honk

I was relaxing in the bar, calmly enjoying my beer. Outside, the traffic was horrible. The intersection was almost blocked and the drivers were angry. A car blew its horn. I thought I saw the lights in the bar blink. It was obviously just a brain glitch. Surely the lights can't dim when a car is honking outside, can they? A great thought came to my mind. What if they actually could? I mean, when a lightning bolt hits a powerline or transformer station, the lights most certainly blink. They dim a little. The same thing happens when someone in the building is welding - the welder draws a lot of current so the line voltage decreases significantly. The question is, when a tram or trolleybus or even a train goes past the building, does it create enough of a disturbance for the lights to noticeably blink? In most cases, I guess it doesn't. But do the lights blink unnoticeably? Possibly. It's not necessarily an electrical disturbance that can cause the lights to blink. Air currents for instance do modify the light output of all devices, be them incandescent lamps, fluorescents, LEDs, whatever, simply because light output is dependent on temperature, no matter how slightly. Me shouting at the lightbulb can potentially alter its output. By how much, that's another discussion. It's certainly not noticeable, but is it measurable? If it's not directly measurable, is it at least statistically measurable? How many photons a second does a lightbulb's output vary with when a car honks outside? I don't know. Fewer than air currents cause? Electrical disturbances from people turning their TV on or off in the next building? I don't know. It's an interesting thought. My guess is about 5.

cheers.

February 23 - October 28 - 8 months of bits - 500 chars max.
(I wanted it to be lowercase but the template capitalized it, and I was too lazy to change it.)
Why exactly October 28th and not, for instance, October 23rd so there would be exactly 8 months? For that matter, why 8 months and not 6, half an year? Because.
Cheers et cetera.
Now that this note has been posted and the toast has been made, hm. Wish bits 8 more months of success.

beer

The dentist fixed my teeth, I had a nice walk in the park, dark skies, cold winds, beer with mr Wacky. Which reminds me. Some time ago, while working in the lab, I decided to inquire mr Wacky as to the possibility of having a beer with me that evening. So I opened the messenger window and just stood there questioning the wisdom of such a decision. I was after all, quite tired. And then mr. Wacky read my mind and asked me out for a beer in the same window, 1 minute later. Now that's cool. I have to research that some time.

alcohol

alcohol is seriously damaging to thy health, or so the warnings say. and i must say i fully agree. i mean... after the operating systems exam, i reached into my pocket for my subway access card, and the pen that i was keeping there pierced my finger. now i got a trv kvlt tatoo, unvoluntarily. but, and that's a big butt, i also burned my fingers with the soldering iron recently, pierced my skin with wire accidentaly on two occasions, and cut myself with an unknown object at an unknown moment. Overall, that has to be more damage than drinking 10 beers. BUT, while dizzy from too much beer, i bit the inside of my cheeks, and that DAMN eFFing HURTS!
Alchool is bad for your health. There. I said it.

so high i'm intangible

last night i dreamt i was hanging aroung with some friends whom i don't know in material life and getting high. then the cops came and we all went to jail. they went to jail as convicts, i went to jail as a visitor. it was a cool jail, more like a youth hostel. quite nice. friendly people there. all nice people. i must have travelled through time itself to the year 4096. in a dream.

neaţa

that means mornin' and it's my std "hi dudes".
ay! it's my blog, and you will respect my authoritah!
good.
i'll tell you about my findings about the universe, about total nonsense and, of course, about ME because i love myself.
once i drank too much and the room started spinning. around me. i got out of the toilet and the hallway was spinning. around me. the whole building was spinning. around me. got out into the quiet night, felt the cool, soft breeze, and the full moon was spinning around me. the stars were spinning around me. than it all became clear. my theories came to be confirmed. i was right after all. i'm the center of the universe.
