Learning Part 2

Today was again a busy busy day. And sometimes I feel so torn about everything I want to learn and do and have fun with. I had class today, and a fellow student asked if working on figuring out how big/old the universe is would be something that a person with a doctorate in astrophysics would do. I almost laughed out loud. I used to think that tech had so many areas and possibilities, but it just doesn’t compare with the study of the universe. I mean, it’s huge. Working on the information for my presentation on LIGO gave me an inkling of a way I could work in an area that Einstein worked on, the study of gravitational waves in space. Discovering them, or the evidence of the gravity fluctuations in the universe because of huge events in space could be cool.

I also worked on some stuff again for the web and am learning more each day as I enjoy figuring out how to make things better and better here. I’ve changed the format and done some reading in the forums to improve it and make it more like I want it. Like putting up other pages behind it and linking in a bigger way to my own website.

I played with video creation some too. Have more to do but I did find a way to import video from a DVD and work on it in a video editing software such as windows movie player etc. So now I have one of my favorite scenes on video on my computer, the dance scene in Queen of the Damned.

And I’m tired so I’m going to bed now. :)

So much learned

Wow! I was looking at sample blogs and I just learned how to do some really cool things. Like linking to quizzes, posting answers to quizzes, linking to movies, and some other stuff. While I was doing it I was looking at other blogs on blogsome (this site) and found out for example why one of the options is to write pages (so you can have links off your blog pages for other stuff!) and it was just so much fun. For example here is something I found referenced on another blog that was just too funny to be believed. And educational too!

GSpot

In general I guess I just kind of screwed around. But while I was looking for things to alter my blog, make it unique and in general make it cooler, I did find awesome site for movies. Check out the one made from 24 clips - some very nice work that.

And then to be a complete show off I found a site that does blog “things” that you can take quizzes and then post them to your blog. Here’s what my brain pattern says about me:


Your Brain’s Pattern


You have a dreamy mind, full of fancy and fantasy.
You have the ability to stay forever entertained with your thoughts.
People may say you’re hard to read, but that’s because you’re so internally focused.
But when you do share what you’re thinking, people are impressed with your imagination.

And in case any one is interested, here is the one on what the keys to my heart are:


The Keys to Your Heart


You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.

In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored.

You’d like to your lover to think you are stylish and alluring.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was ruthless, cold-blooded, and sarcastic.

Your ideal relationship is open. Both of you can talk about everything… no secrets.

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

You think of marriage something you’ve always wanted… though you haven’t really thought about it.

In this moment, you think of love as something you thirst for. You’ll do anything for love, but you won’t fall for it easily.

That is enough geeky stuff for today - but be sure I’ll be playing around more. I’d really like to be able to make the movies like that are on that site, plus I have friends that do similar things where they take clips and combine them and set them to music. I’ll have to find sometime (oh yeah - ok) to try my hand at that because it is very very creative and cool.
