Pete Higgins claims that as a child growing up in Boyle, "I never even caught a glimpse of any mysterious objects." Follow with him now as he presents "an open minded glimpse into the notion of belief and skepticism in a small Irish Community.*"

Happy Tesla Day! - July 10th

Nikola Tesla
Inventor, Engineer (c. 1856–1943)

Serbian-American inventor Nikola Tesla was born in July of 1856, in what is now Croatia. He came to the United States in 1884, and briefly worked with Thomas Edison before the two parted ways. He sold several patent rights, including those to his alternating-current machinery, to George Westinghouse. His 1891 invention, the "Tesla coil," is still used in radio technology today. Tesla died in New York City on January 7, 1943. [biography.com]

You stroll into the classroom and notice there is something odd about the place. All the window blinds have been pulled down; transforming what was once your window to the outside world into a wall of dimly glowing amber. Only half the banks of overhead florescent lights are lit. You are about to learn that very soon even those will be extinguished. Looking to the front of the room you see the chalkboard is now shrouded in a bright white sheet of reflective glass beads. You turn to check the rear of the room and discover that magnificent marvel of modern mechanics; that beautiful beast by Bell & Howell. You know what this means...

Yes boys and girls it's "Movie Day!" So come on in and take your seats. No, this will not be a gonorrhea prevention message... No, this will not be a romp through old growth forests showing how they turn a majestic redwood into a toothpick... Sorry but this is not even - and I know it is your favorite - "The Life Cycle of a Water Droplet." No class, today we have a very special animated film from Disney Studios that I am sure you will find both entertaining and educational. If you don't want to watch the movie you may put your head down on your desk (please try not to drool on your textbook; snoring will not be tolerated.) - There will be no talking or I will stop this projector and you will all do worksheets - Suzie will you please turn out the lights - 

Sit back, relax and enjoy the show...

In this day and age we take for granted that Computer Generated Imagery is likely behind the special effects we see in movies and on television. The video below illustrates how with ingenuity and coordination, riggers and grips can still blow our minds.

You will probably need to view this a couple of times to follow all that is going on here.

wikipedia says:

A catchphrase (or catch-phrase) is a phrase or expression recognized by its repeated utterance. Such phrases often originate in popular culture and in the arts, and typically spread through a variety of mass media (such as literature and publishing, motion pictures, television and radio), as well as word of mouth. Some become the de facto "trademark" or "signature" of the person or character with whom they originated, and can be instrumental in the typecasting (beneficially or otherwise) of a particular actor.

According to Richard Harris, a psychology professor at Kansas State University who studied why people like to cite films in social situations, using film quotes in everyday conversation is similar to telling a joke and a way to form solidarity with others. "People are doing it to feel good about themselves, to make others laugh, to make themselves laugh", he said. He found that all of the participants in his study had used film quotes in conversation at one point or another. "They overwhelmingly cited comedies, followed distantly by dramas and action adventure flicks." Horror films, musicals and children's films were hardly ever cited.^[1]

Not long ago, I added a new feature to this website called "Astro Pic of the Day." This addition is visible right now in the left-most column of the home page and brings you the daily photo displayed on NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day page.

Thanks to some creative coding and the services of InfinitelyRemote.com I have been able to harvest NASA's daily image and present it here. I encourage you to click on those daily images to see them in their High-Rez splendor and read their descriptions for a very interesting look into the universe in which we live. In the words of the NASA source page:

Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer.

Today's offering was a very interesting video feed that shows a real-time view of the Earth from the ISS (International Space Station.) Not wishing to lose such an awesome "Window on the World," I have chosen to share it here:
