All those pictures for want of a few digits in scientific notation?

Well, this is mostly for people that don't "get" numbers.

Tragic. Numbers have rather little to do with math, too.

They got this road fixed in 6 days.

I'm guessing their road crews aren't unionized. And they didn't need to wait a few months to get Obama's ARRA sign printed.

Well, technically, they said on the same level as, not as shitty as.

Still not a category you like to find yourself in. The club is you and some underfunded commies from three decades ago.

First thing I thought of was that we can look forward to versions of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. set in Japan.

As more of the country gets back on the net, more vids are showing up on Youtube.

This one actually has some peeps not running fast enough.

A couple of weeks ago, I showed my daughter (just turned 4) one of the tsunami videos that showed a bay overflowing into a town, wiping away all the cars and some buildings. She loved it, so I showed it to her again, then decided maybe we shouldn't keep watching it.

Today, I walked into the bonus room and she had cut some paper into a hundred or so pieces. I asked what she was doing "Well daddy, over there is the ocean (pointing beyond the paper scraps), and then, behind that is an earthquake. And, the earthquake made a tsunami, which is wiping away all the cars (holding up pieces of paper), and there's the green building going away." (There was a large green warehouse building that floated away in the video).

It made quite the impression, apparently.

One of the side effects of the radiation?
