Friday night was a pretty wild night at Turner Field in Atlanta.
Not only did the Pittsburgh Pirates walk away with a big 10-8 victory against the home standing Braves, one of their biggest fans, actor Michael Keaton, was on hand to lend his support and at one point even bothered to trash talk a heckler who has been on Andrew McCutchen’s case all night long.
Keaton, we should hang out sometime.

Totally… the truth needs little explanation.

When the University of Rochester’s Eric Mamajek tells other astronomers about the object he and his colleagues discovered about 430 light-years from Earth, they tend to be skeptical—very skeptical. And no wonder: What he’s found is a giant ring system, sort of like Saturn’s, but some 200 times bigger, circling what may be an exoplanet between ten and 40 times the size of Jupiter. If you put these rings in our own Solar System, they’d stretch all the way from the Earth to the Sun, a distance of 93 million miles (150 km). And what’s more, there’s evidence that the rings are sculpted by at least one exomoon—something that also happens at Saturn, but not remotely on this scale.

So these Maple helicopters were clogging my downspouts this morning.
I really dislike them…there were hundreds flying about a month ago and they sprout everywhere you don’t want them to.

Seriously, the Maples grow anywhere and everywhere.

If it wasn’t for the Internet and pictures like this, I would probably be punching more people in the face.

I’d like to be leading mechanical monsters this week. Instead I had to do Javascript.

JavaScript is a nightmare all it’s own.. http://wtfjs.com/
That’s why I built this.. http://www.magicjs.com/
Oh well, one does have the Internet full of mech monsters to peruse.

Mine’s in a PDF form. As in, “fill in these 6 numbers and the form will figure out the math for you”. (The form is to do with landfill operations and maintenance.) There are only a few places that needed math, but where it was needed, it instantly exceeded Adobe’s capability to set it up the easy way and so it just gave me a blank box and said “IDGAF, why don’t you go learn Javascript?”
For the price of the software, the form building/editing functions are not great either. I have a list of feature requests for Adobe. :P

More than six numbers in a calculation is unheard of these days but if that’s what all the cool kids are doing…
In related news… Adobe always leaves me with a wanting feeling.

They need to put a head on that cheetah, it’s a little freaky. The jumping is super cool though.
I think “controlled by thought” is a little misleading, I mean it’s just intercepting the electrical impulses the brain is sending to muscles that are no longer present. Saying it’s thought-controlled implies to me that it can be controlled remotely, like telekinesis. I actually think the truth is pretty interesting.
Apparently I’m feeling a little persnickety about language this morning.

True. The writers tend to put more fiction in this kind of science.
