In an earlier post, I described how computers can tell that you worked a long day, you’re still working late, you’re deprived of nutrition, and they see it’s time you need a what the hell?! wake-up call. That time it reported there were about the 4.3 trillion emails in my outbox.
Last night, it was a Preference Panel that monitors the internal sensors of this Mac G5 DualCore, with this specific menu reporting temperatures and fan speeds. The 151° temp displayed at the top, in blue, is actually reporting the same Backside temperature as the top menu listing right below it — or at least they should be. The 151° listed is obviously the correct one, since the smoke alarms are silent.

From the time a baby is born, to sometime before they learn to speak, they still remember where they came from … and I’m not referring to the womb. I mean the place before that — that place we return to when we leave these cheap, humanoid housings behind.
And that’s why babies cry so much: they are totally bummed when they get here, and want to go back. But by the time they can speak, those memories have been overwritten by Tipsy-Aunt-In-Your-Face-Martha, Crazy-Uncle-Bad-Breath-Bob, and all the other Earth monsters.
Hell, maybe this is purgatory … uh?

Since the early-1950s, it has been common scientific knowledge that one in every four PAD clusters attached to each strand of DNA is constructed with a limited number of syllables available over a typical lifespan. These are the larger of the two DNA PADs, and commonly known throughout the scientific community as maxiPADs. It’s the smaller of the two, the miniPADs, which carry the unique, and often overlooked identifying punctuation. As is evident, this is rock-hard science broken down into a more granular form.

Besides a passion for all things photographic, as well as all things creative, I also have a love of science. And without highly-technical cameras, how could we ever understand or visualize what scientists and researchers uncover, discover or invent.
The Hubble Telescope was designed to get sharper celestial and deep-space images, due to the simple fact that it wouldn’t need to look through our dirty atmosphere. Yet besides the incredible images, no one ever imagined the additional contributions it would make to science — it was the Hubble that confirmed our universe is oval (and I thought it was square). The Hubble has been in the spotlight for a long time, but it’s only one of many intergalactic contributors.
Back on October 25, 1997, the Cassini-Huygens blasted off from Florida to begin its 6.5 year trip just to reach Jupiter, and then Saturn. Huygens’ photos have been unbelievable.
IT’S JUST OUR STAR, THE SUN
It’s a very simple photograph of the Sun. But as simple as this image is, it is like no other. The sun was photographed on January 14, 2005, from a location somewhere near Saturn. The timing was also unique.
Thank you for waiting. Please click the image of our sun now to see what it is that makes it so unique.
