard there is a vacancy for a 'world leader' nowadays; I'm thinking of applying.) - to note "{TLTE! webnote: entry #10

The only thing to which I am lacking of is time, ergo, my (failed) proposition to create ourselves a new "modernized" calendar. Since it would be too time-consuming to list everything that I am "hopefully" going to share with you all one day, here is but a single excerpt, from Jetty's Graffiti folder webnote {filed under: Share on TFP_>Artworks_>minutia alert} Thing to keep in mind is, I have a whole host of folders, subcategorizations, and ideas I'm culling / curating for future reference's sake. So, you can take the below, and x1000 a thousand, and be pretty aware of what I've been up to for about the past 4+ years, all around the web, in Smithsoian Magazine, and whatever films from the past 10 or so decades I've managed to get back up to speed with; enjoy. -- to note: #1 definitely decribes my current affliction  Graffiti click to show

Yikes! If I had many more parallel universe lives going on right now, which I very well may have but can't prove or disprove it, I would explore all those links simultaneously. As a start, I just found out that I like to play with typeface.

For me, crushes yes, crashes no. Now that I think of it, nothing can change your life. You live, things happen, you move in a direction, etc. To change anything you'd have to be able to go back and change something that already happened. I don't think you can change the future since whatever ends up happening was the future.

While playing around with the magnetosphere code, I found myself wondering what it would look like if I restricted the movement of the particles to the surface of a sphere. Well, it ended up looking like I thought it would. Pretty, but ultimately not an improvement. It looked a bit like the magnetic structure bucky ball pieces from a couple months ago. On a whim, I added a new vector which would cause the particles to swirl around the center of the sphere along a coded equator. I started to see hints of nice turbulence swirls so I kept at it. To help emphasize this effect, I modified the rotational vector to have three peaks so as you travel from the north pole to the south, you would pass through three bands of rotation. I also added a perlin noise vector to make the movements seem even more chaotic. [Below] is the most recent video. The brighter dots represent the positions of the main particles. In order to make it look a bit cloudier, I started using the midpoints between nearby points. If two points have a distance of less than 100, I draw a fuzzy texture between them whose size and alpha are inversely proportional to the distance. So as the distance between two particles decreases, the fuzzy texture gets larger and brigther. Because of this, the ‘clouds’ can appear and disappear as the main particles drift about. Here is another version where I am using simple gradient ellipses.

OK, on the Nancy question I'll be Frank since I liked his singing and acting.
My wife said I was "hot" but I think she's feeling vibes from radioactive decay:  A main source of the 44 trillion watts of heat that flows from the interior of the Earth is the decay of radioactive isotopes in the mantle and crust. Scientists using the KamLAND neutrino detector in Japan have measured how much heat is generated this way by capturing geoneutrinos released during radioactive decay. See ya later, I'm going to try to catch some geoneutrinos now. |

Are these geoneutrinos
what require us to enjoy our heat - radioactivity? Novel idea, too far outside my knowing to try to think so.

Interesting note from above:
Meyoko discovered her passion for her art in France, she subsequently studied in Paris and began illustrating. Teenage angst and other turbulent times caused her to move to Berlin. |

By spending about two hours (at first) this past weekend discovering what a danbooru is, I've come to learn a tiny bit more of internet history.
+ bonus  This image? Besides being cool... (I like attention to detail in the mundane) and wasting away in my TLTE! Blog folder webnote for the past few months ... I've also found the sauce, using what else, but something else I happened upon this weekend.

mundane, as well as relatively expensive due to the environmentally toxic properties now associated with that shiney stuff. Talk about environmentally toxic, I've been predicting your presence in the who will post next thread and your absence is becoming a toxic liability to my credibility....excuse my rambling and don't take it personally, I was just trying to use some words with "y" in them.

My first job was working in an orange juice factory, but I got canned because I couldn't concentrate.
Then I worked in the woods as a lumberjack, but I just couldn't hack it, so they gave me the axe. After that I tried to be a tailor, but I just wasn't suited for it. The job was only sew-sew anyhow. Next I tried working in a muffler factory, but that was exhausting. I wanted to be a barber, but I just couldn't cut it. I attempted to be a deli worker, but any way I sliced it, I couldn't cut the mustard. I studied a long time to become a doctor, but I didn't have any patience.

That reminds me of a date I had many years ago. We went to a dinner theater, sat down with a few others who got there early, started eating munchies and a couple drinks. As time passed, the play wasn't starting yet and we were starting to wonder what's the delay. We eventually figured out that the "cast" was dispersed throughout the audience and we were actually in the play. I liked it, although she was painfully skinny and I wished she'd eat more.
