#2560.      DataPacRat. That's his virtual identity - real name is Daniel Boese, a Canadian. I know, nobody thinks a Canadian can be brilliant, but this one is. I run across him on the Internet about once every five years and discover an amazing jungle of content, more stuff than I could ever even absorb, much less create. I call it a jungle because you just keep going deeper and deeper into directories and subs- until it's hard to find the way out. Not to mention the over-my-head part. Anyway, the most interesting thing (to me) was this .. copy/pasting:

Anonymous 03-24-2005 at 05:25:20 PM We all know that time-travel can be tricky when calendar systems change; switching from Julian to Gregorian was bad enough, but there are leap-seconds, "there is no year 0", and other annoyances, even without jumping to Hebrew, Islamic, Chinese, or less well-known dating systems. And so, for all you prospective time-travelers, I offer this possibility for thought: Instead of worrying about all of the above, simply count the number of seconds from a well-defined reference point - let us say, the first man-made nuclear blast at Trinity.

Also, I'm attaching a few oddly standard time periods; I checked with Google, and it seems I'm the first person to ever write 'exaweek' online.

I wanted to share this (again) because it is the sort of thing that puts me in a Time Mood where I can (try and) think far-out stuff. Like that post awhile back which I've got to get back to and make more sensible. Also, Daniel mentioned that he was the only person in electrons to use the word "exaweek." I searched Google, and he still was. Of course, I always have to correct Google: NO, Google, please pay attention, -"exam week". Wish they would personalize their fancy schmancy algorithms a little more, short of draining my life energy and stealing everything I have, that is, e.g., Rick wants exactly what he typed, nothing more or less. Oh, they're evil all right; they just think we're too dumb to realize it yet. By the way, remember googlewhack? I got up to 7th in the world and stayed there quite awhile until I realized it was devouring my life. Just think how many points you could run up with exaweek. Two of us now. * Yes, for the many readers who may have noticed, this was a re-run. It was about to scroll of the current page into nothingness, i.e., archives. Again.Rick Macherat Rick M.

Post  #2598.   From other thoughts.     I was looking at paper towels on the Staples site. When I've run out of places to find something, Staples often has it. If only I would remember to look there first. Not important. Anyway, Eighty-eight people took the time to write a review of the paper towels. Can you believe it? Furthermore, I took the time to read some of them, first the good, then the most favored of the bad. Yes, they rated them. All in all, buying paper towers from Staples is about a 30% risky idea. Stick with WalMart. (I suspect they write their own reviews anyway.)

I other shopping news, I bought some 3XL T-shirts somewhere online. I like them very large so when they shrink they remain roomy. I am not really a 3XL. However, that purchase put me on one of those amazing new lists as a fatty, so I now get several catalogs devoted to Things for the Fat. I don't mind all that much to be honest as some of the items are pretty interesting. Take this camping chair:



Now, I wouldn't have thought that eight-hundred pound people went camping, but evidently thay do. Enough of them, in fact, that a market is emerging for things they need for such an activity. How about these days, huh? Eight-hundred pound people at the campground.Rick Macherat Rick M. In the day.

Post  #2597.   The tsunami.     Most people don't realize just what a disaster the rubble from last year's Japan earthquake and tsunami is going to make for the west coast. We recognized it at once - after all, who hasn't picked up a sake bottle fish float on Washington's coast? Also, our last Big One caused a tsunami to hit their coast 312 years ago. By "we," I means people who live in Washington and Oregon for the most part, a goodly number of whom are going nutso over this,



plus the rest of us who will fret a lot but not do anything. Maybe in the long run if and after we clean it up, attention will turn to the monstrous garbage dump in the North Pacific generally.

The other day, an article in the paper reported a study which claimed children of older fathers lived longer. Another study published today claims that children of older fathers are more likely to develop Alzheimer's Disease. Quite a double dose of news for today's FICA generation, huh?

Finally, in today's adoption column, Annie was the child of the week. I'd love to show her picture, but you'll have to use your imagination. The pitch said, "Patient, acccepting and nurturing mom and dad who can provide a stable, consistent, secure environment with clear rules and expectations and willing to participate in family counseling." Translation: This kid is a hellion. Please take her while we still have a building and anyone left working here!!Rick Macherat Rick M. In the day.

Post  #2596.   News from Los Angeles.     A pair of lungs was found on a sidewalk in Los Angeles today. An LAPD spokeswoman stated that as far as she knew, this was the first set of lungs found on a sidewalk in the city. (It was not immediately ascertained whether lungs had been found elsewhere, such in the street, up trees, etc.)

Elsewhere, the Tahoma School District changed its hours. This is Tahoma, not Tacoma. Tahoma is located closer to the boonies and is named for what the Original Peoples really called Mt. Rainier, just so you know. Anyway, they're going to dismiss school 90 minutes early on Fridays next academic year to give teachers Professional Development Time. Friday afternoons. Professional Development Time. Yeah right. How about Get Out of Town and Beat the Traffic on Weekends Time?

Speaking of the boonies, the state plans to pave the road which leads to the middle fork of the Snoqualmie River. You'll remember this one - it floods first. Some people have already registered objections concerning a feared influx of urbanites, city folk. Probably not unlike the objections (which weren't registered) by the locals (Indians) when we built the existing road. This paving job will take about two years. Interesting. I was watching a program on the building of the Alcan highway during the early part of World War Two. Didn't take two years before the first trucks were rolling through. Transcontinental railroad neither, though that one was interrupted by a war.Rick Macherat Rick M. In the day. Gabriel Macht

Post  #2595.   A transit of Venus.     Imagine. Tuesday's transit is only the eighth since the invention of the telescope and the last until December 10-11, 2117. I didn't see it.

Post  #2594.   An aberrant right subclavian artery.      You can find anything on the Internet. I could stay out there forever.

Anyway, The aberrant right subclavian artery frequently arises from a dilated segment of the proximal descending aorta, the so-called Diverticulum of Kommerell. Would that make a terrific location for a sci-fi story or what? The leader, or Diverticulus would be a very scary individual indeed.
