charlottesville police lady rocks a "cha-ching" for the camera while writing a ticket

Parking on some frat kid's lawn - $20
Tickets to the game - $50
Police lady writing a ticket, dancing, and rocking a "cha-ching" cause your lazy butt couldn't find a parking spot.... priceless (+$15 and towing fees...)

(and yeah, I put her up to it, we were both laughing pretty hard - thank you Ma'am for being a good sport)

mexican jesus

His name is Jesus - as appears on his name tag. On his helmet, where many others put their names for clear view, he has typed "Mexican." That's right- he's our Mexican Jesus... but seriously ya'll as our nation debates as to "what to do with all these immigrants" I would encourage the following line of reasoning these "Mexicans" are vastly more "American" than your average honky walking on the street. Their ancestors were here 25,000+ years before most of the people reading this got here. Jesus here speaks some of the original Aztec language... how many "Americans" speak ONE WORD of native tongue. Most "Americans" have been in the USA less than 100 years, and are now trying to perform a repeat of the conquistadors actions. Viva la revolucion, and to all you "Mexicans" - please move to Charlottesville. We need more of you. Ya'll are way cooler than most of these immigrants from the North.

Para aquellos hablando espanol - por favor vengan todos a Charlottesville, Virginia -es la mejor ciudad en EEUU- ademas todo el mundo habla un poco de espanol aca. Hay de buen trabajo, la tierra es buena para la agricultura, la gente es bastante rica, y la clima es excelente - siqguen rockirollando amigos ;)

quick chemistry video

Well thanks to VMD, Pubchem + Pubchem Edit + Blender 3d + Biocyc.orghere's a test video of a hypothesized cannabigerolic acid synthase (aka the geranyl diphosphate transferase) that converts olivetolic acid (painted in blue + gray) into cannabigerolic acid (painted with red) need to get the gpp in there correctly and for those who must know the protein is 1U0V - I picked it for a couple reasons, however it's sorta silly cause it hasn't been structured. It's for illustration.

Charlottesville Community Bikes, Aluminum Foundries, and Bling

Had a rad time at the Cville community bike shop this weekend. We melted a bunch of aluminum and one lucky gal got some handmade hard core bling for her wheelz. And every one got to hear a bunch about aluminum, aluminum oxide, steel, slag, and a bunch of other stuff that makes the whole thing so what it is... rad.


Here's a video of the whole thing... may have said aluminum oxide 10+ times... ah well.... metallurgical chemistry = BONUS!

our daily bread board

Today working for the third week on the Arduino Diecimila chip - combined with a GM862 and a one-wire temp sensor -

From Our Daily Bre...

and so now I gotta connect that diecmila on the left to the one wire sensor to the 50 pin break-out board to get a SMS message to a buddy when the temperature drops below 26 degrees farenheit.

The software employed is arduino sdk and the One wire + arduino tutorial

taste of eli cook + some train graffiti

walking down the tracks to see eli cook rock out durty nelly's passed a train with almost 50 cars in a row of awesome tag art + graffiti - a mobile museum, festival of colors - wait until the end to see this really gnarly chick painted in amazing detail....

the track is light that gasoline from eli cooks new album electric holy fire water

it's what those of us who dig eli's rock blues van halen meets muddy water have been waiting for.... and well worth the wait. dead man is an awesome fist pounder boot stomp and santeria shakedown is straight badass.... eli's only getting better, badder, and radder - maybe we'll get a rundmc aerosmith moment one of these days... here's hoping

android v1

android rocks - a fun sdk with simple plugins to eclipse. brief little tidbit - the subclipse plugin is great too

to get svn access in eclipse get the subclipse svn plugin

be careful when installing to avoid buckminster & mylyn errors - all you need to do is click into the plugin to get to the second menu where those dependencies are visible. there's a forum thread somewhere on this - can't find it now.... it's the second step in the plugin installation process though...

after that you can access it by right clicking on your source , go to the "team" menu and "share" button -

http://code.google.com/p/aloha-bambi/source ='s all the rest of the instructions for getting svn access...

get your password that google creates for your code, and you're done
