Wolfram Alpha

I’ve been playing around on http://www80.wolframalpha.com/  If you aren’t familer with it, Wolfram Alpha is a detabase of tons of knowledge.  It isn’t a search engine; you ask it questions, or imput bits of data (like a name, place, date, number, or anything really) and it spits out relavent info.   It is actually kind of amazing the amount of (possibly) useful information you could get from this thing.  You can even use it compare two seperate pieces of data.   Neet.  As it turns out I was born on the same day as the guy that stared in the recent Dragonball movie, aren’t I lucky :|  

 

The real fun comes in when you start asking it questions.  I’m not gonna give away the answers, just check it out. 

Some examples we’ve come up with so far include:

Lol

Those prerie dogs were just too damn cute and funny.  I posted a couple of them (with captions) to Icanhascheezburger.  They are my first lols, I hope you enjoy them.

Wichita Mountains

I finally posted some of the pictures I took at the Wichita Mountain National Wildlife Reserve a few weeks ago.  I camped out one night and spent two whole days taking pictures.  Those in the gallery are only a small selection.  I’ll probably post more to my Flickr account later on.

Bitchin’ Camaro!

We went out last Thursday at took some shots of the new 2009 camaros.  We’re putting together a spot for all the Chevy dealers in OKC (or at least a group of them) promoting the new camero (which is apperantly on an ‘order only’ status right now).  Anyway, thought I’d post a few of my [...]

adsense vs savings

I’d just like to say that this site, which I post on very infrequently and take little effort to maintain is actually outperforming my savings account. I have to admit that google doesn’t pay me until my adsense account reaches $100, but at the current rate that should happen early next year. My [...]

Cherokee Nation Term Limits

A bill was introduced Monday that would eliminate term limits for the tribal councel and the principal chief.  Once signed by the chief it has to be taken to a popular vote before it can be ratified.  This proposal won’t be on the ballet until 2011.

I’m really a little disterbed by this.  Term limits exist [...]

License Plate

How did that lucky bastard get such a lince plate

 
Saw this guy on the road earlier.  Most personalized license plates really don’t make any sense.  This guy must be some sort of bad-ass, I can only assume.
The name William is not really common, but it is by no means rare.  Its the kind of name that might be on a hat at disney world, [...]

Camera Backpack

I have a new addition to my evergrowing addiction to camera equipment, at least this one makes me mobile.  I have been getting very tired of toting around 3 bags wherever I go, so I came up with a solution:  get something to hold all of your equipment!
I wanted something that would hold my SLR [...]

Jazz

Matt just got a brand new drum set. So, tonight I broke out the sax and we tried to play for a while. Went better than I expected, but we are both very out of practive.
And so it seems that I’m adding one more hobbie to my already long list of ways to spend my [...]

DTV Conversion Quotes

We shut off analog transmitions yesterday, and we have a mini call center set up in the station to take calls from all the pissed off people what lost their TV signal (I’m not participating in this).
Our chief engineer sent out an email this morning with his favorite caller quotes:
“Not willing to do bad things [...]
