The Solar Flare Formulation
Mar. 8th, 2012 03:02 pmA fine sunny day.
I did my usual “buddying” stint down at the library and helped one person who wanted to use Facebook. I had a chat with the librarian. We got talking about the different types of coffees, and he said that a tall flat was his favourite. For me, a strong macchiato is my tipple of the bean.
Last night I watched a downloaded Horizon programme on the threat of solar flares to the Earth. Equally fascinating and disconcerting. Within the next two years we could see a high point in the number of solar flares that could disrupt communications and the modern technological infrastructure. Worth watching on the BBC iPlayer.
The following paragraphs addresses some issues from the previous evening.
( A rant )
I have been dipping into a book from the library called “The Rest Is Noise, Listening To The Twentieth Century” by Alex Ross (Harper Perennial).The focus is mostly on modern classical music but it is a thoroughly enjoyable book to read, and covers the composers I have always been interested in.
