Cross Products


Cross products create normals to planes! They are nifty!

Meteor Showers

So yeah, a daily flash! About meteor showers! I’m pretty sure I had a better idea for the ending but I suddenly forgot it so I just kinda made up stuff. It was not regarding danmaku, though. Or maybe this was my original idea and it just seemed great at the time and then after I finished I realized it wasn’t as great as it first seemed to be, so I was led to think I started with another idea. Well, whatever it is, here it is.

Photoelectric Effect

I really do spend too much time writing these fake newspaper articles. But it’s fun, so that’s fine. Also, if I hadn’t decided to make this daily flash, I would not have looked up the photoelectric effect on Wikipedia and I would not have known that it was discovered by Heinrich Hertz, who has a nifty SI unit named after him.

They probably stopped calling it the Hertz effect because then there would be two things named after him, which we all know can’t ever happen because it’s completely impossible. Or maybe because “photoelectric effect” is a name that actually says something the effect itself, rather than about the person who discovered it. Because it has to do with photons which are part of electromagnetic radiation.

Government Initiative Names


I enjoy writing these fake newspaper articles way too much, especially coming up with the acronym for this one. Yeah! (Or perhaps I should say “yeaaaaaaaaaaah!”)

Animal Rights

Based on a very small part of this New York Times article about animal rights (the article mentions nothing of giving animals the right to vote or run for president, though) that we had to read in class last week. This isn’t in response to Obama’s inauguration or anything, though, but I guess it does connect. Anyway, I had more to write but I forgot. Oh well.
