(source) I won't tell you how I got there, but I have been thinking a lot about triangulation and refraction... Have you seen "The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys"(2002)?
(source) Dealing with topics like depression, incest, mortality, and overall general angst, the movie tells a coming-of-age story set in Catholic School. The scene that stuck with me (I'm bringing it back around now), is one where the boys are doing their homework assignment on the topic of triangulation. They tempt death by triangulating where the end of a telephone pole might fall once it is cut down with a chain saw... check it out for yourself, here.
I think all this science-geek wonder and talk is my way of not dealing with all the packing we will be doing this weekend, but - what can you do?
For all of you that find yourself FREE this weekend, my tip to you - check out Hive76 , our very own group of science-geek wonder and talk right here in Philadelphia!
(Hive76)
With very open doors, Hive 76's mission statement reads as follows:
"Hive 76 is a community of makers and crafters organized around a shared workspace. We enable our members to invent, build, collaborate and share skills. We promote science education and the do-it-yourself spirit in our greater community to enable people to make things awesome and make awesome things."
Check out their calendar, we just missed their free lock-picking workshop, but there is an Open House on the 7th!
Also, some music for your weekend:
Check out Haight-Ashbury 's song Freeman Town, here.
Hope you all enjoy your weekend!
