090915 Micro+

Woke up, let Rook out, screamed out of the house. Its not that I need Hubby to wake me, its that I have so little motivation when he's in the field. Did clean the house a wee bit yesterday, and will more after school. Good LORD than man leaves a mess the weekend before the field. "Full sink & an empty fridge." :P

Micro Lab was.. Uneventful enough to annoy me. My first foray into Gram Staining resulted in much Pink, not much purple, and the friggin prof won't even tell me what I did incorrectly because I failed to complete the superflous step of drawing a sharpie circle on the slide before placing it on the scope.
-I showed you the bacteria... So.. What's wrong with it? Do you really need the circle that bad? Then WHY didn't we have one in the previous weeks?
-Doesn't matter: we'll just let me go uneducated over one damned sharpie mark.

1015 So.. Those of us who woke up @6am, had breakfast, &want lunch can't even order it til after 1030. W...tf. Its1015btw. &I cant order. /so grouchy now.

1035 Hmmm Maybe its a good thing I had to wait. I sat @BK for15m to order lunch, to find out one of the cooks is vomiting blood in the bathroom a has been coughing all mornin. No one ordering OR serving seemed to find this disturbing but ME. ...Needless to say, I didn't eat there.

Star Trek Diplomas: All of them. I think.

Image
So... StarTrek.Com has released a Starfleet Academy Diploma.  I wanted to see if the design was supported by canon (because I'm a huge fact-check nerd) and in my quest collected what I think to be all the diploma designs officially used on the show. I'm still looking though, so if you find one I don't have here, please leave a comment! Confirmed authentic : Voyager epi "Non Sequitur". It appears to be the first time a diploma had been shown, if rabid Trekkers diligently duplicating it is any indication. If you register at the LCARSc site, you can download a free template to make your own! (ref: http://www.lcarsc.com/entry.php/34-Freebie-Friday-Starfleet-Diploma ) Confirmed authentic:  Enterprise : "Storm Front, Part II" Earlier in storyline, later in established canon. Found via http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Starfleet_Academy_majors Official StarTrek.Com diploma (Released 2012):  I can't find any epi screenshot t

De Groote Museum

 De Groote Museum (The Great Museum) is centered around the concept that everything is connected . It's part of the Artis Royal Zoo complex (like Micropia) but has a separate entrance and fee (included in the Museum Card).  The museum was closed for 75 years (not a typo!) and reopened in 2022. It used to be the  'Main Building' or 'Zoological Museum' for Artis. You can read more about it's scientific use at their website ! ARTIS honorary member and professor of Anatomy Willem Vrolik (1801-1863) gave lectures on the autopsies he performed on animals that had died in the zoo. He published the very first scientific description of various animal species. After the autopsy, the animals were prepared and ended up in the museum. At that time, ARTIS mainly wanted to collect and understand nature, in order to promote knowledge in an accessible way. The main hall has a nice area for rest (and maybe yoga). Everything needs rest! There's a soundscape that plays throug

Classroom Architect

One of my assignments for Intro to Tech for Educators was to design a classroom (to certain specifications). I'm posting it here A: Because it's neat.  B: In case the file upload goes wrong.  C: Look! I made it a science classroom! Look's like the one I had when I was in 7th grade science! Bangarang!
