Hulk Has Boo Boo

JWT Dubai created a clever ad campaign for Band-Aid Flexible Fabric showing how their band-aid will stay on even after you transform into The Hulk.

Stephanie - I stayed home today and I work maybe 5 miles from home, no freeway. I'm a wuss.

I'm glad that there is Fug Madness to distract me today.

I'm doing the old-school recluse author thing this weekend and checking into a cheap hotel. With a bottle of wine and everything.

Be careful that your writing doesn't turn into hard-boiled crime fiction. The hotel wasn't the kind of place that puts a mint on your pillow, it was the kind of place where you paid by the hour and nobody asks your name. I swigged a drink from my bottle of booze that had more in common with lighter fluid than a smooth whiskey, but I didn't have time to be a damn connoisseur, I had a draft to finish.

Gud, you just made me laugh and laugh. Also, well done.

Me, too. Heh.

That weekend sounds nice, Amy. Even Gud's version.

My boss wants me to send an email to my student worker with the subject line "What is your status?" and ask her whether she is worker for us or not. She does not want to fire her. I am not sure what to say, because she did not show up for any of her appointed hours this week or the week before break.

That was a fabulous episode.

I hated that episode. The crime was nigh impossible and the team didn't do any divining and we spent all the time with the not-actually-unsub instead of our lovely team. Had none of the things I come to CM for.

But it had Morgan saying he loved Garcia!

(didn't it?)

Quantum mechanics applies to objects that can be seen by the naked eye

The UC Santa Barbara researchers seen below "have provided the first clear demonstration that the theory of quantum mechanics applies to the mechanical motion of an object large enough to be seen by the naked eye."

In a paper published in the March 17 issue of the advance online journal Nature, Aaron O'Connell, a doctoral student in physics, and John Martinis and Andrew Cleland, professors of physics, describe the first demonstration of a mechanical resonator that has been cooled to the quantum ground state, the lowest level of vibration allowed by quantum mechanics. With the mechanical resonator as close as possible to being perfectly still, they added a single quantum of energy to the resonator using a quantum bit (qubit) to produce the excitation. The resonator responded precisely as predicted by the theory of quantum mechanics.

I like this part:

Bob Harris says: "What's the real-world application? No one knows, although cats should start avoiding any box they could become trapped in."
