Hello, Strangers! Remember me? I've fallen behind on my blogging because of some minor bugs that are being worked out by some spectacular people who host my space at Weebly.

It happens.

Life still happens.

Great things still happen.

Life is still grand!

My world still rotates on a gravitational field built on scifi, gaming and zombies!

I have so many updates for you including books, comics, new TV series, new movies, new cosplay I have put together but haven't had the opportunity to wear, games (PC and console), new apps, iOS7, iPhone 5, places I've been, physical changes (HAIR!!) and more.

Mostly, this beautiful Xbox One: Day One Special Edition, which I have not opened. So be prepared for the unboxing, initial thoughts, first gameplay with Call of Duty: Ghosts and more.

I look forward to jumping back in here and telling you where I've been lately! Here are some hints on a few things I will be sharing.

LL&P!

This Is Still A Fact

This is a excerpt from a blog I wrote a really long time ago. It is so cute! It still holds true and I can actually add even more geeky gaming references to it now.

In my perfect world, I would live in a medieval fair in space. I would be consistently bombarded with big red and green mushrooms popping out of bushes that give me 1up or make me larger than life to beat down my enemies. I would have an array of weaponry with multiple ammo clips. Better yet, I would have never-ending ammo (or a code to get it). I would have a kick ass pouch full of potions and mana. I would drive a $500,000 sports car, run people over daily and never get into trouble. Lastly, I would carry Links sword and reside on my living ship, Moya.

Wordle Equals Random Fun

I unlocked my Twitter account from the private setting this week for the first time in a several long months. This allowed me to do all those annoying tests through 3rd party companies with stats on my account.

Here are some examples stats:

My Official Stats: on Jan 23, my tweets have reached 20184 readers, 439 of them unique. by http://TwitterAnalyzer.com

(that is a lot of people for one day!)

My Twitter value is $192.12, according to http://www.twalue.com ... What about yours? #twalue

As I searched for a "word-cloud" to show my most commonly used words, I found a really cool site called Wordle. http://www.wordle.net/

It is not only used for Twitter, but many more creative ideas will spring to mind as you get used to the simple in site Java program. Basically, it is a photo that you design with the most common words from anything you choose. Options include colors, word layout, font and language. The few I created are very basic but you can do much more if you take the time to design it. Using a poem, book and even using this for classroom or for work can be a great way to grab the attention of the readers. I used the "Open In Window" option to make it fullscreen and took a screenshot. You can also save your masterpiece to the gallery they have on the site.

And, yes, it is free!

Discovery: First Photograph of a Snowflake

1/22/2011

No two snowflakes are alike -- but how do we know this? Well, the answer comes from Wilson A. Bentley's late-19th century photomicrography of snowflakes.

A Vermont farmer, Bentley became fascinated by the crystalline structure of snowflakes as a child and began experimenting with trying to capture the singular shape of a snowflake under a microscope with a bellows camera -- the contraptions with a folding box of pleated material between the lens and film.

"Under the microscope, I found that snowflakes were miracles of beauty; and it seemed a shame that this beauty should not be seen and appreciated by others. Every crystal was a masterpiece of design and no one design was ever repeated. When a snowflake melted, that design was forever lost. Just that much beauty was gone, without leaving any record behind," Bentley is quoted by the Jericho Historical Society.

During a snowstorm on Jan. 15, 1885, Bentley became the first person to ever photograph a single snowflake.

Although it took years for Bentley to establish a process to photograph snowflakes, once he mastered it, his only complaint was the cold.

"The photographing of snowflakes, although quite delicate work, can hardly be called difficult, although some hardships attend it, because the work must all be done in a temperature below freezing, and under conditions of much physical exposure,” Bentley wrote in a 1922 article for Popular Mechanics Magazine.

In 1931 he would publish a book, "Snow Crystals" chronicling more than 2,400 photographs of snowflakes.

While Bentley may be most famous for his snowflake studies, he was an equal-opportunity weather-lover and conducted experiments with raindrops as well. Bentley’s studies were published in the scientific magazines and journals of his time. In 1924 he was awarded the first-ever grant from the American Meteorological Society.

At the time of his death in 1931, Bentley would leave behind more than 5,000 photographs of snowflakes.
