To the Moon!

I was doing a little reading, and came across a few interesting articles about some Fox Network show that was trying to show that the lunar landings were a hoax. I cannot prove that we did actually land on the moon, but this Fox show did a horrible job of trying to prove we didn't...

Google Calculator:

To use Google's built-in calculator function, simply enter the expression you'd like evaluated in the search box and hit the Enter key or click the Google Search button. The calculator can evaluate mathematical expressions involving basic arithmetic (5+2*2 or 2^20), more complicated math (sine(30 degrees) or e^(i pi)+1), units of measure and conversions (100 miles in kilometers or 160 pounds * 4000 feet in Calories), and physical constants (1 a.u./c or G*mass of earth/radius of earth^2). You can also experiment with other numbering systems, including hexadecimal and binary.

These sample queries demonstrate the utility and power of this new feature:

• 56*78
• half a cup in teaspoons
• (G * mass of earth) / (radius of earth ^ 2)
• 1.21 GW / 88 mph

Calculate any Date! February 28/29 To start the Doomsday algorithm for any year, you first need to know the Doomsday for that year. Doomsday is February 28/29, or, in other words, Doomsday is always the last day of February. In normal years, Doomsday is February 28, and in leap years, Doomsday is February 29. In 2002, the last day of February is Thursday the 28th. Once you know Doomsday, it's pretty easy to get the day of the week for any day in February. It's done by adding and subtracting, using multiples of 7, and you should be comfortable doing this in your head -- or else the rest of the algorithm will give you trouble! Luckily, most people, through practice or whatever, are good at mentally picturing a month if they have something to anchor it on, and for February it's the 28th in normal years, the 29th in leap years. Example: what is this year's Valentine's Day, February 14th? Answer: Doomsday 2002 is Thursday the 28th of February. So one week earlier, the 21st is also a Thursday. Another week earlier is Thursday the 14th. So Valentine's Day 2002 is a Thursday. Example: what is this year's Groundhog day, February 2nd? Answer: Doomsday 2002 is Thursday the 28th... Thursday the 21st... Thursday the 14th... Thursday the 7th. Now you have to get from the 7th to the 2nd. You could back up five days from Thursday the 7th to reach Saturday the 2nd, but that's pretty awkward. It may be easier to go forward two days fro

OK - someone send me some money so I can do this: Deep Flight - H.O.T. [Flight School]

I found some nice OpenGL tuts at NeHe Productions ( OpenGL ). Got to start learning me some of that using SDL maybe...

I was reading the ole /. and ran across an article that linked to another article that linked to this site. It sells a DVD that is a collection of PC demos. Once I saw "Second Reality" and other old school demos that are on side 2, I put this right on my wish list.
This is located at: MindCandy Volume 1: PC Demos, and here is their little 'hype' section:

• Two sided disc, totalling nearly four (4) hours of video footage!
• Audio commentary on all demos
• Digitally remastered soundtracks
• 12-page full color booklet
• Animated chapter menus
• Original menu music from demoscene artists
• Hidden demos and other "easter eggs"

I just went to visit my blog.
It was pretty boring. I guess I will just have to run out and do something interesting so I can write about it in here...
