Perspectives of a Canadian in the Old/Deep/New/Geographic South: This is where I ramble on about nothing in particular and post a few nice pictures.
Random mutterings
From this evening’s Barcamp Charleston planning session at Madra Rua.
The bottom half of BarcampCHS’s BFS
Outlined
First coat of paint applied
Now hopefully I’ll be able to make the top half line up with the bottom half.
This is the kind of thing that I see when I look around at things
Force vectors

Images and visuals pop into my head when I look at stuff. When I look at waves on the water, whether it’s in a pond, a river or out in the ocean, “Fourier Transform” always pops into my head. There are equations of motion when I look at moving objects., density and phase changes when I see crowds, the flow of air moving around something, sound waves bouncing off surfaces, electric and magnetic field lines (and all kinds of associated EM equations). I don’t see them in a literal sense, but in my head I see the patterns overlaid on top of what I see.
Activities like playing pool are an interesting exercise, although I have to say it hasn’t really helped improve my pool playing skills.
Well. It looks like I probably will not win at blood donating for this year’s contest.
Apparently I’ve become slightly anemic, which would probably explain why I’ve been feeling kind of run down and tired lately. Whether it’s from donating blood or some other cause I don’t know yet, but the doc says I should probably lay off on the donating for a little while at least and recover a bit.
Yay me!
I came in first place with 6 donations in the department blood donation contest that ended a couple of weeks ago. For my efforts I received this very spiffy looking plaque which is hanging on the wall in my office now (I had to move Brain to the bookshelf). For this year’s contest, I kicked off my efforts last week with my 50th donation since being in the US (up to about 82 since I started donating).
Woohoo!
