I was hoping the new year, post Christmas thing would bring some sanity and balance to my life, but so far…nope. Is anyone else feeling completely overwhelmed by every single thing? I swear I can’t get half of what I need to even started, let alone finished. Here’s a sample: Writing: My goal was to be finished with firefighter book #1 by January 10th. I still need about 80 more pages of the first draft. House: OMG, keep the health department far, far away because they would probably takThe Gravity of the Situation
In my 2008 roundup, I mentioned that I had some plans for my blog for the new year. One of the things I've been wanting to do is post some of my short fiction. For various reasons (including that it is a bunch of tedious no-fun), I'm terrible about submitting my stories for publication. However, this doesn't mean they have to go without an audience.In honor of my co-moderating a session on science fiction at ScienceOnline09, here is one of my science fiction stories.

Shmuley Boteach does two bad things, he writes books and collumns. Okay he also has a radio show. Three bad things. Very, very bad things.As one of those Rabbis who jumped on board the whole Megachurch Self-help revolution, Shmuley Boteach is a bad combination of Dr Phil and Matisyahu, with the wit and wisdom of a Dennis Prager.

To many people, a mosquito's high-pitched whine is even more annoying than the insect's itchy bite. But to mosquitoes of the opposite sex, that irritating noise is a powerful love song. Aedes aegypti, the mosquito species that transmits dengue and yellow fever to humans, engages in a wing-beating courtship duet that depends on very specific frequencies. "This study opens up a whole new sensory window for mosquitoes," said entomologist Lauren Cator of Cornell University, lead author of theUsing Avid Paint Effect for Tracking and Cloning
A quick and easy fix to remove an unwanted artifact or portion of a video image is to track and clone an object using the Avid Media Composer's paint effect. Tracking can be a complex process, but it can also be a simple process for very practical things. This is one quick example that uses a single tracking point. In this example, I want to remove the unwanted logo from this man's shirt. This was done by cloning a similar area of his shirt and then tracking it to Crash

All week people have been asking me, "How was your Christmas?" and I've been answering, with somewhat startling and unnecessary enthusiasm, "It was awesome!" For two whole weeks I sat around at home with my kids and (sometimes) husband, and baked double-chocolate cookies, played Guitar Hero, watched hours of home-reno shows on my newly acquired "Lifestyle Package" of TV channels, and did two excessively difficult and kind of annoying jigsaw puzzles.I can't remember the last time I've had so mucBenjamin Button's Back Pages
“Ah, but I was so much older then, I’m younger than that now.”- Bob Dylan (“My Back Pages” 1964) THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON(Dir. David Fincher, 2008) “I’m seven but I look much older” Benjamin Button (Brad Pitt) says in his early old age upon meeting somebody new. He is, of course, not kidding. He was born a wrinkled wizened man in his 80’s, albeit the size of a tiny baby, so his curious case is that he is aging backwards. His tale is told through the recollections via his letters and Beware the Red Hot Water Bottles…
