Sensitive dependence on initial conditions
"A butterfly's wings might create tiny changes in the atmosphere that may ultimately alter the path of a tornado or delay, accelerate or even prevent the occurrence of a tornado in a certain location." The Butterfly Effect Theory has always been something that has intrigued me. The idea of a seemingly small unimportant event effecting the environment on a much grander scale.
As an interested player of Eve Online, that pops in and out of the game sporadically, I'm interested in the games concept in relation to this theory. With hundreds of thousands of players in one "universe," small actions are bound to affect the universe on a much greater scale. Take a look at the video and let me know what you think. As a lone wolf, I often feel my effect on the universe is non existent. I may look at things a little differently now.

Lightly sleeping and dreaming
I've spent a few restless night lately, keeping my self in that in between consciousness, where vivid imagery and physical emotion take hold. Lightly sleeping and dreaming.
Since the whirlwind weekend where I was too busy for my own good, starting with a work retreat then a wedding shoot, and then Sunday at the track. The track part is what brought me to this place of little rest. The last two nights I've dreamt of racing motorcycles. Over the last 6 months or so, it was never really a question of if, only win. Sunday however stamped that idea into titanium, antimanium, concreted steel. I AM GOING TO RACE MOTORCYCLES!
Now it's only a matter of time, just waiting to get the scratch together to get out there. I'm making progress. All I really need are a pair of boots. Hopefully I can make it to the class on August 16th. Then maybe a track day in Sept. Then the off season where I will get the rest together.
I only assume these restless nights will get worse as I actually get on the track. I have a feeling that it will be worth it.

I choose the moon!
Happy 40th anniversary America. In commemoration of the historical event I present you with my favorite Frank song accompanied by beautiful Nasa footage and JFK's race to the moon speech.

A slice of spicy hot chicken and turkey pepperoni
"Where'd my two days go, come on earth, spin backwards and give them back!"
It's was a good busy weekend starting Friday with an apartment warming party at my friend Evan's place. After a treacherous walk through the rain soaked streets of downtown Denver we arrive and socialized with a good group of people.
Woke up early Saturday to go for a ride with Greg and Dan. As always I was a little late to the meeting when I did finally arrive we hung out for a bit because of the parking lot being packed because of the Mile High Nationals at Bandamere. Got a free 180 energy drink which wasn't very good. We rode north through Golden up in the hills. It was a fun and new route marred only by the slow speeds because of the slow traffic. Riding through Black Hawk/Central City was pretty neat. It's amazing how things look different under the visor of a helmet. We finally arrive in Idaho Springs where I had to use the little boys room and Dan needed to um...stretch his legs because of the previous nights activities. We ate some excellent pizza at Beau Jo's and the went home. The night was fun as Thuy came over with home made egg rolls. We hung out watched a movie and played a little bit of video games.
That's about it for my weekend, what did everyone else do?

I woke up entirely too early Sunday to meet Camille and her husband at High Plains Raceway for RMVR races. It was hot and long but a fun day. The most interesting event of the day was the remote control Blue Angels Jet having a rough landing and losing it's nose wheel as seen above. I started up WoW again last night and Jesse, Dan, Ray and I ran Utgarde Keep. I'm now 33% through 73 and am excited to nerd it up again.

Webcam Music Video
This is perhaps one of the coolest music video's I've ever seen and the song is pretty good too.
