Wow
Sander just suggested the idea of painting a stegosaurus on the hood of my white Nissan.
SUCH a good idea.

P: “that’s really strange.”

P: “I agree. I’ll have an engineer call you.”
Mike D.: “okay. What’s the guy’s name who will be calling me?”
P: “Rob Schnieder.”
Mike D.: “Rob Schnieder’s going to call me?”

Whenever I’m wheeling a cart around the grocery store or the shop floor at work I am hard pressed not to kick off, jump on, and ride that cart for a few meters.
I hope I never grow out of this desire.

SKYLINE 7!
Congrats to everyone who pretty much slaughtered last week’s Houston Skyline and Satellite. Bonus points go to JesAbad for driving them roads the same day as the post went up. Also, Roland continues his undefeated record, correctly identifying both locations as within the milky way.
This week’s skyline is a bit different. It’s obvious that the skyline and satellite are of different locations, so we’ll skip the intermediate question.
WARNING: The answer may be in the comments, so don’t scroll down until you feel satisfied with your efforts.
First, identify the skyline. Bonus points if you can identify from where the photo was taken.
Now, try and identify the satellite.
HERE’S A HINT FOR THE SATELLITE IMAGE:
A,-B
A = the r value for the Ephemeris of MPO 69550 for April 15th 2006
B= the German alloy no. for Grade 2 commertially pure titanium with aSTM-B-specifications for general engineering.
Hint update (B is negative… I mistyped it the first time)
END OF HINT
Good luck!

Most of this weekend was spent healing myself from a cold. Naps and orange juice were plentiful, and laziness was extreme. BUT, one kickin’ thing did happen and that is that I painted my kiteboard.
Check out these photos.

My only concern is that I used spray paint, and I think hard-core boarding will pull the paint off the board. So I’d like to put some sort of coating on top that will prevent the paint from chipping off. Any suggestions?
In other news, I also attended the RPI class on Friday night. It was absolutely remarkable. The class dynamic was fantastic, the teacher was stellar, and my attention was kept for the full 4 hours. I have been in no class like it. I will definitely be applying for the program.
