In January, my wife and I took a Caribbean cruise aboard the Carnival Valor. This is the second in a two part series to bring you some geeky “behind the scenes” stuff about what it takes to bring you such a good time. In part 1, we got a tour of a good part of the ship (trust me, there’s more that we didn’t get to.) In part 2, we talk to one of the bridge officers, senior engineers, the cruise director, and the on-board IS manager. Good stuff!

Ok, so I’m not sure how serious this is, but it is too geeky to leave out of the Technorama fodder.
Nerdi gras, the nerd’s equivalent of mardi gras, begins today. It lasts from the square root of Christmas until Pi day.
(Christmas is 12/25; the square root of 1225 is 35, represented as
3/05. Pi day is, of course, pi (3.14) day, or 3/14.)

It’s never too early to prepare for Halloween…or a biological warfare incident. Put it next to your Zombie Preparedness Kit.

We are talking about the “UNIX Time”. The UNIX is a number defined as the number of seconds elapsed since midnight Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) of January 1, 1970.
In January I took a cruise on the high seas and brought you back some audio (and photos). This is part 1 where we take a tour of (part of) the ship. Part 2 will have more about the technical details of the big boat.

When people call it “space opera”, I don’t think this is what they meant.

This is so painful to watch…because I fell on my ass while laughing.
