LHC

For more then 20 years now scientists have been working on the Large Hadron Collider. Just a few days ago on the 8th of September they finally turned it on. And so far it has yet to produce a black hole and destroy the planet, which is good. Basically they are trying to determine some things about how the universe operates, how its made up, so we can better understand things. You know, simple stuff, antimatter and the like.

Anyhow, I know its a few days after turn on, but I have a few things for you to enjoy. First off we have a comic from the nice folks at xkcd. You can see it here.

Next up we have a way for the modern kids to understand some science by trying to explain it through a popular music genre. You can go here and watch it.

And finally if you want to visit the official looking website and learn about it, go ahead and look here.

Its great when we use science to smash things open.

Set Back

So there has been some minor set backs to things. Yesterday when I tried to boot up my computer it died on me. Now granted it was about 7 years old and had been moved around a lot. It was running slow and I had wanted to get a new computer for a while now. So we set out to get a new computer.

Last night we brought it home and set it up. I was installing some stuff like firefox and office and shut it off for the night. Then I couldn't get it to load up again. If the power cord is attached the fans will run, but I can't get it to begin to boot up.

I went to the compaq website and ran through their trouble shooting options and have sent them an email to try to get more information about this. So right now I'm running off of my laptop.

I will get more stuff up when I can

Stand Back!

I'm going to try science!
