I was always curious about that.Lightspeed travel sounds exciting, looks boring.
Physics students at the University of Leicester have calculated what the view would look like from the window of a spacecraft travelling at the speed of light. Thanks to the Doppler effect, the frequency of light waves change as you move relative to the source, leading to the uninteresting blob of light, which is actually leftover glow from the big bang.
If you’re moving at (say) 99.99995 percent of the speed of light, which is what these students used for their calculations, light from stars will be shifted so far towards the blue end of the spectrum that it’ll end up way past what we can see with our eyes, turning into x-rays that are effectively invisible. Meanwhile, very long wavelength light that we ordinarily can’t see, like cosmic background radiation, is shifted up into the visible. So essentially, stars disappear, and all we see is the leftover glow from the Big Bang as a formless blob of light.

Another hard evening at the gym.
A full hour of hitting the heavy bags hard plus sparring. Yeah, I’m sore again. I love it though. Hoping I can get myself back into shape. Guess I’d probly have to lay of the junk food to really lose the gut though.

Definitely should have braided my beard today.
It gets in the way a lot more, and doesn’t look as cool unbraided. Yes it is that long.

Why did I just watch American Idol?
Oh yeah… Because I’m married and I have little to no control over the TV.

My body is sore.
I finally got to participate in a kickboxing class that I didn’t have to teach again. I haven’t had a full kickboxing class since November or something. I have spared a few times since then, but I’m out of shape. Need to try and get back in more often.

“If I’d had access to firearms in high school before being diagnosed and treated for my bipolar disorder, as upsetting as it feels, to be honest, I might have been a candidate to become a school shooter. Lord knows that, as a high school nerd being bullied by the jocks and the popular kids on a regular basis, I harbored elaborate revenge fantasies against my tormentors. Thankfully, there was only one time I ever contemplated violence that I might have been able to carry out, and it was some time after that.” — A touching, sometimes dark, incredibly honest story about what it’s like to grow up with violent video games and bipolar disorder. (via kotakucom)I have a tough time with this. I don’t know this person and I don’t like calling anyone a liar, but people with bi-polar disorder are more likely a threat to themselves, if anyone. And there is a long way from revenge fantasy to actually doing it. It’s a pretty far stretch from “I could see myself doing” to actually doing something.
There are people out there with mental illness sick enough to do these things, but odds are not likely. We should do our best to help everyone to get treatment for mental illness, but not because we’re afraid they’re going to shoot up our schools.
There is already do much negative sigma associated with mental illness, it shouldn’t be associated with people automatically being a danger to society. We need to be accepting of people with mental illness so they won’t feel like a freak or failure or be afraid to be ostracized for admitting they need help.
But I’m nobody, so don’t listen to me.

The 240Z will always remain my favorite classic sports car. Maybe because I own one, maybe not.
