| Took my last final today of my last class of my last quarter. Done. Grades will be whatever, but I have passed these classes and unless the graduations office is struck by a meteor (which I hope does not happen because the ladies there are nice) by this time next week I will have a shiny new Associate's degree. Only took me nine years. ;) ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif){kind=small} best_thing_ever, my cherished community, is finally closing after five excellent and often surreal years. There's a poll up for newcomers right now, and you would be doing yourself a service to go read some of the fill-in answers to the last question on it.These people are brilliant. | |||

| There's a webpage I hang out at that plays a lot of word games. On of them is called "Film Club", where various movies are suggested for fans of a particular social demographic. Someone suggested 'The Star-Trek-Fan Film Club' and I quite enjoyed a few of the submissions. My favorites: Big Tribble in Little China Dancing with Worf The Magnificent Seven of Nine From Crusher with Love Set Phasers To Kill A Mockingbird Gorn With the Wind Finding Nemoy The Maltese Vulcan Dude, Where's My Shuttlecraft? - Jux | |||

| Things move fast at Mars Hill Church. As of last week, my internship was going to start "soon", and would cover mostly assisting the producer and doing miscellaneous grunt work. As of today I have signed my internship paperwork, and my producer is leaving due to promotion. Which means starting this Sunday the person who runs the Sunday services is going to be me. - Jux | |||

| James: I really can only learn through song. If it weren't for the Ramones classic Referential Transparency and its Implications in Purely Functional Languages I never would have gotten my CS degree. Me: What album was that one on? James: It was spread out over a few. It was a really long song, the chorus went for 15 minutes. Me: wow i guess i should listen to their lyrics more James: Yeah, I dunno if they had any songs that'll help you, though. It's hard to rhyme anything with signal transduction. Me: "destruction"... that's kind of a punk rock gimme James: Oh yeah, it's coming back to me now... destruction, destruction, it's signal transduction, converting all those stimuli to different instructions. That was a Dead Kennedys song, though. Don't use them to study, they made me fail maths. - Jux | |||

| Even the closest stars are so distant that no two points on Earth are far enough apart to effect any observational change in their position relative to further-away background stars. HOWEVER: If we photograph a star at different times of YEAR it's another story. The average distance from us to the Sun is 150,000,000 km (also known as 1 Astronomical Unit), so we can have a baseline for measurement of up to 2AU as we orbit around. The distance the star appears to "move" across the sky can be measured as an angle. If we draw an imaginary line from us to the star we're observing at those two times of year, we'll make a triangle. One angle of the triangle is the degrees of displacement - the parallax. If we cut that angle exactly in half, then one side of the triangle will be 1 AU, and the second angle will be 90 degrees - Earth, to the Sun, to the star. Side-Angle-Angle is enough information to calculate distance. (distance = baseline X (360°/2π)/parallax°) Because the stars are so far away, their parallaxes are always very small. Thus they are measured with small increments - arc seconds, one of which is equal to 1/60th of an arcminute, which is 1/60th of a degree. A star whose parallactic angle (1/2 the parallax) is exactly one arc second with a baseline of 1AU is therefore a fixed distance away from us, a unit of measurement we call a parsec. 3.09x1013km, or 3.3 light years. - Jux | |||

| A brief compilation of things we don't actually understand yet, as reported by my textbooks: *Double-ringed impact craters on the surface of Mercury. *The cellular method by which venus flytraps actually shut. *The chemical coloration of Jupiter. *The marriage of preprogrammed genetic death and indeterminate growth in plants1. So you see? There's still plenty of mystery left for you. - Jux | |||
