The Butterfly Effect

Monday, April 21st, 2008

Edward Lorenz, the father of chaos theory, died at his home in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on Wednesday, April 17th. He was 90.
His discovery of “deterministic chaos” brought about “one of the most dramatic changes in mankind’s view of nature since Sir Isaac Newton,” said the committee that awarded Lorenz the 1991 Kyoto Prize for basic sciences. […]

Time is of the Essence

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

As difficult and harsh as the weather’s been lately, the beauty of spring is beginning to emerge. Buds on the trees, greening of the grass, birds returning to the garden.
Mr. Davis shared these predictions for the future from a 1968 Mechanixs Illustrated mag:
People have more time for leisure activities in the year 2008. The average […]

Resurrected

What good could possibly come out of a drive-by shooting in Carmichael, CA?
A strong 22 year old heart.
The heart of that young man has been beating strong now for seven years in the chest of the recipient; a guy who was my age when he got the gift. The clock was ticking on his end […]

The Greatest Gift

Monday, January 21st, 2008

Friday’s yoga session made me think about my lungs. How lucky and grateful I am for my functional set. So why do I knowingly abuse them? Sickening.

Open Season

Wednesday, November 7th, 2007

Crispy and clear, I ran out the door barefoot this morning around 5 to try to spot the space shuttle reentering the earth’s atmosphere, but couldn’t locate. I was blinded by that northern star. That rock is hot!

It’s supposed to pass directly over the Ozarks again at 11:15-ish AM, hopefully I’ll hear the “double […]

The Power of Purple

Wednesday, August 15th, 2007

Busy busy in the garden. We’re digging out some old unfinished posts and working them over.
Tim Totten wrote an interesting post on color. We study color here in the garden as well. Last time we checked Blue was still America’s favorite hue.

In the […]
