Scattered Blatherings about TV Shows

1. Arrow's Felicity Smoak continues to be (pardon the pun) Smoak-ing. :P Seriously, smart IT lady who went to MIT? She rocks, plain and simple. :D

2. Revolution! One of my hobby horses when it comes to this show is figuring out the physics of that world (see my previous posts on what happens to Maxwell's Equations).

A related thing I like to occasionally consider is what mechanical devices could replace electromagnetic devices in this world, and I have come across Electrical and Mechanical Analogs which starts off by showing the similar equations and parameters you can use to "translate" from an electromagnetic system to a mechanical system.

Bottom line: If it's electrical, you can probably make a much bigger and more cumbersome mechanical equivalent.

Rather neat! :P

I just saw this on F!S

This scares the shit out of me. I'm not getting any younger, and there's fics I want to write (and finish!) and I just think, "Oh my God, what if--?"

I don't mind dying so much (since I'll be dead obviously and likely not around to do anything in this world), but what I do mind is the thought that I might lose my mental faculties and be unable to do and read something I enjoy a lot: fan fiction.

And that really bothers me.
