Rubénerd!

Had one of those "living in the future" feelings today. Humbled beyond belief.

Took a break from anime, and changed my background to this for the occasion :).

This is why I still avidly read Slashdot :)

"A wind-powered car has been clocked in the US traveling downwind 2.85 times faster than the 13.5 mph wind. The definitive research by Rick Cavallaro of FasterThanTheWind.org is being funded by Google and Joby Energy.

And thoughtsatthemoment's response:

Let me know when you have a solar powered car traveling faster than light.

I like it! Credit to Tom on Twitter, the image is from his Twitter page background.

Not doing physics in high school still remains one of my biggest regrets; I couldn't do it because the timetable clashed with two of my computer subjects. Chemistry was deeply interesting, but physics is on an entirely different plane of fascination for me. There is so much stunning beauty in physics.

Using the MadPlayer again for music, Ruben not feeling so good (again!), comparing Chemistry and Physics to Biology in high school, Class of 2004 (Rajesh Pathy), A Moment with Elke Segment (why she shouldn't have done biology) and Ruben not being able to breathe :(.
