| Off for the Holidays! Merry Christmas, etc! | Dec 22, 2023 6:53 PM PST | url |

I'm off for the holidays! I think I'll be trying to do the part of my taxes I need for state business tax reporting—which is due in Jan :p—on the day after New Year's, and then probably back to the A* drawing board the day after that!
In the meantime, Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Excelsior, etc! ^ _^ Thanks everyone for reading A* in 2023!!!

| A* is spinning fast | Dec 15, 2023 6:59 PM PST | url |

Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy, made the news over the past week, picking up that scientists recently reported they'd calculated the speed of its spin: near the theoretical maximum for a black hole of its size. I couldn't find that broken down in layman's terms, other than "a significant fraction of the speed of light."
Black holes are simple things when you get right down to it, so to calculate A*'s rotational speed via "the outflow method," all they needed to know was its mass—just over 4 million Suns—as well as its energy output in radio waves—much of it in the form of a jet, the readings suggest—and X-rays (from its accretion disc), the latter two values being obtainable from existing NASA Chandra X-ray space telescope readings.
A*'s rotational speed had been calculated before using different methods, but the "outflow method" is apparently thought to be pretty darned solid; it had already "been applied to over 700 supermassive black holes."

| New computer table! = D | Dec 11, 2023 8:20 PM PST | url |

My new computer table that I ordered from Amazon 3 months ago (I got them on the line a week ago and they were like oh yeah that's been sitting around way too long, I'll send a note to the warehouse guys, you should get a shipping notification within 48 hours : PP) finally arrived today! And I didn't get any drawing done because I was busy developing blisters on my drawing hand screwing 16 screws into particle board to attach the table legs—which are height adjustable! And the table is from a school furniture manufacturer, so it is SUPER heavy and sturdy, and I can finally type without my keyboard tilting back and forth like it did on the curving surface of the 70's-era card table from my parents' house that I've been using for the past I dunno maybe 7 or 8 years. And it has adjustable casters so it stays completely stable on my apartment's gently undulating fake-wood-flooring-product-over-old-house-concrete-foundation floor! This new table is a ROCK! : DD And I can sit at a natural height with it 'cause I can put it at any height I want! : DDD So this should at least help with various ergonomic aches and pains I've grown tired of having while trying to do computer stuff. Hurrah! ^_^_^_^_^^_^
