Ok, so I know I am stumbling around the internet like a big dumb animal... sorry if I am leaving big dumb animal turds in all of your inboxes. I have just started a twitter account, as well as a google+ and linked in. Actually the last two I might have had without really knowing I had them. It seems google just signs everyone that walks past a computer up for a google+ account and I have really no idea why I had a linked in account. I have been trying to not click the "Carpet Bomb Everyone You Have Ever Emailed" button when I sign up for these sites... but sometimes they trick me. So my apologies to your inboxes if I filled them with unwanted mail.
"So, Nick, why the heck are you pooping all over the internet?" you might ask.
Well, it all comes down to the Mars-One Project. It is becoming more and more clear to me that the only way for this project to succeed is for all of humanity to get behind it AND stay interested in it. So, I need to shit all over the internet to try and get people aware of it and interested. Also, and more selfishly, I want you and all your friends to both want to send me and then keep me alive once I am there on Mars! It would be pretty dire to get up there, then be subject to budget cuts...
So... the five of you that read this blog, please tell your friends. Hopefully it will snowball, and I will come across as interesting enough that you want to read more of my blog updates as I explore Martian caves and talk about the night life in the first extra-terrestrial village ever.
I guess what I am saying is... Tell your friends to read this... Also, sign up for my twitter account so I can let you know when I have had a few drinks next to my computer and wrote some more stuff on this blog.
Sign up for my twitters at @NickNoreus. Actually I am only mostly sure that is my tweet account. If I am dicking that up, someone please let me know. I am still trying to figure out how to get my flip phone to make tweets.
Alright, this is starting to sound too much like an NPR pledge drive... so let me tell you a story about a shower I took this week!
After work, I cam home, got into the shower... then had this really weird feeling that some other dude had been in my shower! At first, I couldn't tell why I had that feeling, but after a little bit of investigation I realized that I could smell him! Academically I knew no dude had been in my shower, but I really could smell this guy and my body tensed up for a fight because it was sure that there was some dude in my shower.
I looked around to see that there was nothing out of place or added to the bathroom... but still I could smell this guy. What the FUCK!?
Then I realized... it was me! I was the stranger in the shower!
That morning I had gone to an emergency back up supply of deodorant and was not used to that smell. (It was a shitty gas station brand deodorant that I used to keep in my glovebox incase I forgot to put it on before work.) When I took the shower I smelled unfamiliar man and my body didn't like it... My body totally went into fight mode.
Then, as a coincidence that is too good for me to even make up, there was a little finch on my Buick that was defending his nest from the reflection of himself in my rear view mirror. Unfortunately I don't have a picture or video of the finch, but just imagine a little bird very intently blustering on the mirror of the Buick sure that he was in a fight... but still by himself.
Also, XKCD is really bringing it strong recently for the Atmospheric Science crowd these days. I would prefer not to post so much from the same site, but he is doing a bang up job.
Finally, I just want to bring this to people's attention:
Do it yourself cloning kit. Just a bottle of roses lime juice!
After you reed it, consider the implications... Wow!

Personally my favorite chart was always the Skew-T Log-P... and also some experimental one I remember from Penn State, but I haven't seen it in years.

Holy shit, to the acidic reversion process.
Similar smell fight-response: first night in sub-let fully furnished apartment, I wake up and (having been on the road and staying in relatively sterile hotel rooms) am immediately put into fight mode by the smell of the guy whose apartment I currently am in. Takes at least ten seconds to realize where I am and what I am smelling (the sheets). Next step: wash all sheets with own detergent and burn candles with same scent as back home.
