Dear Mrsatroxi,

Well, one of these days coming up here I’ll post again, promise.

Dealing with a bout of bad health here, along with a bout of Life.

Sigh.

Here’s another really cool video.

And here’s a description of what’s going on:

“When you spend your life in the water, I guess you tend to develop a good intuition for its subtleties. Dolphins have been observed to create bubble rings by exhaling air carefully in the middle of the vortices caused by the motion of their fins through the water, among other techniques. Besides being nice to look at (and a neat demonstration of fluid mechanics), this phenomenon also might throw some light on dolphin cognition, since the skill to create the rings is a bit subtle and tends to be taught from one dolphin to the next via careful observation and practice. I’m also intrigued by the report that they seem to be using sonar to locate the vortex in the water, since that would be a fairly amazing bit of audio analysis.”

I’m tired. I’m so tired.

I started this new job on Monday, and although it’s so far not bad at all, good grief is it tiring. Busy, yes, very busy, but some of it is manufactured busyness.

Any ideas on how to tell an entire office it’s insane?
