“Saturn gets Edgy”
Author: mike d.

I love Phil Plait’s bad astronomy section of Discover. It is reliably filled with awesome information.

Take this article for instance. It talks a bit about Saturn’s rings and our somewhat unique orientation to those rings. Before you click over and read the article, take a guess as to how thick Saturn’s rings are.

Yay Space!

an interesting program.

The red ‘people’ can’t touch the ground. If they do, the program modifies the car slightly and tries again.

Extreme Sports Update

July 26th, 2005 by mike d. in A Day In The Life...

currently eating: grapefruit

Kiteboarding update: My Kiteboarding hero, Ryan Schenk (who will from now on be referred to as: Old Man Schenk), sent me an instant message last night informing me that he had done 20 foot jumps while kiteboarding yesterday. CAPS LOCK BRAVO Old Man Schenk. CAPS LOCK BRAVO.

I am excited for the day when I too will be able to perform such impressive stunts.

Unlike the Cape, CT has had very little wind over the past few days. I’ve been talking to an instructor and we’re going to try to set a lesson up as soon as the wind picks up. There will be kiteboarding, and it will be great.

Rock climbing update: Over the last few nights of climbing I have been able to consistantly perform on 5.11a at the gym. Soon I hope to tackle a few harder 11’s on my quest to 5.12
