Wind and Water

Tampa Bay Water Level Observations. (click the image for a better view)
Posted by Picasa

You wouldn't expect that wind over water could move that much water that fast, but a strong north wind both from the hurricane and a cold front combined to push a lot of water out of Tampa Bay. This wind pushed most of the water out of the marina I am in, and has supressed the low tide by as much as 2 feet even in the major ports.

More senseless quiz-taking

You are a Samurai.
You are full of honour and value respect. You
are not really the stereotypical hero, but you
do fight for good. Just in your own way. For
you, it is most certainly okay to kill an evil
person, if it is for justice and peace. You
also don't belive in mourning all the time and
think that once you've hit a bad stage in life
you just have to get up again. It's pointless
to concentrate on emotional pain and better to
just get on with everything. You also are a
down to earth type of person and think before
you act. Impulsive people may annoy you
somewhat.

What Historic General Are You?

King Edward I You scored 72 Wisdom, 81 Tactics, 56 Guts, and 51 Ruthlessness!

Or rather, King Edward the Longshanks if you've seen Braveheart. You, like Edward, are incredibly smart and shrewd, but you win at any costs.... William Wallace died at his hands after a fierce Scottish rebellion against his reign. Despite his reputation though, Longshanks had the best interests of his people at heart. But God help you if you got on his bad side.

A good Review of Sin City

Sin City (2005). This is one wierd movie. The film noir feeling is perfect and consistent throughout the various storylines.

One of the Two Ronnies Has Died

Scotsman.com News - UK - Showbusiness world says fond farewell to a giant of comedy Most Americans probably don't know who Ronnie Baker was, but he was a top flight comedian from the UK. Half of the Two Ronnies, one of the late-night PBS imports that tried to replace Monty Python's Flying Circus.

"It's 'goodnight' from me." "And it's 'goodnight' from him."

High Speed Photography

I love high speed photography.

Andrew Davidhazy has many photographs that display the types of things they can do. Many of them involve shooting a gun.

Constantine

Good story. Terrible movie. I am convinced that Kenau Reeves should never have been allowed to make a movie after the original Matix. Go out at the top of your game.

But I loved the universe it was set in... not so different from our own. Are heaven and hell just behind every wall? Is it more a point-of-view than a place?
