Not taken lightly

In Friday forum, Patriarch Zemp was talking about the different types of light in our lives. We have the Light of Christ which is in everyone and everything. It's the light that by which the universe was created, and also how our conscience works. Then there's the Light of the Holy Ghost, which can be received by those who are worthy to receive it. Finally we have the celestial light, glory of God, or... I can't remember how he worded it. I should have talked to him afterwards. Hindsight.

What got me thinking was the fact that we have so many types of light, literal and figurative. If there's such a thing as sound resonance, could it be possible to have optical resonance, and even spiritual resonance? If so, what kind of forces would that cause?

I best get back to helping Joey in the lab. At least we have it working now. Turns out we were blowing the RTL. So he just took out some code that we didn't need, and poof! It works! Or so I hope.

I want it to end

I wish that I could figure out what the problem is with my Final project. I'm pretty sure that none of the components are operating at resfreq, but at the same time I don't know what to do. There's an error in the real time loop, and the PIC (Programmable Intergrated Circuit) doesn't want to acknowledge the interrupt that we have on it to realize that time is passing and we want it to notice. Six hours Joey and I were trying to figure this out. Six hours of my life that could have been better spent by singing in choir (which I missed), or sleeping (which I've been lacking), or even flossing my teeth (which I haven't done for some time).

I was able to read some more pages of "Xenocide", which I've been trying to read before the end of the semester. Just as a challenge to myself to see if I'll be able to handle the reading requirements for my comparative literature course in the fall.

Too much constructive interference. Need to decrease the amplitude/gain. Time to become dead to the world for a few hours. Perferably eight.

Exploration

I spoke with my friend Nelson today to get a better handle on the nature of resonant frequency (or resfreq as I like to call it). It's crazy how you can have a conversation with someone, and be following the whole thing, then as soon as it's over, you have no idea what just happened. He was talking about pheons or something, and that got my mind realing. The thing that stayed with my is that when an object is subjected to it's resfreq, then it will continue to gain amplitude (or energy) until failure. Aparently all matter has a resfreq, circuits, glass, crystals, but it's a matter of how close the force is to the resfreq that will determine if the object will lose it's structure.

Anywho, off to class.

The Beginning

All great journeys start with a single step, and so do trips to the grocery store. Is life so complex and extraordinary that we all must hire people to record our lives? Maybe, maybe not. It's going to happen one way or another, and I figure it would be best if I put my voice forward to what is worthy of being recorded for future posterity, or ten minutes from now.

For those who are not familiar with physics, electronics, geology, or any other branch of science that deals with resonant frequency, it's a scary thing. Cool, but scary. As far as I know, it's the frequency at which material will become disturbed and particles will break off. For fluids or gases, that's not a big problem, but if it's solid... Let's just say it won't stay that way.

And sometimes life is like that. Things fall apart, get shaken up, or just explode. Sometimes cool, sometimes scary, but it comes and goes. I'm going to investigate that further, just to make sure that I know what the heck I'm talking about, and give my friends an oppurtunity to use their vast amounts of knowledge that they've aquired during their university careers.
