Fluid Dynamics

Fluid Dynamics

Astrophysics may sound like very cerebral work, but I don’t think it is all that hard. Nothing the old slide rule and compass can’t handle.  I mean it’s not rocket science is it.* Now fluid dynamics, that’s a much more interesting and practical field of science. And...

A Puzzle of a Pint

A Puzzle of a Pint

All You Need is Love, and a Guinness

All You Need is Love, and a Guinness

Out for a big night in the little apple. At the Walrus and time to wet the ol’ whiskers (mine not the Walrus's).  It’s draft day but we aren’t interested in a rookie. Calling in a good old Guinness on tap. Hard to go wrong with the classic. A pro pour, wish I could...
