You down with LHC? (yeah you know me!)

So there you have it, the LHC has been on, and we’re still alive. 1 Granted, they haven’t kicked it up to full steam yet. Naturally; anyone with half a brain should know that we experience “reactions” of greater magnitude in our everyday lives… undetected.

But for all the idiots who are still worried – thinking that the LHC will kill us all, here’s a nice site to keep you updated – complete with RSS feed:

Has the Large Hadron Collider destroyed the world yet?

Kidding aside, we’re living in exciting times folks.

I suggest all over-zealous religious nut-jobs take a chill pill and just let Science discover what it can. Your Religious beliefs are safe; the LHC still can’t prove/disprove the existence of a supreme being. Though I’m really hoping that, at the very least, it could provide enough information to shut those fucking creationists up once and for all 😉

More Vimeo love

I had Erwin take a video during practice last tuesday using my Lumix. I wanted to see just how good the quality of the video was given the specs of the camera. So basically when shooting on a 16:9 ratio, the Lumix gives you hi-def resolution (1280×720) Although with extremely lousy audio compared to the Cybershot. Here’s a sample:

The video is available in its full resolution as well. Unfortunately, playing it in HD requires you to visit the video’s “official page” for it to work. Which is a bummer since I wanted to be able to have people view the HD content straight from the embed.

There’s also some footage of me driving through the storm that night; should give you an idea how it the video does in low light conditions.
