Getting back to it...
Blogging has taken a back seat for the last few months as life has kept me quite occupied. Now that the winter rainy season has set in, I have a bit more time to penning some thoughts.
Taking a Step Back from the Ubiquitous Smart Phone
I admit it, I am somewhat of a techno ascetic and now that I have bored the reader thoroughly with my prattle on the sliderule, let's turn the dial on the wayback machine forward a couple of decades and talk about the predecessor to the smart phone, of course I'm referring to the Palm Pilot. The little pda may or may not have faded into obscurity.
The Slide Rule and the Neighborhood
I am going to venture to subject the reader to yet another post about slide rules. So let us launch into another problem involving height and distance, but this time with an added twist. Then I'll discuss what is to be gained by going through this exercise rather than punching the numbers in on the calculator.
Old Time Mathematics
The latest acquisition is a brand new, never opened Sterling brand 10" Senior Mannheim sliderule. The date on the sticker is 1972, so it has been sitting unused for 47 years. American plastic at its best.
Rodent invasion aftermath
*Warning*, This post is a bit of a ramble, but my hope is that it provides some measure of assistance (and perhaps entertainment) to the many homeowners who invariably suffer from similar issues. That said, on to the blabber.
More fun with images
WARNING, If you are on a slow connection, go enjoy a cup of coffee because it will take a few minutes for the animated images to load.
