thermodynamics

did you ever know that a piston cylinder is a constant-pressure device? Please, share with me your views on this by giving me comments.

that's a silly thing to blog about. You ought to say what most people say on their first blog: "This is my first blog, and it's so exciting, and I don't have anything to say."

Thaddeus said...

hey, post something new. I want to hear a funny story about some clueless girl in one of your classes. Oh, wait, I almost forgot. You only have engineering classes.

Beetle said...

Thad? This is weird. Blake's racecar went 188 on the salt flats and then the pistons melted. They couldn't handle the constant pressure.

Kendra said...

I have to say that the only thing I know about pistons is that they help engines run. Oh, maybe one more thing. I had a rod blow apart in a riding lawn mower once and parts of the piston ripped through the side of the mower. Kinda cool, but not that scientific.

I know I should be ashamed of myself for not knowing more...but I've never aspired to be an engineer, so I'm not THAT ashamed.

Welcome to the world of blog. I'd say it's been a long time in coming...but it's better late than never.

Rasheed Wallace plays for the Pistons. talk about constant pressure.

JethRobyn said...

Umm I have no idea what that means, but we saw you and your band on BYU TV on Saturday, Rock On.

You learn pretty quickly that it is a constant-pressure device when it is constantly pressuring your face.

Jancisco said...

hey Uncle Curtis. I didn't know you liked guns. Ben has a piston too.

Beetle said...

Maybe Jan meant a pistol? Not sure. Bakersfield for life! Hey Curtis. Once upon a time, I thought Thad just started a new blog and made all his own comments on it. You should write a new blog.

Benjamin said...

It's ridiculous that this blog post now has 10 comments.

Thaddeus said...

Let's see how big we can make it!

Curtis, you're blog is the biggest thing since the Eagle Nebula! (That means you ought to keep posting to it).

Thaddeus said...

Curtis, I gave you a big long list of blog ideas! If you don't use one of them soon, I might have to give them to someone else!

hosander said...

Curtis if you don't blog again, I'm removing you from my link list. and you can take that, to the bank.

Curtis "Curtis" Wiederhold said...

Curtis here,

I think that maybe instead of actually posting a blog (I refrain from saying "new blog" because in all actuality it was Thad who wrote the one about thermodynamics [gasp]- in fact it was Thad who set up this entire blog of "mine" to begin with [two gasps]), I will publish my thoughts and such as mere comments appended to this one master blog. I foresee a day in which the father blog "thermodynamics" has hundreds, nay, thousands of comment children that make up the true body of "my" blog. May I also in true Dave Barry style point out that "The Father Blog" would make an awesome band name.

Thaddeus said...

I'm glad you finally did something here. I was starting to think you didn't know how to log in.

hosander said...

not good enough, I'm deleting you.

DA-LEETED

LJ said...

Curtis?! Is it really you? It's your lover LJ!

Thaddeus said...

Tag! You're it! Look at my blog for more details. (And I do expect you to follow through!)

Thaddeus said...

These comments are hilarious, Curtis! Are the good times over?
