Tonight, I had a patron tell me that last night’s DJ told her that I’m known for playing a lot of 90’s music. I responded that I play whatever the crowd responds well to, and often times that’s what it is. She replied “Yeah, I’m here to request that, that’s what I like” lol.

Child Marriage in the U.S.

I’m making this post as a reference to check back on later. In Idaho last year, legislators struck down a bill that would end child marriages in the state. I asked myself why anyone would support child marriage, and it made me wonder if statutory rape was exempted if one is married to the child. Turns out, that’s the case in pretty much every state that allows underage marriage. No wonder it’s so popular. Continue Reading

“Renewable” vs clean

This is my long fb post addressing an article that attacks nuclear energy by claiming that renewables are cheaper.

Cleantechnica article shared by Global Warming “Fact” Of The Day:

“Correcting Anti-Renewable Energy Propaganda” [1]

Buckle up, this is a long one.

They start out by attacking nuclear energy, our largest source of clean energy, and referring to proponents as “anti-renewable propagandists.” Continue Reading

Pirate Metal?!

So I’ve been listening to a lot of Alestorm lately, (check out No Grave But The Sea, it’s awesome), and it got me thinking: Modern “pirate” music has to be influenced by movies; like, culturally this is where we get our idea of what “pirate music” should sound like. So would it be fair to say that a movie composer like John Williams or Hans Zimmer could be the “father of modern pirate music”? Continue Reading

Here is the playlist for the set I DJed last night. They are not all in order as I went back and forth between two different programs throughout the night, Serato for my main mixing and another for playing requests and songs I don’t have on my laptop. Had a ton of fun and a great crowd, started the night off with country/classic rock and then kicked off the dance music sometime between 10:30 and 11.

Rick Springfield – Jessie’s Girl
Leo Santana & Anitta – Contatinho
Popbytes – Ultimate 80’s Mashup
Cardi B – I Like It (ft Bad Bunny, J Balvin)
Ludacris – What’s Your Fantasy Continue Reading

Here are three short videos I made on the main functions of the CDV-718 survey meter. This is the same as the military Radiac Set AN/VDR-2, except that it’s Civil Defense (FEMA) Yellow instead of Olive Drab green, and it reads in Roentgen (R) and mR, instead of Grey (Gy) and mGy. Continue Reading

To go along with my posts Radium Sources and Uranium Glass, here are my miscellaneous samples that don’t fit easily into either category (despite some having the same active elements). These are Fiestaware, uranium ore samples, thorium sources, and a few other things I have laying around. All these and more can also be found on my Instagram page. Enjoy! Continue Reading

Radalert 50 Radium Sources

To go along with my Uranium Glass and Other Sources posts, here are the pics of my radium sources; clocks, watches and compasses. In the first couple decades of the 1900’s, radium was painted onto things like clocks because it glows in the dark; hit it with a blacklight, and not only will it glow, but the glow fades away slowly too. Of course, that depends on how depleted the radium is. Again, like with the glass, these are very safe to own and keep, just wash your hands after handling and don’t touch any of the faces directly if you happen to have one missing a cover or something.

Radalert 50 Uranium Glass

I’ve done CPM (counts-per-minute) readings on pretty much all of my radiation sources with the Radalert 50. Below are all my uranium-glass sources. Some are Vaseline glass, some are custard glass, some I’m not sure about, but they all were colored with uranium (or thorium) and so they read on the Geiger counters. They are perfectly safe to have and even to use; the radiation levels they emit are negligible. Continue Reading
