Feb. 22nd, 2005 05:07 pmThis has been a blah.. afternoon. The morning was good though; I got stuff accomplished. Ordered two books, bought knee pads and ordered a new bike light bracket - I broke mine when I came of on the snow. Or rather, when I was trying a nifty rear-wheel skid on the snow.
Last night was the first one spent working at the ski-slop. Unlike ski equipment, snowboard stuff is gratifyingly simple. The person tell you what size boot they want, what length board they want and whether they ride regular or goofy. Easy! Aside from the fact that a bunch of the Monday regulars are deaf. I just checked out how to indicate numbers in British Sign Language - that should make things a bit easier next week.
This week's fleeting intellectual interest... nuclear weapons. Actually, the technology behind them is interesting and the physical processes that occur in the first miliseconds after one is detonated are fascinating and very complicated. See here.
It's just a pity they have no use whatsoever that couldn't be considered morally repugnant. Even so-called killer asteroids can be better dealt with by ways other then nukeing them, according to current thinking.
