The Stars Inside Us
Our bodies are made of material that was forged in the cores of stars. Our universe was initially composed almost entirely of Hydrogen and Helium, the lightest elements.  The only way to really form the heavier elements that are required for life (Carbon, Oxygen, Iron, etc) is through stars formation and subsequent explosive nucleosynthesis.  Huge clouds of hydrogen and helium coalesce over...

Happy D-Day
My divorce is official! Don’t cringe!  It’s not dramatic - it’s celebratory.  One phase of my life has concluded, and made way for the next.  I enjoyed the time that Stephanie and I shared, and I’m really excited to create and discover a new future. All of the household comforts, stability, and certainty I enjoyed have been exchanged for the opportunity to experience...

The 2010 Feltron Annual Report →

mnmlist: live more, need less →
I love this: “The more I focus on living, the less it seems I need.” I’ve got a brand new apartment, and no significant furniture to speak of.  I’m considering keeping it that way. I don’t have cable TV anymore, and I don’t plan to invite groups of friends over just to watch television.  I’m going to keep a dining table and chairs in the basement,...
