Massive and un-restrained title change was necessary

let's see, a quick update.

I started messing with hello, and got some pictures posted below. you can click on them to view a larger version.

had an interesting conversation with brandon on quantum mechanics and basic particles, after which I went out and looked up some stuff to see if I was right.
so, here are your random facts for the day-

baryon particles are large particles (like protons and neutrons, those are the most common) that are made up of quarks. I wasn't sure what a baryon was before, but I remembered the term.

Tachyons are particles that (theoretically, no one has either found them or been able to create an experiment in which enough energy has been released to create them) move faster than the speed of light. they have a couple of weird properties- for instance, the more energy they lose, the faster they go.
so a tachyon with zero energy will be moving at an infinite speed- that is, a "transcendent" speed. it will be everywhere at once.
Charged tachyons will give off cerenkov radiation, which is basically visible light. if they do that, they lose energy and accelerate...

tachyons are weird. read more here.

watched the last indiana jones movie, argued, and rex got misplaced on the way to pick up the parents at the airport.
spent some time cleaning, too. other than that, I don't know.
