Inspired Science… or NOT

Posted by magicstar7 on January 4, 2008

How long did it take to come up with a project that required the use of Viagra on a Hamster?  If you like that, you’ll love the alternative source for Vanilla… Both projects listed as “winners” of 2007 Ig Nobel Awards.

No science here… just a melodic brain teaser. Name that tune.  He sings it backward. Good Luck!

Here from Where

Posted by magicstar7 on December 31, 2007

Maybe you’ve heard the story of Dorothy…. “At any time you have the power to click your heels and return home.”

Scarecrow to the Good Witch: “Why didn’t you tell her that before?”

Good Witch: “She would not have believed me. She had to find it out for herself.”

And what did Dorothy learn? If I can’t find it in my own backyard it was never lost. There’s no place like home.

And here we are! 

Monday 9am Tv Inspiration from the Bone Healer.  When we are called, there is no doubt. Planning goes out the door and life unfolds. What a wonderful ride. Have a wonderful 2008!

Painting and Numbers

Posted by magicstar7 on December 20, 2007

Time out for me invloves switching from writer mode to painter mode. Alexandra Nechita is an amazing artist. I like the light and joy in her work. She believes angels glow in the dark. So do I.

One of the places I like to play with time-out art: Mr. Picassohead. 

And today, thieves made off with a real Picasso.  Took ‘em 3 minutes – to  get a 50 million dollar haul. 

How to  unload that? Ebay? Too obvious. They could keep an eye out here. Tons of Picasso… however, 70 percent off 50 million might be a tip off … and a bargain!   : )

P.S. Thank goodness some of us think in pictures. Caught this Grinch in the act.

Lord of the Fliers

Posted by magicstar7 on December 18, 2007

*”To do amazing things, you have to take amazing risks.” Jeb Corliss – in pursuit of a winged flying record. 

*NYTimes

Guesses as to the lifespan of a Wing Suit? Any flier who wears one probably has an idea.  Fliers, like Loic Jean Albert, resemble a flying squirrel after they are launched to surf the breeze. 

Offering a small taste of the life of B.A.S.E. Jumping, a tag along with Jeb Corliss - sample. Home site for the DVD The Ground is the Limit. The goal: To keep B.A.S.E. jumping, the finding and transcending of one’s limits.

Are you willing to set an extraordinary goal?

Inspired Cello – Jammin’ Strings

Posted by magicstar7 on December 17, 2007

Making a difference… making waves…. 

Cellos rocking out to The Final Countdown is getting rave reviews amongst the web set. (The Hair helps!!)

Who knows, it might create a cello revival. If it does, see Steven Elisha. He’s great with kids (of all ages) eager to unlock their inner Cellist. Mr. Cello tours the world…and Iowa. Track him down here. A Cellist to remember.   : )   

Yo Steven! Brought back memories. I met Steven during his stint with The Kansas City Symphony when I heard this amazing cello music from my back yard and wanted to buy the CD. Turned out Steven was “practicing” for a performance. He lived next door.

Cool Cats

Posted by magicstar7 on December 14, 2007

 Tomorrow will give us something to think about.- Marcus Tullius Cicero   

Say “Hello” to tomorrow and “Welcome” to the Glow in the Dark Cat – Live. Designer colors sound enticing but the reality is the cats are being cloned for a more practical reason. They help science. 

However, glowing fish have been cloned for the pet market … It’s probably a matter of time before the cats join the club.
