MOAR SHOX!

This weekend i went to the gas station down the street which was all renovated with new fancy pumps that are all automated and good stuff. i went to pay and on the way back to the car i saw this sign. the sign indicats to turn of your cell phone while filling up in case the spark from the components may ignite the gas fumes. and i was like hey we are learning about charge in class so lets take a picture and talk about it in this blog... because thats what cool people do!

OPEN TEH BOXX!

Over this christmas break, a giant wooden crate arrived at my house. I was woken up and told to get dressed and come downstairs. I was met with a box that I was supposed to open. At first I didnt know how to open it... then I realized I needed a crowbar to release all the nails. It took me a good 4 hours of prying nails from the wood until I could open the actual box. The torque I exerted on the nail by using a pivot point and increasing my arm length with the bar allowed me to do a job that wouldve taken over 1 week to do without a crowbar. Hooray for physics!
