Wisconsin Spiders

As I was combing the internet today looking up different types of spiders in Wisconsin, I found a distinct lack of information about toxicity. According to most of the internet, there are only two poisonous spiders in good ol' 'sconni: Black Widow and Brown Recluse. Now, if either of these bit ya, you'd know it. Either you'd die (widow) or you would have a gaping, rotting hole where you were bit (recluse). This got me looking into more alternative bite styles. I found nothing. Either way, I looked. My leg is now movable, Benedryl is keeping me awake, and apt has been successfully fumigated. YAY NATURE!

OVER 9000!

So, I was adding songs to my new mp3 player the past few days and I began to realize something scary. After I filled the 32gb player with only a few of the songs I know by heart, I realized I have memorized over 9000 songs. Yes Vegeta, OVER 9000!!!!!!111!!one! This got me thinking, because my music collection stopped growing about a year and a half ago.. I have learned more songs since then. Oh well, WELL over 20 minutes spent adding songs, as it took a few days. >.>


Fuck the zombies, brains are weird.

Two Words:

Angry. Birds.

This is my new distraction. This is my only distraction. This is my WORLD XD

Poor Yogi :(

Well, I decided tonight would be the PERFECT night to go through a canister of instant coffee, a bag of oranges, and a pineapple. You know what that means: Bears & How to avoid getting your head ripped off :D

Inspired by my article on how to train your bear, I decided to research more into how to not get mauled to death. To start off, I shall quote my favorite article on this one, "Don't be a tease." Avoid eating, leaving food around, or saying, "Na na! You can't catch me!" to the bear. Mr. Bear will get mad and maul you.

Time For Tickles!!!!

Next, make noise and don't be sneaky. As fun as it sounds to sneak up behind a bear and yell, "TIME FOR TICKLES!!!!" this only works for Katie. Remember, surprising a bear and forcing them into a fit of laughter is a great way to get mauled.

Our last and most useful tip would be to: When in doubt, use Bear Spray. For any and all other information, please watch this informative video:

Bessel Tractor Beams

Perusing the internet, I was reading articles on Light sheets and filming of living cells in 3d panes. From this, I started to learn about different forms of light and their effects on cells... which brought me to....

BESSEL BEAMS!!! Wooo!

Bessel beams are high-energy waves, synchronized so they will not spread out as they travel. Now, they are only theoretical, as they require infinite amounts of energy to create one.  The are fun to look at, as they are remarkably similar to "a ripple in a pond".

The fun part of these is that the synchronizing of the wave lengths provides for some awkward physics improbabilities. By synchronizing the flow of waves, you are able to create a small pull on the photon level from short distances. This is great for nano processing, but not so great for tractor beams that can lift you up and take you to the moon mole people :(

Facebook Privacy

I was browsing the internet and I discovered something rather fun. About a month ago, I quit facebook. I think I did this just in time.

You are now able to - as a facebook app developer - access all users' addresses and phone numbers. Yeah, you remember how you had to give them your phone number to verify your account? WELL, now it is accessible by EVERYONE. I wanted to test this, so I made a quick app and a fake profile. It works.
