      Foucault Pendulum

      October 5th, 2006 by mike d. in Geekdom, Quickthoughts

      Last night in my Dynamics class we solved for the lateral forces acting upon a pendulum.
      It was rather interesting. A guy named Foucault accomplished this in the late 1800’s and now the pendulum experiment shares his name.
      Read about Foucault Pendulums here.

      Rodent Update

      October 5th, 2006 by mike d. in House of Rock, Poetry

      currently eating: hardboiled egg

      First there was the mouse that mike d. caught
      the first from our rodent zoo
      When we opened the trap to let him free
      he jumped away like a kangaroo

      Then there was the mouse that Thomas caught
      he had tempted it with cake
      we drove a few miles to let him free
      just south of Mirror Lake

      Mouse #3 was caught in the morning
      so we put him in a large blue bin
      there were two when we came back later that night
      #4 must have fallen in

      Mouse #5 was caught by hand
      while Thomas was on patrol
      He was a baby mouse and was having trouble
      jumping back into the mouse hole

      Mouse #6 was caught the next day
      and I think we can all agree
      no one expected until the release
      #6 knew how to climb trees

      And now that Mouse #7 was caught
      in our haveahart trapping device
      The House of Rock is hopeful
      that we are now free of mice.
