plasma engineering, chemistry, biology, medicine, internet, and whatever else i like
Who said Germans are OK to go to space? Especially the ones that look like this:
LOL! OK, OK, I’m just kidding!
Found this article posted on the German Aerospace Center site to be quite interesting.
Look at that! There is medicine, plasma engineering and physics, biotechnology, radiation research, etc etc etc. These guys are doing everything! Quite cool, if you ask me.
Personally, I’ve never really “looked up to the stars”… But perhaps I should. There are some quite fascinating phenomena that take place when you remove gravity from the equation. I’ve done a little bit of work on Coulomb crystals where the lattice sites were simply too tiny to feel the gravity. Too bad I have been looking elsewhere for cookies and am generally neglecting that initial effort. In space, however, even cows are weightless…
Anyway, read it and enjoy! Here are a few lines:
Plasma crystal research
The very first scientific experiment that was carried out on the ISS commenced in March 2001. This was a series of experiments that is still continuing today to research plasma crystals by the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics in Garching (Co-ordinator: G. Morfill). This involves micro-particles arranged so that they are floating in a plasma at room temperature. The lattice-shaped arrangement can be used as an experimental model system for the atomic structure of a solid. Thus scientists can examine in detail the melting of a solid using individual particle movements in terms of time and space. Under certain conditions they are also able to analyse flowing liquids and gases at elemental micro particle level.
This is a very interesting and creative idea. At least I find it creative.
Very clever.
Many more pages you can find on the author’s site here: http://hopelarson.livejournal.com/122445.html
To all: try to be THIS creative at least once in your lifetime.
To author (hopelarson): never stop, fabulous work!
To myself: read what you wrote for “To all” 
This is a pretty cool site. Contrary to “p-o-r-n” in its name, this is not really.
Perhaps images like this can be considered somewhat erotic…
But personally I find them simply… Interesting and entertaining.
I also love the design of the site. But you decide for yourself.
Here:
Well, I know!
Researchers recorded hundreds of students, capturing 30 seconds of sound for every 12-and-a-half minutes. The chattiest of the subjects, at nearly 47,000 words per day, were men.
NPR talks about men talking as much as women. Knowing me, I talk even more!!

I think this is quote an interesting story. Worth a read
If you’re anything like me, you bookmark all these sites that are “interesting”… Now I have hundreds of bookmarks and haven’t really read them all…
So, over the next week I think I’ll be posting some…
This is, after all, my own blog, and with 40-or-so visitors a day apparently some people actually read this shit…
So, let the games begin
Very nice site I stumbled on.

Killers of the 20′th century. Take a look
I can’t find where I got this from… I think from just stumbling. no matter, this is very funny.
How southpark characters would look in real life:
All bibles should come with this warning!!
Actually, I find it slightly offensive that there is a bible at EVERY hotel room I go to… I was just at a fairly shitty hotel… Matter of fact, the absolute worst hotel I have ever been to… and… A BIBLE!
Whatever the case, funny pic:
