| 1000 - R2K |
| Sunday, April 11, 2010 |
R2K, a quake 3 blog, has been posting for about 5.5 years at this point. There have been about 340,000 page views, and perhaps even more impressive, about 88,000 profile views. Posting rates drastically increased during the past year or so, and to help keep track, I have started numbering the posts.
To celebrate the 1000th post, I have decided to stop posting for a month. Posting will continue at High power rocketry and Micro Images.
There are a few reasons for this. Firstly, Google adsense income has dropped from the typical few dollars a day ($20 on a good day), to now just a few cents per day. This is partially due to a reduction in hits, but mostly due to Google simply offering less money per click. They have drastically slashed income, and I can only assume this is the same across the board for most content hosts. This is a double edged sword.
This used to be a nice source of income on the side, a few hundred here and there from time to time. But it is also liberating to no longer have to maintain this income. Also, the number of loyal readers (and particularly those who comment) has decreased greatly. This may be due to me no longer visiting other blogs often, largely because my friends in blogger have stopped posting. Finally, my workload has increased, particularly during the first three months of this year. Post rates are easy to maintain, particularly when they are cutting and pasting cool things or naked Asian women. But this is a good time to consider stopping and letting the electrons lie fallow. Rather than just fade away and stop posting, or leave things up in the air, I will continue posting 1 month from today. Readers can return then, on May 11th, but do not have to check back before then because this will be the last post. (Unless there is some emergency post so important that it just has to be added.) At this time, I hope to return and decide how to proceed. This may mean altering the page, perhaps a new template and a new look, new post rates, etc. If you are interested, please visit the archives. There were some great posts back in 2006 - 2008, I think. That may have been the high water mark around here. Archives are located in the usual place, down on the right. If you want new pages to visit, consider these: http://www.neatorama.com/http://www.darkroastedblend.com/http://englishrussia.com/And on that note, I leave you with, The Deep:  |

Back in the day I had a pocket full of rocks

About to get paid stacking up my paper

Just run on my screen on 360 playing Halo
Hoes dropping like it's hot when ever I say so
Cause I'm the man diamonds on my hand
Got big bass in the back of the blue van

And thanks to Bun-B and Pimp-C I got two gold plaques

Do it for the south and do it for the Hawk
And who ever don't like it keep my dick up in they mouth
I'm Screwed Up Click till they lay me in my casket

Hand on my steel wood grain wheel
You can hardy see me with the diamonds on my grill
You can hide behind the parts of diamonds on my wrist
And can't nobody do it like me cause I do it like this

| 996 - Kiwi Nuclear Thermal Rocket |
|
"A modified Kiwi nuclear reactor was deliberately destroyed at the Nuclear Rocket Development Station in Jackass Flats, Nevada, as a safety experiment simulating an accident during a launch. Nuclear scientists imposed a sudden increase in power on the generator, there was a rapid release of heat and energy that caused the reactor to burst apart. The safety experiment was designed to obtain basic reactor shutdown information for use in predicting the behavior of nuclear rocket reactors under a wide range of accident conditions. Kiwi was a project under the National Nuclear Rocket development program, sponsored jointly by the Atomic Energy Commission and NASA as part of project Rover/NERVA (Nuclear Engine for Rocket Vehicle Application). The main objective of Rover/NERVA was to design a flight rated thermodynamic nuclear rocket engine. Kiwi was a prototype for a nuclear rocket reactor that could be used in space travel. Gaseous hydrogen was used as a propellant on the Kiwi-A tests that began in 1959. Kiwi-A served as a learning tool to test specifications and to discover changes that needed to be implemented in the next phase of study, the Kiwi-B series. This project began in December 1961 and used liquid hydrogen as a propellant. In the late 1960's and early 1970's, the Nixon Administration cut NASA and NERVA funding dramatically. The cutbacks were made in response to a lack of public interest in human spaceflight, the end of the space race after the Apollo Moon landing, and the growing use of low-cost unmanned, robotic space probes. Eventually NERVA lost its funding, and the project ended in 1973."

| 991 - The glory of the war in Iraq |
| Monday, April 05, 2010 |
"Wikileaks has obtained and decrypted this previously unreleased video footage from a US Apache helicopter in 2007. It shows Reuters journalist Namir Noor-Eldeen, driver Saeed Chmagh, and several others as the Apache shoots and kills them in a public square in Eastern Baghdad. They are apparently assumed to be insurgents. After the initial shooting, an unarmed group of adults and children in a minivan arrives on the scene and attempts to transport the wounded. They are fired upon as well. The official statement on this incident initially listed all adults as insurgents and claimed the US military did not know how the deaths ocurred. Wikileaks released this video with transcripts and a package of supporting documents on April 5th 2010 on http://collateralmurder.com"
