einstein, fifth grade

Kid in 5th grade, asked what einstein sez about matter and energy.

What he says is, they're like ice and water, the same thing, with
some constant involved. For m=e/c^2 (what Al published, not the
bs e=mc2) the constant is the speed of light squared. It has to
do with the elasticity of the aether, which doesn't exist.

frame shift

The grandkid of the VP Eng at work is an intern at work.
He said "grandpa" when referring to the VP.

That was a weird frame shift. Like when you see a dog
being operated on: looks like grocery meat; and grandma;
and its a biomed test.

No dogs recently, but pigs. More like people, although more
expensive than dogs, I think. Dogs were for cardiac work
in LA; pigs for my current work.

When we put our 18 year old cat down last year, I was impressed
by the speed of the vacancy of the eyes after injection. My
dad noticed same on his dog euthanasia. For the pigs, its
a pink injection into the ear, and the animal is already
anesthetized. Cat inject was shoulder I think, dog was between
toes, heroin style.

Not a bad way to go. Much prettier than the HST pistol plan.

My kid controlled a webcam watching a stream via a netbook.
