What the fuck is the deal?

RAM came in the mail today. Looking for the board, CPU, and SSD on Friday.

I want one of these shirts. But I also want a lab coat. I have now for quite some time. Eight years.

Toy Story 3 3D was phenomenal. My throat had laughs and my eyes had tears and my brain was in wonder.
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is pretty sweet so far.
But I immediately looked up his shirt and then got distracted by 50 other shirts that I want.
I think I'm gonna invest in a tshirt overhaul.

..brb learning more about Marten van Buren...

There's no time to fuck around.

Stop being stoned, Mary!

This is my computer. I've been obsessing over it for over a year and changed the specs August million times. But I'm getting this setup for real. It's gonna be my birthday gosh damnit.

All is either in my case or on order, except for the new case, and the Cooler Master heatsink. I've painstakingly gone over the specs to get the most compatible main components, and I'm sick of it. I can't wait to put this thing together haphazardly, so I can take it apart again and build it into the case with the cooling and features I want.
As excited as I am about the new hardware, this fucking case gave me goosebumps after I decided to see what was available today and became sorely disappointed with sizes pricing and features over and over, and started wishing I could design my own case-- then I found it. I am in love with it for every reason, and here's why...

Front does not have a god damn door. Front is flush and clean looking. There are no exuberant lights. In fact all of it is pretty well flush and clean looking. Doesn't look like a god damn LEGO UFO had sex with a Trapper Keeper. Side panel does not have a god damn "CPU" fan that does nothing except grind on its own dangling cables that cannot be managed because when you open the case they will pull on the motherboard. Side has a gigantic, simple square-shaped window, showing off the clean, open design. Inside has cable management features that will conceal the cables and actually get them out of the way of the massive airflow. Bottom has three biganquerous intake fans that cover all the internal components neatly, totally, and efficiently. Fans are complete with removable, washable dust filters. Three HDD mounts are just at the bottom and vertical, so that the front-most intake fan blows right across all of them. HDD bay can be pulled out the front. SSD mount is included and concealed. Back has nothing but PSU intake vent. Nothing. Motherboard mounts away from the back, flush to the top, and at a 90 degree angle from standard setups. Motherboard mount includes CPU access from underside for mounting cooling unit. Top has a huge vented cover that conceals all the external ports and attached cabling, and neatly puts them out one central location at the back top corner. Top exhaust is positioned directly above CPU, and otherwise provides August million percent better airflow design than pert'near anything I've seen. Top exhaust incorporates GPU, CPU, and PSU, and actually makes sense physically!

Observe... The placement of the graphics cards, the CPU heatsink, and PSU (black box on the right):

The CPU cooler I've chosen will compliment the airflow pattern perfectly, with a fat ass perpendicular heatsink design incorporating two fans that blow through it directly up to the case's top exhaust fan.

The only weird part about the case itself is going to be that it looks to be over 25" long. I may have to move some stuff around to put this guy under the TV, but that's totally going to be worth it. It will actually be an inch or two shorter in height, which I'm excited about. And I don't have a clue what my box weighs, but the new package will weigh a cool 50 pounds, collectively. Approximately.

Here are links to the hardware:

Case: Newegg

Case: Manufacturer

Cooler Master: Newegg

Board: Newegg

CPU: Newegg

RAM: Newegg

GPU: Newegg

By the way, I did order the RAM from Newegg, and plan to order the case and cooler likewise, but the SSD, board, and CPU came from a friend off Intel Retail Edge, and the rest of the hardware are from Best Buy. The Operating Systems are from the internets... Microsoft.com lol

I will not be shit!

So when I did these figures...
500, 1,000, 2,000, 3,000 units, right?
I said, "Check this out.
Fuck this, man."
It's... I'm sorry for erasing that,
but it's

There is no one watching out for us.

Curiosity has fully overwhelmed me.
Life's practical concerns become but completely arbitrary.
This planet is rolling a dead world through space, if we don't disassociate ourselves from our habitual absurdity. Everything we know is contrived and ridiculous. Furthermore, whether or not there is a meaning to life, the general population is falling short of fulfilling their duties as conscious beings. If we have Purpose, we are collectively defeating it by busying ourselves with incessant fabrication and materialism.
The Cosmos is knowable, and I increasingly feel I must become part of the party that quest for experience.
I crave to strive for a chance to sense the world as the new leaders in technology do; to surpass their abilities and open doors for future explorers.

I shall have a task, to make an example in these wretched and unfruitful times.
Good idea? Of course it's a good idea!
Behold! I will look well, for it is my sacred task to seek this knowledge.
That is my purpose.
The Quest for the Holy Grail.
A blessing!
A blessing from the Lord!
God be praised!

I've finally decided, logically, I should do what suits me. It would be physically impossible to do otherwise.

Physics is way too broad a subject. I've waited for a moment when it would shift in one way or another to peak my interest in any particular field. Though every aspect of it still inspires me, I'm now leaning toward a very large pallet on the very small end of the spectrum in the way of physics degrees:

Particle Physics

Quantum Physics

Theoretical Philosophical Physics

Electronics

Elecromagnetic Theory

Computer Programming

And with this information, I will...

And the cycle continues...

	These impure thoughts lead to soulless action
	Furthered by the thoughts of a confused soul, a man with no release! Furthered by his own thoughts... Furthered by his own thoughts...
Slowing the rotation... Slowing the rotation... Slowing the rotation... Slowing the rotation... of the cogs and the gears. Slowing, slowing...
A halting machine! A haunting disease! A man with no release!

Some fuckin' grapes.

Don't say I didn't warn you, bro. The Universe is mostly beige. That is, the Universe is mostly outside the spectrum of visible light, both infrared (microwave, radio) and ultraviolet (x-ray, gamma ray). There's no temperature in space, as space by definition is empty and matterless, and temperature by definition is an average energy of motion of particles in matter. Yet these are the measurements we primarily take of the Cosmos, in hopes of gaining some understanding of our origins. All of the light, though not visible by Human eye, is known to travel at the same speed, c, and every bit of technology constructed to observe the open sky is an extension of the eyes' seemingly insignificant sense, and a comparison with what we know about light's behavior over time. (Evolutionarily, there's good reason we only see during hours of sunlight, but that's eight other nines.)

How Science was made:

"In the beginning," there was either something, or nothing, but there was also physics, which is "always" calculating, and that requires mathematics, which are "constant," and this means nothing, considering "the beginning" could be the ordinary middle part of something else. Or, that nothing is what it seems in regards to our understanding of "time," which may in turn have no real meaning, rendering "the beginning," and, in fact, all of "the past" to be illusory patterns promising a "future" of nothing at all. That means something to me. Nothing can kill the Grimace. Deep Blue Something.

The atoms of all elements are built of hydrogen atoms, bound together, and presumably, have at one time been formed from hydrogen. The electrically neutral hydrogen atom contains a single positively-charged proton (composed of two up quarks and one down quark) and a single negatively-charged electron, bound to the nucleus by the Coulomb force.

For the first 400 hot millennia, atomic nuclei with no electrons: 90% hydrogen, most of the rest helium (which contains the same subatomic particles in different amounts, plus neutrons, which have no net electric charge and are composed of one up quark and two down quarks), and small amounts of Lithium, jiggled around in space. Upon cooling enough, and capturing electrons, thus becoming full atoms, the possibility of chemistry was born.

Molecules formed such as H2 and LiH formed in clouds of gas which brewed as the Universe grew and cooled more and more, allowing the particles to settle onto one another, the lower temperature meaning less/slower movement and calmer collisions. As the gravity of these clouds of particles grew large enough, stars formed, burning the elements as fuel until exhausting and exploding as it collapses from its own exaggerated gravity, creating heavier elements in their cores in the process. Astronomy was in the making.

These first generation stars burn until their cores collapse under the gravitational force, heating up more, fusing hydrogen and helium nuclei into carbon cores. Burning gives off energy to resist collapse under its own gravity, but after using up enough fuel in its core, it collapses yet again, producing enough heat to fuse the carbon into such popular films as: nitrogen, oxygen, sodium, magnesium, silicon, iron.

Fusing iron no longer gives off the energy needed to resist gravity; the process now consumes energy, collapsing the star once more, and now manufacturing a supernova, which explodes with enough energy to create even heavier atoms. The previous, lighter atoms, however, are now scattered and distributed to gas clouds, left to mingle and create relationships as more complex molecules as they cool. This time, however, the atoms present happen to be the simplest ingredients of life as we know it.

Gravity will build many carbon and silicon based molecules as the temperature continues to drop and particles are passing each other more slowly. Molecules such as CO and more H2, then H2O, CO2 form, and cooler and cooler clouds allow for larger and more complex molecules.

As soon as there is a dense enough center in the cloud, gravity forces the cool particles together into a star again, undoing all the chemical bonds in that area and forming yet again into a nuclear furnace. The outer regions of the cloud, however, may remain in their dusty states. But the matter that is close enough to the new star's gravity, yet far enough to escape consumption, swirls into a new solar system! While this excites me greatly, it means the possibility of Earth science was born. Bo-RING!

There are still existing molecules in the new solar system, as well as cool enough temperatures to continue building new ones. Planets and comets can form and continue to orbit their star, absorbing its light energy, while manufacturing abundant molecular structures. Amino acids, and therefore proteins (eventually) form. The possibility of biology is born.

The bigger the molecule, the more intricate its particle bonds. But each has its own pattern of light. We can now determine which part of where is made of what. We come to conclusions based on interactions and observations of...everything, over time, and we realize we are reasoning, and examining causality, and that therefore time must exist... or must it? ...Do we? ...and the possibility of philosophical logic is born.

inspired by Death by Black Hole: And Other Cosmic Quandaries by Neil deGrasse Tyson
"I know that the molecules in my body are traceable to phenomena in the Cosmos.
That makes me want to grab people in the street, and say, 'have you heard this?!'"

Today's word is: Squander. Squander.

"Faith is an excitement and an enthusiasm: it is a condition of intellectual magnificence to which we must cling as to a treasure, and not squander on our way through life in the small coin of empty words, or in exact and priggish argument."
-George Sand

"Physical pleasure is a sensual experience no different from pure seeing or the pure sensation with which a fine fruit fills the tongue; it is a great unending experience, which is given us, a knowing of the world, the fullness and the glory of all knowing. And not our acceptance of it is bad; the bad thing is that most people misuse and squander this experience and apply it as a stimulant at the tired spots of their lives and as distraction instead of a rallying toward exalted moments."
-Rainer Maria Rilke

"Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of."
-Benjamin Franklin

No for real, I'm rebuilding my PC.

It's been too long putting it off. I manufacture's-warranty-returned my old PSU and GPU, and bought a new 900/1000W PSU, two replacement 120MM case fans, and a Mini PCIe eSATA card. I transferred the motherboard back into my bigger silver case, and the fans in it were absolute garbage. One would barely turn, presumably because of dust, and the other fell right off the bearing assembly, held on barely by magnet. The top 80MM blowhole fan is fine for now, but it's going to need replaced... I just want to hold off on it and get another blue-only LED one, or one of the newer, really strong and quiet pieces.

Finally determined, after all my drives passed diag tests, that the one that I noticed was clicking was the 250GB, so I dumped and removed it. Now there are two brand new 1.5TB Western Digitals, the first of which I bought in fear that the failing drive was my 1TB... So now the old TB is a backup disk, and one of the new ones is media, the other a torrent seeding drive. Then there's an empty 200GB and a 70GB 2.5" hanging out in there. I might need a new case I guess, depending on what I do, I might use the 200GB as a clone disk. I think I'm going to use the 2.5" as a drivers / app setups archive.

Right now, the O/S disk is a 120GB with tons of space sitting open. I've decided, not only am I building the PC with Windows 7 Ultimate/Enterprise, as opposed to Vista (lol) {and will be dual booting OSX}, I will be purchasing a ~64GB solid state drive instead of a Raptor for the O/S disk. I'm looking at Corsair and Western Digital. I'll probably still use a 150GB VelociRaptor for program installation, however (possibly two in a raid).

The solid state drive will most likely be a 2.5" SATA II, though I am looking at two right now, and it's going to be a compromise between speed and integrity (which is hilarious, as neither will be an issue, I'm sure)

Pros	Cons
Western Digital
Western Digital Advanced Wear-Leveling Advanced Error Correcting Native Command Queuing Data Integrity Protection ATA SMART 170MB/s write speed MTBF 1.4 million hours 3 Year Warranty It's a Western Digital Additional bracket is dual drive, and my old laptop disk is loose inside the case now.	250 MB/s read speed Cost $250 Have to buy $30 bracket
Corsair
Includes 2.5" to 3.5" bracket 270MB/s read speed Cost $184	130MB/s write speed 2 Year Warranty MTBF 1 million hours

So as we can see, the good one is going to end up costing about $100 more. And the slower read speed is a jokingly small disadvantage. I think I'll continue my Western-Digital-only streak. Corsair can have my money for RAM. Probably. But this will be my next purchase after a graphics card.

I think I'm gonna buy either one of these tomorrow at work, actually:
XFX ATI Radeon HD 5750 or 5770, both are 128-bit 1GB GDDR5 PCIe 2.0 with 1080p HDMI out and 2xDVI, DX11, one 6-pinpower.

Then I'll start seriously pricing the rest. I'm estimating:
RAM (8GB DDR3) $250
Mobo (Intel 775) $130
CPU (wolfdale 3.0 or 3.16) $180
subtotal $560
Raptor $160 ea.
Cooling probably another $100

God, I can't wait to replace this board.

Brrerrrrrrrt!

Dream of me. We can live how we want now. This world has no boundaries.

We shall never wake up.
Let's kill them all.

Let's torch the world. This is for us.

Let's meet them for the first time. This isn't awkward is it?
It can't be, there are no worries. All we have to do is cut the fucking switch.

Wake the fuck up.
This is all I've ever dreamed.

This dream is all I've ever wanted, cared for. I only hope things haven't changed when I awake.

Life doesn't work like this.

Once a night my life is yours to create. Mold me and make me the child of the night, with all the ambition in the world.

My hate and worries cease to be, my fucked up little head controls me. Dream is destiny.
Wake the fuck up.
I kill.

I love, I end nightmares, I begin romances. I travel through sexual situations, I only hope to never wake.

I only hope, coz the exterior world is not making sense anymore. I tend to get scared.
Wake the fuck up.

No, whatever you do, don't be bored. This is absolutely the most exciting time we could have possibly hoped to be alive.
And things are just starting. Make this dream reality. Love you.

And if the world that we're forced to see, if it's false, and nothing is true, then make this dream real.

And if the world that we are forced, forced to see; if it's false, hell no, and nothing is true, nothing is true, then we stop holding; we'll make this dream, we'll make it real.

Great times

In Cali now, we picked up a Prius rental for the drive to Vegas, which we'll start in a couple hours, staying in Caesar's Palace... Set up an appointment to get four tattoos done on Tuesday, and Phil is getting one then as well.

Daddy what's it gonna be like in the year 2000?

Well sweetheart, for your sake, I hope it'll all be peaches and cream.

But I'm afraid the end time is near.

The cataclysmic apocalypse

referred to in the scriptures of every holy book known to mankind.

It will be an era fraught with boundless greed and corruption.

Where global monetary systems disintegrate,

leaving brother to kill brother for a grain of overcooked rice.

The nations of the civilized world will collapse,

under the oppressive weight of parasitic political conspiracies,

which remove all hope and optimism, from their once faithful citizens.

Around the globe, generations of polluters will be punished for their sins.

Unshielded by the ozone layer they have successfully depleted,

left to bake in the searing naked rays of light.

Wholesale assassinations serve to destabilize every remaining government,

leaving the starving and wicked to fend for themselves.

Bloodthirsty renegade cyborgs, created by tax dodging corporations, reek havoc.

Pissed off androids, tired of being slaves to a godless and gutless system,

where the rich get richer, and the poor get fucked over and out,

unleash total world wide destruction, by means of nuclear holocaust,

annihilating the terrified masses,

leaving in its torturous wake,

nothing but vicious,

cannibalistic,

mutated,

radiated,

and horribly disfigured hordes of satanic killers,

begged on revenge; but against whom?

There are so few left alive.

Starvation reigns supreme,

forcing unlucky survivors to eat anything and anyone in their path.

Massive earthquakes crack the planet's crust like a hollow eggshell,

causing unending volcanic eruptions.

The creatures of the seven seas, unable to escape to certain death upon land, boil in their liquid prison.

Disease encircles the Earth.

Plagues and viruses with no known cause, or cure,

laying waste to whatever draws breath.

And humankind, having proven itself to be nothing more than a race of ruthless scavengers,

fall victim to merciless attack at the hands of interplanetary alien tribes,

who seek to conquer our charred remains. 

This is Extinction Level Event:

The Final World Front.

And there is

Only

One

Year

Left.

Wow, that's cool, I can't hardly wait!

You don't have to, because here it is...

New features of the blog

I've recently made a lot of small updates to the blog here, one being splitting off my tattoo postings into their own separate blog, which can be accessed on the left pane under "What to expect of my blogs." Obviously, I'd mentioned this change before.

Another new change is adding pages. These are accessible from the non-blog pages tab on the left navigation pane. I spent a long time on, and am very proud to present, My thoughts, a 5½ page paper, single spaced, which can be found at http://rcarhar.blogspot.com/p/and-it-didnt-give-fuck-about-you-and-i.html

Many thanks to Google for this wondrous tool, provided free of charge and without advertisement, as always, with seemingly unlimited room to breathe.

"And it was the new music and it was timid, humble and stern. It was brown and light brown and sepia. It was almost forgotten; it lays in a ditch on the side of the road you and I drove along once, and it was happy to lie there day dreaming. It stretched into the distance further than you ever thought possible, and it didn't give a fuck about you and I either way."

     And I heard the sound of Alice chasing rabbits down a hole. At the end of the day I know, that we work all our lives, to pay for a cage they own. It ain't no coincidence that the whole world is torn in an endless debt. Violence. Illusion they're using to rule us; building their Babylon. But I'm holding out. They use us, laughing as we fall. All that's certain? I am still alive.

     And I know my friends, and I know my enemies. And I know one day peace will come to them. There's no need for this illusionment, my friends. Time has come for lucidity, now begin.

     I've got to feel, I want to feel. I've got to see, I want to see. Just need to hear, I want to hear. I've got to be, just let me be.

     Put down the pen, paperweight pig! Insatiable wants and greed. The weekends are the only time I really live!

     Kiss your wife, not that intern. Corporate world has no u-turn. If you applied, then just don't return. 

     Trapped in a cubical, I'm throwing a party in my head. It's all meaningless.

     Yes, were coming 'round to deliver. We'll get it in, put it in you. It's all around, all around you, 1010011010!

     I've got to feel, I want to feel. I've got to see, I want to see. Just need to hear, I want to hear. See...

WHAT MEAN

Good evening. This is an existentialist search for the meaning to life.

One can study Natural Selection, and one can study behavioral patterns suggesting wills. Look at all the pretty colours!

Will to Meaning

Will to Power

Will to Pleasure

Will to Life

Free Will

Will of God

Determinism

Predestination

Cosmic Joke

Primordial Soup Destiny Maturation

Butterfly Effect

Here's an interestingly refreshing discovery:
Abiogenesis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Primordial soup" redirects here. For the board game, see Primordial Soup (board game).
"Origin of life" redirects here. For views on the origins of life outside the natural sciences, see Creation myth.

...You know, it just dawned on me, it's a common reaction to assume; if you find any inkling of truth in the theory of evolution, yet don't understand it well; that we are the end product of the process. That leaves little to the imagination as far as Human Purpose, if we are all there is... But as I've pondered before, very many times, we're probably just another step, likely with no defined goal, maybe even an incredibly early stage... or likely still, maybe it's a completely unending process, save for the point in which the top race destroys the planet... or even the Universe... or at least the chain of time; obsessed with their youth.

So what just occurred to me was, if evolution is real, and there stands a pretty good argument that it is, then it still has absolutely nothing to do with the origin of life. It is rather, as Darwin began, the origin of the species.

The origin of life then must have his own study, its own theory; and that is abiogenisis. Where natural chemical reactions in inanimate matter started with amino acids, proteins, and nucleic acids. How replication and metabolism (photosynthesis) began.

And it just hit me... I was interested in the solution to the origin of life, sure. And I could study it and go into it for years. But I wasn't going to figure it out in bed with a laptop on Wikipedia. What struck me was, if abiogenisis and evolution were completely separate ideas, then there could feasibly be a third stage, at the very least, at any rate, a separate process still, in comparison to the former two: abiogenisis, evolution, posthuman.

Life gains just enough knowledge of their evolution that they purposely attempt to guide it towards whatever they want it to be. We could make, or have already made our race the final step in evolution. The next step is in progress. These are the current events. Die Übermenschen kommen, und Mann ist ein Laughingstock und eine schmerzliche Verlegenheit. Bitte gehen aus! Aufstieg Friedrich Nietzsche wieder! Es ist Ihre Zeit jetzt!

Posthuman Theories:

• Übergottheit Race
• Genetic Mutation favored into new physical species: faster, smarter, and possibly but not likely stronger than human
• Artificial Selection, Artificial Design, and Transfection / Transformation are likely used to guide evolution towards a transmutation into perceived desired traits, possibly into several species for different reasons
• Humans as we know them die out or become slaves
• Nanotech and Holographic AI
• Computer Generated Imagery evolves to a state indistinguishable from reality
• Artificial Intelligence evolves past human intelligence, possibly gaining sentience and emotion
• Humans farm machines as manual and intellectual slaves, as well as friends and lovers, and no longer necessarily require physical bodies
• H+ Bionic Immortals
• Humans append mechanical and otherwise manufactured components to their bodies to augment or repair organs and limbs
• Aging becomes unnecessary
• Death becomes eternally avoidable, save physical trauma
• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aubrey_de_Grey
• The Rise of the Machines
• AI gains sentience
• Humans destroyed or enslaved
• I, Robot

Time has come for lucidity, now begin.

I've decided it's time. My tattoo art is causing too much personal concern with its cluttery nature. I'm creating a new blog at http://rcarhart.blogspot.com called R Car Har / Art for drawings, specifically tattooey in nature, where I may move and continue my comic - style drawings as well.

Benchmark Trademark Current Events!

I was just editing a couple old posts on tattoos, as I've been designing new ones and redesigning old ones, in preparation to get one or two very soon, and I noticed that I had 99 posts...

So, Happy 100th post, motherfucker!!!!

...So I thought I'd make a worthwhile post about the current events in my life, where everything is coming together to be an extravaganza of eight million exciting, enthralling, and exuberant events that are taking me, ecstatic, on an elated expedition in this era of my life.

I just did my taxes online last night.
Phil and I are flying to visit our friends in San Jose in 11 days.
We are driving with two friends from there to Las Vegas, to see the sites, and gamble some for my first time, in 13 days.
The estimated date for direct deposit from my tax refund, plus a guaranteed paycheck direct deposit, is in 14 days.
I am picking up my new puppy in Las Vegas, who will have just turned eight weeks old, and meeting a long time online friend for the first time in person, in 15 days.
We are driving back to San Jose to spend more time with friends in 16 days.
Somewhere in there, we are planning on visiting our tattoo artist in San Jose, to get some more work done.
Unless we make insane winnings in Sin City, we will be flying back with the puppy in 19 days.

Then I get to walk her and train her and bathe her and pet her!

Oh, how I've enjoyed two days off...

All hits and I'm feeling fine
Uncontrolled and undivided
No vendetta

All's clear in a silent mind

Ain't no words that can describe it
So much better

All invited
Humans undivided
Why not set aside the time to understand your mind

Take it slowly

While facts are showing

Until we're there
Until we all arrive

Into the rip

I'm heading out again

Over my head

I can't get out of it

Firing line, firing line, firing line

I realize

Real life
